Primus
Primus is a band that needs no introduction. For the past 27 years the group have followed in the footsteps of boundary-pushing artists like Frank Zappa and Pink Floyd to create some of the most original and inventive music in existence—and they’ve collaborated with everyone from Tom Waits to Tom Morello over the years in the process. However nothing could properly prepare listeners for Green Naugahyde, which is the band’s first album in eleven years featuring the line-up of bassist/singer Les Claypool, guitarist Larry LaLonde and drummer Jay Lane.

Young Hunter’s Farewell Show
(7pm – FREE – 21+)
Young Hunter, one of Tucson’s favorite and most talented local acts, are sadly taking “an indefinite break.”
Although we are not happy to see such a great band go, we are happy to be hosting their farewell. With two excellent supporting acts, Ohioan and Shit Ton, this show is set to be one for the books. The best part about it all? It’s FREE.

The List: A Musical
Described by critics as ‘”a musical” and “10 dollars,” “The List” is a musical confirming everyone’s suspicions about the internet.
Follow our heroes Rikki and Seth as they meet strangers over the internet who invariably turn out to be weirdos. Experience what may be the first ever “feel-bad” comedy of the summer!
The List will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and then it will make you scream uncontrollably. If you are ready to finally see super villains onstage singing side-by-side with FBI agents, then this musical is for you. Also, if you have very specific tastes.
“There’s no I in Team, but there is an I in “Private Eye”. Also, the word “eye” is in there, too”
-Joe Desiderio, “The List”
A Musical By R. Clark Jewett , Proceeds to Benefit Arts for All
