The Bierman Band

June 19, 2017June 19, 2017 Every Show JoeAcoustic, Arizona, Country, Evan Berg, Josh Bierman, Josh Bierman Band, Rock, Scottsdale, The Boondocks

It would appear I know a lot of Gemini that love music. This time it was my friend, Josh Bierman, performing with his band for his birthday. He assembles a great amount of talent with him too. Some amazing drummers, some talented saxophonist, and Evan Berg sang some too. While nights like this are more covers, he manages to squeeze in some of his excellent originals. Though the covers his band plays show the scope and scale of his abilities to play a couple music genres. Take this one as…

Folk Punk Under the Stars

June 17, 2017June 17, 2017 Every Show JoeAcoustic, Arizona, Days 'n Daze, Diego Galvan, Folk Punk, Phoenix, Punk, sad kid, Travis James and the Acrimonious Assembly of Arsonists, Trunk Space, We the Heathens

A packed house is what the Days N Daze show brought to the Trunk Space. There was a lot of excitement going into this show for multiple reasons, including Diego Galvan and Travis James releasing their split. I haven’t been in attendance at the current Trunk Space location when this packed since it opened. They hit capacity for the normal space, but would accommodate all that stuck around and came back with Days ‘n Daze in the quad. This was a crazy and exciting night of music. Unfortunately because of…

A Broadcast of Passion

June 16, 2017June 16, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, Authority Zero, Ebinezer, Guttermouth, Howard Til Midnight, marquee theatre, Nomada, Punk, Reggae, Rock, Tempe, Torn at the Seam

“Broadcasting to the Nations” marks the six album release from Authority Zero on a label. Including prior independent releases that puts the notch up to eight. This marks nearly two decades of music from one of the few punk bands to come out of Phoenix with a following across the world. This release show brought one of my favorite punk bands, Guttermouth, to town alongside four local openers with more of a reggae and rock leaning. The first of the night’s lineup was Howard Til Midnight. These guys were the…

A Ska Mixer

June 13, 2017June 13, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, Brava, Jack the Cat, Ska, Skacore, Tempe, The Effects, Yucca Tap Room

Skacore is a term not found in the Phoenix scene. I first caught the genre outside of this city, when I went on a short tour in 2014 with the local band Nomada. They opened up for the River Ratts in a venue in Riverside. This was one of the craziest pits I’ve partaken in. Your instinct is to skank during the ska parts, but then the hardcore sections of the songs hit and you have yourself a mosh pit. Our headliners this night harken from that genre, sandwiched in…

Good Reasons To Be In Scottsdale

June 13, 2017June 13, 2020 Every Show JoeAcoustic, Alternative Rock, Arizona, Good Boy Daisy, Miles to Nowhere, Pop Punk, Punk, Scottsdale, Wasted Grain

I try not to be late to a show. Unfortunately, it sometimes happens. On the bright side I was able to catch two bands I enjoy. The first band I caught at the New Year’s Eve show in Gilbert for the first time. Our other was one of the first I was watching a few years ago when I started doing what got me the Every Show Joe nickname. The site of this awesome music was the Wasted Grain, my first visit to the old Martini Ranch location. That first…

What Punk Rock Bowling Hangover?

June 12, 2017June 12, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, Bad Funk, Lost In Society, Punk, Rock, Tempe, Time Out Lounge, Upstart 33, Working Mutts, Yucca Tap Room

What do you do after four days straight of punk rock? Go to more punk rock. Unlike my last three years of Punk Rock Bowling, this Tuesday had two awesome punk shows the night I returned. Over at the Yucca Tap Room, Booze & Glory passing through. Meanwhile, at Time Out Lounge the excellent guys of Lost in Society. I split my time between, catching the two awesome out of town openers at Yucca and made it in time for Lost in Society and Bad Funk at Time Out. Opening…

The Last Day Of Punk Rock Bowling 2017

The last day of Punk Rock Bowling turned into the one I knew most the prior three years. It would start with security check before entering the main stage. I was told my camera wouldn’t be allowed in. They didn’t stop me the prior two days, but it was deemed my camera was too professional with the security for today. I took it as this was the universe telling me to go enjoy Punk Rock Bowling the way it should be. By that, I mean that I drank for about…

Punk Rock Bowling: Day 3

June 8, 2017June 8, 2017 Every Show JoeBad Religion, Bouncing Souls, Celtic Punk, choking victim, Fidlar, Hepcat, Las Vegas, Left Alone, Lost In Society, Punk, Punk Rock Bowling, Ten Can Riot, The Dickies, The Real McKenzies, The Slackers, Venomous Pinks

Sunday was my longest day with a physical camera. Having not gone to bed until about 5 AM, I started my day at the main festival. Hearing that the pool parties at the new location were more of a headache to get in, seemed a little more sleep was a better idea to prepare. I opened up my day with the only band representing Phoenix on the main stage, the Venomous Pinks. A good amount of support congregated for their set from Phoenix, and then some more. They didn’t seem…

Punk Rock Bowling: Day 2

June 5, 2017June 5, 2017 Every Show JoeBad Cop Bad Cop, Iggy Pop, Las Vegas, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, OFF!, PEARS, Plague Vendor, Punk, Punk Rock Bowling, Ska, The Interrupters, The Lawrence Arms, The Spits

The first full day of Punk Rock Bowling is Saturday. You have your pool party shows, the main stage, and the club shows. You can find yourself going about fifteen hours a day on these days. For me, this was the settling in day. I ended up out there about three, when Plague Vendor started. With the Punk Rock Bowling write ups, I’m going to probably do more blurbs than my usual writing format. There is a lot of stuff to cover, and of course, some great pictures to check…

The Beginning of Punk Rock Bowling 2017

June 3, 2017May 25, 2020 Every Show JoeGet Dead, Las Vegas, Punk, Punk Rock Bowling, Street Dogs, The Crowd, The Linecutters, The Vandals

Punk Rock Bowling is the annual gathering of punks, and some rude boys, for about four days of music. That is not including the occasional Thursday night club show they have started doing in the last couple years. It has grown larger each year, now in three cities including Denver and Asbury Park. Punk Rock Bowling has been my carefree, getting drunk, and moshing around to music vacation four years running now. One of the greatest treats has been seeing friends in local scene and beyond making it to this…
