Conspire

To say that this downtown Phoenix coffeehouse/boutique/music venue is a bit colorful would be a gross understatement. The entire exterior of this 1930s-era converted bungalow, located in downtown Phoenix, is covered with a massive multi-hued mural by local painters Pablo Luna and Lalo Cota, while its front and backyards are littered with funky sculptures and other vibrant objets d'art. It provides a rather lively milieu for the eclectic selection of local music makers and bands that perform on Conspire's outdoor stage during the monthly First Friday art walk or during weekend gigs -- ranging from indie rockers and experimental jazz acts to twisted turntablists and folk singers. Oh yeah, the joint also serves a pretty good cup of coffee, too.
