*~*Thirsty Thursday, the "new" Saturday, and one day closer to the weekend*~*

The other day I was searching for spots where I could listen to live music while enjoying a cocktail and it was really hard to find a place, especially one that was not heavy metal or solely instrumental in the Scottsdale area! Hotel Indigo Scottsdale brings you the band PHEED every Thursday evening in the Divine Lounge. The music is wonderful, the setting brings a sense of serenity, and the lounge area set up is simply amazing. The band plays acoustical interpretations of your favorite songs.
Listen to their music on MySpace. The songs are really fantastic, http://www.myspace.com/wwmyspacecomrodny. PHEED is considered a combination of acoustic, Indie, and Rock and features the former drummer of the Gin Blossoms. The menu is "food for thought" and enjoy $5 martinis and $5 house wines during the live music performance. The acoustic jam session runs from 6 to 9 PM.

~*Looking to enjoy superb wine? Join Fines Cellar for drop-in Thursdays from 5 to 6:30 PM. The price is $5 with on-site wine tasting and a different winery host every Thursday. Enjoy three to four wines, an educational overview, and a $5 gift certificate to be used that day on food or wine.  Visit, http://www.finescellar.com/
