Always appreciate the time you are given and every day you get to enjoy life. The Steady 45s on their way into Phoenix unfortunately had an incident with a drunk driver, who rear ended their trailer into their van at around one hundred miles per hour. Luckily no one hurt, but unfortunately their trailer was taken down completely with their equipment. So at the top of this, if you have a little to spare head over to the GoFundMe set up to help them as they are only a couple…

The Best Solution for a Rainy Night

February 20, 2017 Every Show Joe80D, Arizona, Punk, Reason Unknown, Tempe, The Generators, The Tribulators, We Might Be Wasted, Yucca Tap Room

Rain in this city usually does two things, show how bad our local driving etiquette and keep people indoors for the time water falls from the sky. It was the perfect time to have a punk show. Yucca played host to the Generators from California and the Tribulators making the trek up from Tucson plus our solid local bands. Right at the top of it was Reason Unknown. These political punks warmed up the crowd. Travis and Pat sing lead vocals dependent on the song. They contribute to the great…

Bring An Open Mind

February 18, 2017February 18, 2017 Every Show JoeA.F.I., Alternative, Alternative Rock, Arizona, marquee theatre, NEATO, Nothing, Pride Through Strife, PTS, Punk, Reggae, Rock, Shady Park, Souvenirs, Tempe

Always keep an open mind, as it will bring with it awesome things you would have never experienced. Tonight was a case of that, with a lot of people telling me how amazing A.F.I. can be live and that I must see them at least once. Like probably a lot of punk fans I know, I haven’t purchased an album from them since Sing the Sorrows. However, watching them perform tonight showed me what amazing musicians they are, including some of the newer stuff I was just hearing for the…

The Perfect Example

February 17, 2017February 17, 2017 Every Show Joe2 Tone Lizard Kings, Arizona, Bowcat, Mustard Plug, Rock 'n Roll, Ska, Surf Rock, Tempe, The Phenomenauts, The Rebel Set, Yucca Tap Room

People should be dancing and skanking at a ska show. This was not the case for the majority two nights ago, and it was frustrating. Tonight, people came to move, dance, and sing with the bands from start to finish. There was always at least one person dancing around to every band, and it was awesome. If there is an example of a great show with some amazing touring and local acts, this is a good model to look at. Opening up was our local ska band who has been…

The World Is New

February 16, 2017February 16, 2017 Every Show Joe2 Tone Lizard Kings, Alternative Rock, Arizona, Phoenix, Rebel Lounge, Save Ferris, Ska, Soul, Vista Kicks

When a band you listened to a bunch years ago announces they are coming back, that tends to get you excited. The one and only time I saw Save Ferris was in 1999 at the No Snow X-Mas Show. Back then, when you’re sixteen year old male and the lead singer talks about it being the “Year of the Vagina” you tend to pay attention. The band would break up a couple years after that, many of the former members forming Starpool. Flash forward to three years ago, the comeback…

Devote Your Life, No Boundaries

February 13, 2017February 13, 2017 Every Show JoeAlternative Rock, Arizona, Authority Zero, Bloody Rogue Bastards, Celtic Punk, Constellations, Hey Smith, Madd Dog Tannen, marquee theatre, Perfect Sense, Pho Cao, Punk, Reggae, Rundown Roommates, Scottsdale, Ska Punk, Tempe, Torn at the Seam

I’ve been listening and watching Authority Zero for nearly two decades now. My first album was Patches in Time, but my sixteen year old self was catching them on the Ska Punk Show before that. I can recite almost all the lyrics to any album released before I became a slave to the GameStop corporate machine in 2006. After that, I got pulled out of the scene for a few years only to hit an occasional bigger show. Attention and time unfortunately eaten by the salaried job. Even so, I…

I Love Livin’ in the City

February 11, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, Hobo Bastard, Jack the Cat, Krovak, Punk, Radical Fun Time, Ska, Ska Punk, Skull Drug, Tempe, Yucca Tap Room

A cool thing about these things is I get to bring bands to the forefront of people’s attention. I get to showcase bands I enjoy to see a lot. It creates an exercise in writing too, as I see bands more often trying to put different words into my take for the night. Tonight was a great night to see bands you don’t hear enough about from me that I think are fantastic, along with my usual staples of awesome local punk bands. Right off of the bat, I got…

The Folk Punks at the Trunk Space

February 10, 2017April 21, 2023 Every Show JoeAndy Warpigs, Arizona, Eli Kluger, Folk Punk, Mister Owl, Out of System Transfer, Phoenix, The Slackers Agenda, The Trunk Space, Trunk Space

The Trunk Space for over a decade has been one of the best DIY venues in Phoenix. When it was announced last year that they would be closing down the old space due to the landlord, the local scene took a hit. It had been there over a decade. What I loved about it was that it gave musicians a place to play that other venues wouldn’t always book. I knew going to a show there I would see great things and sometimes new, interesting performances too. Stephanie, who owns…
