Come For A Pair of Bands, Get a Pair More

July 15, 2019July 24, 2019 Every Show JoeAlternative Rock, Arizona, Folk, Heart Attack Man, Indie Rock, Phoenix, Pop Punk, Punk, Rebel Lounge, Rome Hero Foxes, Sincere Engineer, Troubled Minds

There are musicians from the first song you know that you just want to keep listening to after. On a tour last year with Lawrence Arms and Red City Radio, there was a solo musician called Sincere Engineer. She came out with not only catchy and well written verses, but an honest stage presence that played well with the Phoenix crowd. She is one of those musicians that you look forward to catching once you’ve heard her. This time around she brought her full band alongside co-headliners Heart Attack Man,…

Artist Spotlight: The Maybe Next Years

July 8, 2019July 8, 2019 Every Show JoeAlternative Rock, Arizona, Phoenix, Punk, Rebel Lounge, The Maybe Next Years

On the newest Artist Spotlight, I highlight one of the newer members of the Phoenix Punk scene, The Maybe Next Years. It is a band that I actually first watched a pair of the members in other bands. For one, Davey I first watched in the band the Darling Sounds. That was a slower tempo band, a little indie and alternative rock. He apparently had energy and enthusiasm he was holding back until The Maybe Next Years. Then there is Sage, who I first caught in her other band Dwarf.…

Among Friends

June 15, 2019June 15, 2019 Every Show JoeArizona, Ass Wipe Junkies, Birth of Monsters, Phoenix, Punk, Rips Bar, Sniper 66, TV Tragedy

For the six years I’ve been heading to Punk Rock Bowling, there has been the added benefit of bands passing through Phoenix the Tuesday I’m back. This year was different with no punk show to run out to when I got home on Tuesday. However, we did have the benefit of Sniper 66 passing through one day later. On the bill were a few local favorites, Birth of Monsters, most of Ass Wipe Junkies, and TV Tragedy. The openers would be the high energy, high enthusiasm Birth of Monsters. These…

Enthusiasm from Abroad

May 22, 2019May 22, 2019 Every Show JoeAlternative Rock, Americana, Arizona, Bluegrass, Country, Fairy Bones, Folk, Lost in the Sun, Phoenix, Rebel Lounge, Rock, Skinny Lister

Perspective is a point of view. With a camera, the lens or lenses you use have the possibility to give you a change on your perspective. For this night, I challenged myself to only use the 85mm lens. When shooting pictures in a festival, like the Bash recently, it is a perfect way to get those closer shots on the big stage. In a smaller venue, such as the Rebel Lounge, it forces me to tackle my shots and angles in different ways and positions. Skinny Lister back in town…

Photo Gallery: Sore Eyes, Sad Dance Party

May 21, 2019May 21, 2019 Every Show JoeAcoustic, Punk, Sad Dance Party, Sore Eyes, Still Drunk Still

A small update with this one makes it a perfect photo gallery post. The evening after taking pictures for a friend’s wedding, I swung by Sore Eyes’ house show celebrating the year anniversary since “It’s A Party, Why Not?” I snapped a couple shots of Sore Eyes, Sad Dance Party, and even two with Still Drunk Still singing with Sam. There is no reason they should go without being posted, so here you go!

One Hell of a Bash

The amount of music festivals popping up over the past couple years has grown exponentially. A few stationary ones continue to grow, such as The Fest and Punk Rock Bowling. Meanwhile, the format of craft brew tasting mixed with music from a few of your favorite bands has begun to be the predominant model for the newer ones. This year in the stead of the annual Sabroso festival, Arizona and Phoenix residents were treated to the first ever Bash Festival headlined by Rancid. Joining them for this stop was the…

Mobility and Energy

Mobility and movement will grab the attention of those seeing it from the corner of their eyes. It is a way to release and use energy. For musicians, a lot of it is energy they feed off from performing music and the audience members. It would be the theme of a most of these musicians on this night from Pointbreak to Death by Stereo. The lineup was packed, with Life and Limb, Elvis Cortez, the Venomous Pinks, and Toxic Energy four more bands playing this Friday night at the Yucca…

Artist Spotlight: Broloaf

May 10, 2019May 10, 2019 Every Show JoeArizona, Broloaf, Hardcore Punk, Punk, Rogue Bar, Scottsdale

In this artist spotlight, it is one that occasionally brings their own spotlight since I found them, Broloaf. They are a band put together by random chance for a contest. Lucky for us, they decided after the competition to keep these members together to continue spreading the fun. Broloaf is a band with East Coast Hardcore influence and WWE flair. They write songs mocking the bro culture to the style of that genre. Well performed, as the music experience and talent of the band members shines at any given performance.…

Hot Pockets and A Farewell

May 9, 2019May 9, 2019 Every Show JoeAlternative Rock, American Standards, Bonzalez, Hardcore, Hardcore Punk, MRCH, New Wave, Playboy Manbaby, Punk, Trunk Space

As life goes on, we continue to grow and change. Our interests jump around and with that we tend to make changes to adapt. With bands, that sometimes ends up the case too. When a member of a favorite band decides it is time to make that kind of change. This night was part that, as Mitch performed on drums for the last time with a band I discovered thanks to him, American Standards. Of course, anytime you pair their energy with that of Playboy Manbaby it’s going to be…

Sweet Discoveries

Despite what a few people might think, there are bands out there I have yet to discover. For one, there are bands always popping up while others end for one reason or another. I suppose you would refer to it as the ebb and flow of the music scene. In the case of this night at the Lunchbox, I returned to catch a band with no social media presence and one with that I had seen before. With them I found two local bands I had never seen. The musicians…
