The Buzz

10345 N. Scottsdale Rd. , Scottsdale

(480)991-3866

The Buzz is a favorite among underage college students. The club, within a shopping center, has two levels. The downstairs is for everyone, while the upstairs is only for those over 21 years old. Open only on Friday and Saturday. Though it’s intended for the youth, it’s a wide age range.  

Devil House

829 S. Rural Rd., Tempe

(480)517-1188

There really isn’t a ton to say about the Devil House. It’s located right near the crossing of Rural and University, making it an easy walk on foot. It’s a simple bar; not so expensive, not so big and not so concerned with anything other than offering beer drinkers and sports fans a homey place to meet up.  

Northern Lounge

5008 W. Northern Ave., Glendale

(623)937-0940

This bar is all about action and activity. You’re welcome, of course, to sit around and drink. You’ll come soon on stage for live music. It’s a fun, interactive atmosphere and their karaoke nights have been popular on the west side for quite a while.  

Casey Moore’s

850 S Ash Ave., Tempe

(480)968-9935

Casey Moore’s is really everything a college bar should be: comfortable, fun, reasonably-price and close to campus. The outside is pretty big and has plenty of tables, while inside is darker and equally comfortable and a big bar for sitting and chatting.

I first went to hear a live rock concert when I was eight years old. My brother
and his friends were all  36  of a heavy metal group called Black Wednesday. When they  37  that Black Wednesday were going to perform at our local theatre, they all bought  38  for performance. However, at the last minute, one of the friends couldn’t go, so my brother  39  me the ticket. I was really  40 !
I remember the buzz (嘈杂声) of excitement inside the theatre as we all found our  41 . After a few minutes, the lights went down and everybody became  42 . I could barely make out the stage in the  43 . We waited. Then there was a roar from the crowd, like an explosion, as the first members of the band  44  the stage. My brother leaned over and shouted something in my ear, but I couldn’t  45  what he was saying. The first song was already starting and the music was as  46  as a jet engine. I could  47  the drum beats and bass notes in my stomach.
I can’t recall any of the songs that the band played. I just  48  that I really enjoyed the show and didn’t want it to  49 . But in the end, after three encores (加演), the show finished. We left the  50  and walked unsteadily out onto the pavement. I felt a little dizzy, as if I had just  51  from a long sleep. My ears were still  52  with the beat of the last song.
After the  53  , I became a Black Wednesday fan too for a few years before getting into other kinds of music. Once in a while,  54 , I listen to one of their songs and  55  I’m back at that first show.
