As a part of their Rock It Up series, Tempe Marketplace on Wednesday evening (March 13) welcomed Los Angeles rock band Bad Suns, as well as locals MRCH and Allhumans for a free show out in the open-air. If you’re thinking “Tempe Marketplace doesn’t sound much like a venue”, it’s because it isn’t — but because of Arizona’s warm springtime weather, Tempe’s outdoor mall has been able to host free concerts for the past few years, usually drawing huge crowds to the shopping center. Thursday’s headliner Bad Suns are preparing to release their third full-length album, Mystic Truth, on March 22, and will embark on an extensive United States tour in early April. Meanwhile, Phoenix upstarts MRCH dropped a new single called “Some Days” on the day of the show, and while fellow locals Allhumans only have two songs released, their social media hints at a major development coming tomorrow. Stay tuned for that, and scan through our full gallery from the show below.
