Phoenix Afrobeat Orchestra

ABOUT PHOENIX AFROBEAT ORCHESTRA

PHOENIX AFROBEAT ORCHESTRA [PAO!] proudly carries the musical and social torch that was first lit by the powerful duo of FELA KUTI and TONY ALLEN, original inventors of the Afrobeat sound in Lagos, Nigeria in West Africa. Led by funky heiress Camille Sledge the 16-strong orchestra is composed of the most ambitious and outrageous musicians in Phoenix today – making it the hottest super-group on the Hot City scene!

Beginning with a strict repertoire comprised of classic Afrobeat music, PAO! has now penned an abundance of original material that melds the eclectic heritage of the ensemble with that classic Afrobeat style. The outcome is a truly powerful sound that pays homage to the masters while maintaining a fierce individuality, acting as a loud voice-piece of solidarity and understanding for the global community. In 2023, the band will find themselves releasing and supporting their 3rd studio record "The Times" as well as more new music that has been crafted during this time of prolific societal unrest.

From concert hall to music festival, fashion show to fundraiser, PAO! has shared the stage with such musical icons as George Clinton and The Roots, as well as lesser-known masters including Bombino, Vieux Farka Touré, Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars, Orgone, Dengue Fever, Turkuaz, Sudan Archives, The Dip, and Los Esplifs.

fearofmakingout

ABOUT FEAROFMAKINGOUT

Phoenix-born band, fearofmakingout, pulls from emotionally resonant indie, moody alternative, and internet-era nostalgia to create music that is vulnerable and sometimes messy on purpose. They’ve always written for real people - for friends, for lovers, for the ones working hard and the ones barely holding it together.

Rooted in the desert but reaching far past it, fearofmakingout is proudly tied to the Mexican heritage of some of its members and the city that raised them. They take care with what they share, and when they do, it comes fast and full. No polish. No pose.

Ask what kind of band they are and the answer might change. But it’s always going to be true.

Selections include Dylan’s first film soundtrack for 1961’s “Autopsy on Operation Abolition;” a devastating solo rendition of “Ballad of Hollis Brown” from the 1963 TV special “Folk Songs and More Folk Songs;” a rollicking 1976 take on “I Pity the Poor Immigrant” with Joan Baez; a gospel-infused “Blowin’ in the Wind;” an apocalyptically rocking “When the Night Comes Falling from the Sky” with Dylan backed by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers; loving tributes to Johnny Cash and Tony Bennett; a glimpse into the Archive’s film restoration project with never-before-seen footage of “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” from 1966; and many more treasures.

NOIRVEMBER: Double Indemnity

November 15, 2025 | 1PM

Presented in Whiteman Hall

TICKETS: Free for Members | Included with General Admission*

*Ticket price included General Admission to Museum

Working with cowriter Raymond Chandler, director Billy Wilder launched himself onto the Hollywood A-list with this epitome of film-noir fatalism from James M. Cain’s pulp novel. When slick salesman Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray) walks into the swank home of dissatisfied housewife Phyllis Dietrichson (Stanwyck), he intends to sell insurance, but he winds up becoming entangled with her in a far more sinister way. Featuring scene-stealing supporting work from Edward G. Robinson and the chiaroscuro of cinematographer John F. Seitz, Double Indemnity is one of the most entertainingly perverse stories ever told and the standard by which all noir must be measured.

Estimated runtime: 108 min.

NOIRVEMBER: Sunset Boulevard

November 16, 2025 | 1PM

Presented in Whiteman Hall

TICKETS: Free for Members | Included in General Admission*

*Ticket price includes General Admission to Museum

Gloria Swanson, as Norma Desmond, an aging silent-film queen, and William Holden, as Joe Gillis the struggling young screenwriter who is held in thrall by her madness, created two of the screen’s most memorable characters in Sunset Boulevard. Winner of three Academy Awards®, director Billy Wilder’s powerful orchestration of the bizarre tale is a true cinematic classic. From the unforgettable opening sequence through the inevitable unfolding of tragic destiny, Sunset Boulevard is the definitive statement on the dark and desperate side of Hollywood.

Estimated runtime: 110 min.

NOIRVEMBER: The Killing

November 19, 2025 | 6PM

Presented in Whiteman Hall

TICKETS: Free for Members | $8 for the General Public

Stanley Kubrick’s account of an ambitious racetrack robbery is one of Hollywood’s tautest, twistiest noirs. Aided by a radically time-shuffling narrative, razor-sharp dialogue from pulp novelist Jim Thompson, and a phenomenal cast of character actors, including Sterling Hayden, Coleen Gray, Timothy Carey, Elisha Cook Jr., and Marie Windsor, The Killing is both a jaunty thriller and a cold-blooded punch to the gut. And with its precise tracking shots and gratifying sense of irony, it’s Kubrick to the core.

Estimated runtime: 94 min.

NOIRVEMBER: The Maltese Falcon

November 22, 2025 | 1PM

Presented in Whiteman Hall

TICKETS: Free for Members | Included in General Admission*

*Ticket price includes General Admission to Museum

Based on best-selling crime author Dashiell Hammett’s novel, it was nominated for three Academy Awards®, including Best Picture and Screenplay. Recently selected as one of the top 25 American films of all time by the prestigious American Film Institute.

Estimate runtime: 100 min..
