Here at Pulled Pork, we (as in I) often come face-to-face with the hard reality that the greater Phoenix area epitomizes the strip-mall daytime and the foam party nighttime. Phoenix, you may have a "newish" metropolitan smell and a lot of fancy Escalades surrounded by bougainvillea, but you live and die by the credit card and you have the taste of a washed-out frat boy/sorority girl. You are, in a nutshell, culturally shallow. It's not too much of a knock; it's just who you are.
Perhaps, though, change is possible. Recently, with the indie scene catching the popular eye, the consumerism of Phoenix has taken notice. The hipsters are growing in numbers, and the little bars that used to cater to small numbers trying to catch a blur of their favorite midlevel band as they race through town are filling up. Now, Phoenix will get its very own mid-range, hipster venue.
The Crescent Ballroom will open it's doors in October to a flurry of concert activity. It is the work of hard working promoter Stateside Presents (Charlie Levy). It appears he shall use his influences to fill our ears with even greater goodness at this new establishment. The venue will be located at 308 N. 2nd Ave, Phoenix, AZ.

We will be updating the calendar with the new ballroom dates.
