The Menzingers At A Sold Out Crescent

May 5, 2022May 5, 2022 Every Show JoeArizona, Crescent Ballroom, Emo, Indie Punk, Indie Rock, Oso Oso, Phoenix, Punk, Punk Rock, Sincere Engineer, The Menzingers

There is never a set time or age to self-reflect. You can do it at any time when you are collecting your thoughts. To think back on things that have come and adventures that have been. This was especially present in the past two years with the idle time of concerts and activities. Another place that it occurred was when The Menzingers released After the Party, reflecting on their twenties from their thirties. It was an album that hit perfectly for me being in that similar spot and age range…

Noogy Under The Moonlight

April 24, 2022April 24, 2022 Every Show JoeArizona, Ass Wipe Junkies, Ground Zero, Horror Punk, Noogy, Phoenix, Punk, Punk Rock, Rejected Monsters, Standing at the Back

D.I.Y., “Do It Yourself”, venues bring out a few of the most creative spots I’ve watched music and a conducive environment for it. Over the years there have been a few that pop up and disappear around Phoenix. More recently we’ve had the Rats Ass and Krusty Palmz. Now the Krusty Palmz legacy moves into Ground Zero, run by the same people. This was the setting for Noogy’s latest visit to the desert with the local Standing at the Back, Ass Wipe Junkies and Rejected Monsters. Up first was one…

Beach Bunny’s Return

April 20, 2022April 20, 2022 Every Show JoeAlternative Rock, Beach Bunny, Country, Electronic, Indie Rock, Ky Voss, nile theater, Pop Music, Wednesday

If you are not a local band, it is a special treat to get to see one of your favorite touring bands twice in a half year span. Albeit, it has happened once already in the last year for me with Lagwagon who played two shows of two different albums and returned for Punk In Drublic, but that is a less common occurrence. This time around the special occasion was Beach Bunny returning for a bigger room in the Nile and with another set of cool touring musicians with Ky…

Schaffer the Darklord’s Headlining Night

April 11, 2022April 12, 2022 Every Show JoeArizona, Hip Hop, Last Exit Live, Lex the Lexicon Artist, Nerdcore, Nerdcore Hip Hop, Phoenix, Pop Music, Rap, Schaffer the Darklord, STD, Super Smack and the P.O.P.

During 2020 and into 2021 musicians performing livestreams were the place where many of our favorite musicians went. They were my go-to for catching music while safely quarantining at home. One of my regular streams was the monthly Four Eyed Horsemen streams. I could always depend on the four staples of it, Schaffer the Darklord, Mega Ran, MC Frontalot, and MC Lars, to perform once a month through that time. They always brought on a guest to open and for one of those was my first time watching and hearing…

Lars Frederiksen Plays It Solo

March 31, 2022March 31, 2022 Every Show JoeComedy, Cris Powerhouse, Joe Sib, Lars Frederiksen, Old Firm Casuals, Oxley's Midnight Runners, Punk, Punk Rock, Rancid

There are artists that every time you see them is a bundle deal, always with one of their bands. That while some artists splinter off or do the solo thing as a side project, a lot just love doing it most with the family they call a band. Lars Frederiksen is one of those artists I’ve always seen in a band setting, whether it be with Rancid, Old Firm Casuals, or Oxley’s Midnight Runners. However, this year he has put together a tour going solo with a couple friends. This…

Teenage Halloween Comes to Arizona

March 27, 2022March 31, 2022 Every Show JoeAcoustic, Alternative Rock, Arizona, Folk Music, Groundworks, Indie Rock, Moon Nite, New Misphoria, Punk, Punk Rock, Teenage Halloween, Tucson, Yipee!

While we have mourned a few of our favorite venues close over the past couple years, the good news is we are seeing birth of new venues too. It is wonderful when that new space is one about giving all ages, any musical creation a place to play. The new space I refer to is the Groundworks in Tucson that opened this past November. They had Sean and Ben, of AJJ, headline the big inaugural show. Since then, they have regularly been hosting shows and art down there. While it…

Punk In Drublic Returns To Phoenix

March 23, 2022March 23, 2022 Every Show JoeArizona, Authority Zero, Bell Bank Park, Bouncing Souls, Lagwagon, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Mesa, NOFX, Punk, Punk in Drublic, Punk Rock, Reggae Rock, Rock 'n Roll, Ska, The Last Gang, Venomous Pinks, Winterhaven

1994 was an important year in the resurgence of a punk rock that had gone back underground the latter half of the eighties. It marked a couple seminal albums released that year, including Green Day’s Dookie, Bad Religion’s Stranger Than Fiction and Offspring’s Smash. Another one of those big albums was NOFX’s Punk In Drublic. In the time since its release, the album has crossed the one million threshold and stands a fan favorite in punk circles. Beginning in 2017, it became the name of a punk rock and craft…

Rhythm Room Rocks With Dave Hause and the Mermaid

March 15, 2022March 15, 2022 Every Show JoeAmericana, Arizona, Country, Dave Hause and the Mermaid, Folk Music, Folk Rock, Phoenix, Rhythm Room, Rock Music, Wheelwright, Will Hoge

There are artists that transcend genre. They start in one we love the most or hold dear enough. Though as they grow as musicians they branch further into others. One of those musicians is Dave Hause, who I know from punk rock origins with The Loved Ones and later The Falcon and All Brights. With his solo work, he has branched out further to showcase folk rock skills. This night brought him back to Phoenix with those skills. His band Dave Hause and the Mermaid with the talented Will Hoge…

I’m back on pushing blind discoveries are exactly why you try to make it at the beginning and stay to the very end of a show. If you read my prior M3F coverage, you already know that was a bucket load of seeing rad new musicians for me recently. That is continuing as I came out for the Aquadolls in their co-headlining tour with Sitting On Stacy and their cool openers in Hoity Toity. Both latter bands I’d never seen or heard before. Let me tell you, all of them…

Different City, Same Skatercon

They say a change of scenery can do you well. For Skatercon 6, that meant heading to an entirely different city for the first time in Tucson. The five past prior ones have all been held in Phoenix. This time, we were about an hour and a half south with Mt. Lemmon in our backdrop at Santa Rita Skatepark. Skatercon in a different city did what it does best loaded with bands and skaters, local and touring. A little bit of technical issues playing into it made our Phoenix local…
