There is so much to see and do in a teeming metropolis like Scottsdale that it can be very difficult for visitors to the city to narrow down their to-do list and come up with a manageable itinerary.

However, heading out of the hotel in the evening and getting a taste of the local nightlife is an absolute must.

There are few better ways of doing this than by seeing some local live bands, which makes it easy to get a finger on the pulse of the city's contemporary culture.

On February 15th, the Martini Ranch will be playing host to a Record Label Showcase event - and this should fit the bill perfectly.

Small Leaks Sink Ships, Alien Atmosphere, No Longer Together, Incidental and Downfall are among the acts on the bill - and entry costs just $5.

Residents at the Millennium Resort Scottsdale McCormick Ranch will find that they are able to get to the venue in around 15 minutes by driving or jumping in a taxi.
