Long Covid at Two Years

Every Show Joe, ,

I had hoped I would not be writing about this again after another year, but here we are reaching the two-year mark of my long Covid symptoms starting. Three days after that in 2022, I would be reading the positive Covid lab test through CVS and Sonora Quest. I never expected two of the symptoms, chronic fatigue and brain fog, would continue to be ongoing at this point. Since last year’s reflection on the first year of my Long Covid, there have been a lot of doctor appointments, tests and…

Jer Puts the Leap in Leap Day

Every Show Joe, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

A leap day only occurs once every four years. That would make it perhaps the most special day of the year. So, it is only appropriate that on this kind of special day we would have Jer making a tour stop at the Trunk Space. Joining them for this tour was Chicago favorites of mine, Devon Kay and the Solutions, and Suzie True, from the state next door. Not to mention, they called in the perfect local companion band, Spicy Mayo, to open it all up. If you want the…

Devon Kay and the Solutions Delightful Desert Stop

Every Show Joe, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Eclectic is defined as “composed of elements drawn from various sources.” It tends to be descriptions of the weather in Denver and my music tastes. Similarly, it can be used to describe the bill that assembled at Yucca Tap Room with Devon Kay and the Solutions. Just to touch on how eclectic it was, the night of music included the ska offerings of Bowcat, the punk funk of Okinawa Plane Crash, and the indie rock sounds of Celleste. The four of them combined with what I call the Indie Punk…

Long Covid at One Year

Every Show Joe, ,

It is now one year since I first felt the fatigue, thinking it might just be part of a light hangover. Three days after that, it was joined by sinus symptoms and a positive Covid test confirmed. A negative test on July 13th, but the fatigue continued. Twelve months is a long time to be stuck with a change in how one’s body works. That my constant feeling of weight under my eyes, brain fog when pushing through lighter activities too long and, what I started calling, that “brain melting”…

Apes of the State Down in the Underground

Every Show Joe, , , , , , , , , ,

Three years ago, things had ground to a halt as we worked to slow the spread of a newly discovered virus and waited for science to bring solutions while we tried to mitigate the worse of it. It meant we had a lot more time for finding music, whether it was new to you or just in general newly formed. Between the many livestreams that musicians had turned to and just looking at the “You may also like” sections of music services, it felt like I stumbled onto a treasure…

Looking Back: Teek Hall and Open Mike Eagle

Every Show Joe, , , , , , , , , , ,

Welcome to a potential series of post going through old concert photos that I may not have posted or perhaps were posted by only the artist previously. This is born out of long haul Covid, and the chronic fatigue it has caused me, continuing to handicap my ability to get out like I used to. So while stuck home more right now, I can highlight more of my favorite musicians I have managed to see live and capture that maybe not everyone saw the results of. In this case, I…

A Zona Night with AJJ and Veronica Everheart

Every Show Joe, , , , , , , , ,

They say the universe works in mysterious ways. If you’ve been following me, I’m on a now five-month journey of experiencing long Covid and chronic fatigue. So, about a month ago I received an email about doing possible photos for this show and responded if I felt better, I might be able to at this Zona Nights show. Zona Nights the name for club shows playing around the inaugural Zona Music Fest. I am not exactly feeling better, but last week I received an email saying I’m approved. I thought…

Making Twenty Five Look Magical

Every Show Joe, , , , , , , , , , , ,

There are life’s moments that are absolute in needing to celebrate. Moments that show how magical it is when two people come together and over the long stretch continue to show that magic. For two friends, Jason and Marla, this night at the Trunk Space was a celebration of their twenty fifth wedding anniversary. With their love of one another, the festivities brought that together with their love of local music. For the intimate occasion, they invited a few of their local favorites, Wallace Hound, Spicy Mayo, and this mysterious…

Photo Gallery: Overstand at the Beast

Every Show Joe, , , , , , ,

Last month I grabbed my camera and ran over to the Beast in Tempe to capture a band called Overstand. The Beast being the nickname for the venue that doubles as Cornish Pasty in Tempe. Overstand is an East Coast Hardcore influenced band made up veterans of the Phoenix punk scene. On lead vocals you got Ben Barnes of Broloaf and Eye Rake more recently. Over on bass, Roy Valencia of way too many to name including Broloaf. Todd Hamilton of Broloaf and North Side Kings over on the guitar.…
