Phoenix New Times

Picked up my free swag from PNT and was greeted with TV head mannequin

The New Times has been around longer than I've been in Arizona! Announcing concerts, jobs and interesting stories along the whole three decades I've been here. The fact I just happened to win a surprise pack from them is awesome! Even though I can't wear any of the shirts because they are large, medium and small. I'm more of a 2X kind of guy. Still very cool of them none the less

I went there one time when my first two CD albums were published and planned to buy some advertising. Big mistake! Not only were they extremely rude to me, they ordered me leave leave immediately, and a security guard escorted me out of their office. The guard told me that he had never seen anyone treated that badly by the New Times. Since then I never read it at all. It may be free, but in my humble opinion that's way too much .

Check out the logo they made for my new kava bar! I highly recommend working with this company on graphic design, print media, online, digital media, all of it. Ellis is amazing and always has what we need quickly and comes through with outstanding product and service. Thanks so much guys I really enjoy working with you.

Good Local news mag , the Local Music reviews & Critics used to be good - But the writers as of 2010's -from what I've seen and read-don't seem to enjoy their Local Music Scene too much & tend to write more interview type essays on the music they review these days. I used to love the fact that the 1990's - 2010's New Times music writers used to be seen out & about a lot at Local concerts and you could always depend on a unbiased LIVE review at least of some of the more talented Local musicians and artists that they would write about , from experience. They were in touch with the pulse of the scene back then. Now it is more about what's trendy & hip.
