You never know how long an endeavor is going to last. If it is something you are passionate about, you hope the rest of your life. It is why you celebrate each moment as the things that matter to you hit significant benchmarks. For 80/20 Records’ founder, Michael Zimmerlich, this year marks ten years of just that. It is ten years of him helping musicians get their music out there. I met him through one of my favorite locals that his label plays host to, Captain Squeegee. Then I kept…

Moving Music

March 2, 2018March 2, 2018 Every Show JoeAcoustic, Alternative, Alternative Rock, Arizona, Celtic Punk, Cockswain, Crescent Ballroom, Doll Skin, Fairy Bones, Folk, Garage Rock, Phoenix, Skinny Lister, Valley Bar, Will Varley

When I entered Friday, I already knew there was a tussle for where I should go watch music. However, when I got the email back that I could take pictures of Skinny Lister and Will Varley, I knew my starting point. These are two bands I fell in love watching when introduced to me through two separate Frank Turner tours. A week prior finding out our local Cockswain had been added as openers and I knew that show was going to deliver. Of course, Valley Bar shows start pretty early…

Goodbye My Friend…

February 25, 2018March 2, 2018 Every Show JoeBillie Russell, Contradiktion

It took me a little bit to find a way to put things out to words. I found there was no way I would make it through typing it out on my phone. I had to write it out this way. To be woken up to a message that I have lost one of my favorite people in our Phoenix punk scene was not how I expected my Sunday to start. Alas, we have lost Billie Russell, known to most here from the band Contradiktion. I sought out the earliest…

The Open Mic Night Surprise

February 20, 2018 Every Show Joe1967, Arizona, Indie Rock, Jaime Reynolds, Jason Messer, Rock, Tempe, The Struts, Yucca Tap Room

I’ve attended open mics time to time over the years. They bring out great and growing musicians. There were a few I became a regular for a while, including the one that gave me my first nickname of “Homemade Shaker Joe.” This was a night that my friend Jaime, of 1967, returned to Phoenix to visit and perform. I was going to relax after his little set, but a surprise showed itself later into the night. First, let us talk Jaime and 1967. He was once a resident of Phoenix…

The Message of Unity

February 4, 2018February 4, 2018 Every Show JoeAnti-Flag, Arizona, Club Red, Hardcore, Mesa, Punk, Sharptooth, Stray from the Path, The White Noise

This show was a different kind of line up for me. I don’t usually listen to a lot of hardcore punk. There are exceptions, with the fantastic PEARS and Tarter Control. But I usually just don’t get into the Hardcore punk. Enter a night where one of the highest ranking bands on my favorites list, Anti-Flag, comes to town with three of them in tow. If anyone this night made a case for another Hardcore band that I could get into, it was Sharptooth. This was a band with similar…
