Celebrating St. Patty on the Ides of March

March 16, 2017 Every Show JoeAndy Warpigs, Arizona, Bloody Rogue Bastards, Celtic, Celtic Punk, Folk Punk, Punk, Rugged Rogues, Tempe, Whiskey and the Barrels, Yucca Tap Room

It is never too early to start drinking. That seems a good mantra to apply to any day, but, in addition, to starting to celebrate St. Patty’s Day. While two days off, it didn’t keep some of our best Celtic bands from putting together a show over at the Yucca Tap Room. I can say it was a lot of fun, and a little confusing to start off. The band that had me scratching my head a little was the Rugged Rogues. These guys certainly dressed the part with kilts…

What is a Genre?

March 13, 2017 Every Show JoeActive Bird Community, Alternative, Alternative Rock, Arizona, Celebration Guns, Emo, Indie Rock, Owen, Phoenix, Rebel Lounge

I have had two discussions on what real Emo music is, and both times have been at Rebel Lounge this year. They have also occurred when I was catching a band or musician in a band that is Emo appropriately. While appropriate to describe Owen, and Mike Kinsella, I will stick to my guns that our two openers are not in that category. However, all of the music tonight was great. It kicked off with Celebration Guns, who I so far have lived up to my word to see more…

Indeed, Viva PHX

March 12, 2017March 12, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, Crescent Ballroom, Fucked Up, Jeff Rosenstock, Joyce Manor, PAO, Phoenix, Phoenix Afrobeat Orchestra, Phoenix Masonic Temple, Rozwell Kid, The Menzingers, Viva PHX, X

I’ve been going to Viva PHX since it started. I think it is hands down, the best music festival that is put on in the Phoenix area all four years. The price proposition to the amazing amount of great music in about twenty places certainly contributes to it. That is in addition to that I love it more due to the atmosphere of music around downtown Phoenix. Viva PHX is the hearing music bouncing through alleys and off buildings walking through downtown Phoenix. This year was no different, just bouncing…

An Anniversary for Local Music

March 11, 2017March 11, 2017 Every Show JoeAcoustic, Alternative, Alternative Rock, Arizona, Jane 'N The Jungle, KWSS, Manic Monkeys, Pho Cao, Rock, RUCA, Sara Robinson Band, Scottsdale, The Pleasure Victims, Upsahl

Last night was like a show I used to see at Sail Inn. Made up of amazing musicians, some of the best female vocals, and watched Sara Robinson sing at Sail Inn before too. Tonight these super talented musicians and bands came out in celebration of Dani’s ten years with KWSS. It was a celebration and thank you for getting some great local music in front of people in the valley. The night opened up with the talented RUCA. This is going to be sentiments echoed a lot through this,…

The Celts From Down Under

March 9, 2017March 9, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, Celtic Punk, Cockswain, Phoenix, Punk, The Rumjacks, Valley Bar

I love it when I get to throw a band in front of everyone on here that I’ve been aiming for more attention for a while. Tonight was a shorter show with just two bands. Although after getting up earlier for a Dentist appointment, my body was perfectly fine with a shorter night. This show brought us the Rumjacks all the way from Australia, plus our local band of energy, Cockswain. First, this is where I embarrass my drunken judgement skills with a fun St. Patty’s Day story seeing Cockswain.…

A Night of Punk To Remember

March 5, 2017March 6, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, Bricktop, Club Red, Fatskins, Mesa, Punk, Rile 9 Collective, Sniper 66, Starving Wolves, The Besmirchers, Unstable Youth

Punk rock is my favorite genre. Shows like the one tonight are what remind me why I love the genre so much. So I want to celebrate that in this, so I’m only going to spend a sentence on why I do not like going to Club Red. What transpired with the ownership after Kim Commons passed, and how friends that used to work there were pushed out is the reason I do not want to give them money or attention. With that, last night was one of the best…

A Return to the Trunk Space

March 4, 2017March 4, 2017 Every Show JoeAhllha, Alternative, Alternative Rock, Arizona, Fathers Day, Indie Rock, Mooseknuckle Sandwich, Phoenix, Punk, Trunk Space, Yairms

There are some people in the Phoenix music scene that have had amazing impacts on it. One of those people is Ryan Avery, who I think in the mind of most people, he is a person that it is hard not to associate the Trunk Space with. He was one of the hardest working performers for the past couple Indie 500 events, performing in multiple bands of his creation. So when Ryan said he and his wife were moving to L.A. about a year ago, it was a blow to…

The Only Way to Celebrate Is With Hard Punk Rock

March 3, 2017October 19, 2017 Every Show JoeAnti-Vision, Arizona, Common Tongue, Molotov Cockroach, Punk, Sector 7-G, Tempe, Time Out Lounge

Passions are what make life worth it. Tonight was a night of two of my biggest passions happening nearly the same time, music and videogames. I love them so much that they are the two things tattooed on me. When I saw set times, I was like, this will perfectly work out. Of course, on punk rock time means there is going to be sets later than planned. That’s fine, because I actually had issues tearing myself away from watching Common Tongue’s set to pick up the Nintendo Switch. Before…
