Populated by a kooky coterie of performers and artists, the Trunk Space has become a haven for nationally touring indie outfits like Quintron and Miss Pussycat, as well as a number of burgeoning local bands. Creating a hipster block on Grand along with the always-popular Bikini Lounge and candy shop/record store Sweets & Beats, this quaint performance space/boutique/espresso bar is a stomping ground for a variety of musicians, artists, and other creative Phoenicians. Since its opening in 2005, a quirky cross-section of comedians, theater troupes, fringe acts, poets, and freakazoids have also graced the venue's tiny stage.

2007 | BEST SWAP MEET

The Trunk Space's JRC and Steph are always up to something cool. And lately, they've found a new funky fashion stream of consciousness. Swap-o-Rama is a national thingy that pit-stops in Phoenix on Grand Ave. Just grab your crazy clothes and... More >
2007 | BEST PLACE TO CATCH LOCAL MUSIC SCENE NEWBIES

2006 | BEST CUP OF COFFEE ON GRAND

There's something about JRC and Stephanie's little red espresso cart at the Trunk Space that's just so personal and accessible. It's like a car full of clowns, except the clowns are coffee, prepared with mad skills right in front of you. They... More >

Parenthetical Girls @ Trunk Space

By Serene Dominic | Thu, February 09, 2012

Seeing Parenthetical Girls for the first time, via their Bergman-esque video for "A Song for Ellie Greenwich," induced the same chills I got when I saw Devo's TV debut on SNL — a smart, robotic band of art students is taking familiar pop music mot... More >

Take Cover: Sweetbleeders Cover PJ Harvey

Emperor X Makes Indie-Pop Gold -- Then Buries It

By Jason P. Woodbury | Thu, January 19, 2012

How do you define a good "bummer jam?" It's a tough call. Break down the term, and you've got two distinct goals: The song has to convey some serious sadness (the bummer) but it also has to jam (the, uh, jam). Many songs are bummers (see much of ... More >
