Putting the BBQ In Punk Rock

July 29, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, Ass Wipe Junkies, Bowcat, Celtic Punk, Era of Extinction, Killer Neighbors, Kiwanis Park, Punk, Ska, Tempe, The Industry, Whiskey and the Barrels, Working Mutts

The Fourth of July bring out your usual patriotism and fireworks. For me, and a lot in the Phoenix punk scene, it brings other fantastic traditions and get-togethers. The annual Pre-Independence Day Barbeque is one of those amazing events. This is put on by Bo, of the Industry, and his wife Marcia, of Bowcat, alongside a bunch of their punk musicians and friends. I started attending them about three years ago. I have had a blast and made new friends at every one of them. This year mine kicked off…

Punk, Punk, and More Punk

July 25, 2017May 21, 2020 Every Show JoeArizona, Creepsville 666, Psychobilly, Punk, Rockabilly, Shovel, Some Kind of Nightmare, Tempe, Venomous Pinks, Year of the Fist, Yucca Tap Room

It was a night that brought together friends from everywhere. Our usual scene of friends joined by those we love when they come to town. For me there was new music and friends to meet with Year of the Fist too. This midweek show was one of the reasons I wish I didn’t have work the next day. This night at the Yucca Tap Room was five bands of significant energy, character and fantastic music. The guys of Creepsville 666, who are becoming a regular attraction on this site, opened…

A Trio of Terrific Music

July 20, 2017July 20, 2017 Every Show JoeAcoustic, Arizona, Folk, Jenny Owen Youngs, marquee theatre, Ogikubo Station, Ska, Streetlight Manifesto, Tempe

There are some bands that you are guaranteed to see some amazing music every tour they have. Streetlight Manifesto is just one of those bands. You could say they are bedfellows with some legends of Ska and talented solo acts. Over the years they have introduced me to acts like Sycamore Smith and Dan Potthast’s solo work. Their own music puts them atop the upper echelon of my favorite bands. Without worry, a tour with Ogikubo Station, Jenny Owen Youngs, and Streetlight Manifesto was going to be a blast. …

After a full day of Warped Tour, would you go on to do two days of two shows? Some people may say no. For me, the answer is a yes. This may be how I earned the nickname that spawned this site. Although with it being a Saturday, I got a full night’s rest. I would start over at the Marquee Theatre and end my music adventure between three spaces in the Yucca Tap Room center. Up first was the big reason I was at the Marquee, to watch the…

Sugar, Spice, and a Dash of Punk

July 18, 2017 Every Show JoeAlternative, Alternative Rock, Arizona, Beachwood Coyotes, Burgandy Jurk, Fairy Bones, Harper and the Moths, Hollowpoint Vigils, Indie Rock, New Wave, Phoenix, Punk, Rebel Lounge, Tempe, The Real Fits, Time Out Lounge

What do you do after spending about ten hours out at a Warped Tour in Phoenix? If you’re me, you take the day off to rest and go out to music the next night. Plus given Harper and the Moths are taking time off to put toward a new album, the Real Fits show was on the top of my radar. The night opened on a fantastic touring band, then flowed into great local acts across two air-conditioned venues. That touring act would be Beachwood Coyotes from L.A. These awesome…

Warped Tour: Part Two

July 13, 2017July 13, 2017 Every Show JoeAlestorm, Arizona, Metal, Municipal Waste, Phoenix, Punk, Ska, Sonic Boom Six, The Adolescents, The Ataris, The Dickies, Warped Tour

Onto part two of the longest time I’ve spent attending a Warped Tour in over a decade of going. This brings with it a band that brought controversy after the Phoenix stop, two bands from across a body of water, and a whole lot of energy across the entire six. This is part two of an amazing day of music and one of the best Warped Tours for me in a few years. Starting off right where I left off in part 1, we come to the Dickies. They are…

Warped Tour: Part One

The amount of times I have gone to Warped Tour over the years is in the double digits. I have never gone for a full day in all these years until today. The triple digits routinely found here are the biggest reasons. However, armed with a photo pass for the first time and a ton of bands I didn’t want to miss, I made sure I was there at open. The only casualty was not glancing at the schedule to find our local girls in Doll Skin were a 1PM…
