I’m moving the next two days, and packing the last week, so look for activity to ramp back up after this weekend! However, I did make sure to record this week’s Every Show Joe Says Go! last week to make sure it wasn’t missed! To add to it, the Slackers show includes Bowcat and Mind Upside. When I recorded, whatever I looked at didn’t list them yet. Hopefully you guys and gals will be out at shows the next week, plus hopefully I see you at one once I’m done…

No Trick For JT’s Birthday!

April 16, 2017 Every Show JoeAcoustic, Arizona, Bluegrass, Folk, Jimmy Roca, Johnny Lee, Josh Williams, Loops, Mesa, Rock, The Harp

Tonight was one of those nights about being with friends and celebrating a birthday. It just happens that JT has some super talented musical friends to celebrate with. Over the years he has been putting on great shows in Phoenix, helping get local musicians in front of the eyes and ears of more people. You can see the awesome cake that Kristin made for him too. Plus he is one of the tallest people I know. Let’s start this write up off with a Happy Birthday JT! Opening up the…

Neither Girls Nor Russians

April 14, 2017October 19, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, Bad Funk, Punk, Rock, Russian Girlfriends, Tempe, Time Out Lounge, Wax Castle

Music festivals tend to give you a great amount of music for your buck. However, they make it hard to catch every band and musician you came to see. Either they overlap parts of the set, or the entire set at times. Such was the case when I first saw Russian Girlfriends during the Rebel Riot. Sandwiched between the 2 Tone Lizard Kings and Broloaf, I only caught a portion jumping between the outdoor and indoor stages. Tonight was where I fulfilled catching a full set from the talented group…

Next week I move closer to Tempe and the music I go to, but still getting this one done. I may not be out as much because of it, but hope this helps you guys fill that void for me! I do plan to have one of these recorded for next week regardless! Hopefully I see you at a show!

The Ebb and Flow of Tuesday

April 12, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, Blood Feud Family Singers, Bluegrass, Celtic Punk, Flatfoot 56, Folk, Larry and His Flask, Punk, Punkgrass, Tempe, Yucca Tap Room

Blind purchases can lead to treasures and discoveries. Also, it can lead to a miserable Warped Tour 2011 with bands I just can’t stand listening to, like Gym Class Heroes and Devil Wears Prada. Of course, Less than Jake sits number two under NOFX on my all-time favorites to save that day, but I had to get to their set time with no reentry. While roaming around, and flipping off the Devil Wears Prada stage, I stumbled upon this band setting up with a standup bass. They had more facial…

Guitar Party Power, Confirmed!

April 11, 2017April 11, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, Bluegrass, Blues, Bog Log III, Country, Funk, Phoenix, Rock, Rock 'n Roll, Rythm Room, Shit Show Duo

Bob Log III is a musician I have somehow missed seeing. He comes from Tucson, so he is nearby and plays Phoenix often enough to catch. He was on a club show that I attended on the inside stage of the Bunkhouse, during Punk Rock Bowling. I somehow missed him then too. Not sure how I have avoided his performances, but tonight was the night to correct that wrong. The night opened with only a single opener, but with the awesome named, Shit Show Duo. This pair of hilarious guys…

Shut Up, Get Rad

April 10, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, Playboy Manbaby, Pub Rock, Punk, Scottsdale, Teenage Bottlerocket, The Mr. T Experience, The Nobodys

Teenage Bottlerocket I discovered later than many. Regardless, when I did, I fell in love with the music. I picked up the latest at the time, “Freak Out!” and then consumed all of the music I could find going into their back catalog. They played music that gave me an old school Ramones feeling, but with modern punk blended in. The lyrics touched upon topics of love, skaters, geeky stuff, and shitty customer service jobs that I related to in a heartbeat. Enjoying everything I was listening to, of course,…

The Pleasures of the Ears

April 4, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, Metal, Nashville Pussy, Old Fashion Assassin, Punk, Rock 'n Roll, Tempe, Yucca Tap Room, Zeke

Expanding on the bands and music that you listen to is one of the greatest pleasures. It lets you see and experience bands you may not have got out to see if you stuck to your bubble. On the flipside, it means you slowly build out a large music collection that gets harder to memorize all the lyrics within. Tonight was another one of those nights, experiencing Zeke for the first time. There was only one local on this show, and that was Old Fashion Assassin. The three piece are…

Bro, Don’t Call Me Bro

April 2, 2017April 2, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, Broloaf, Metal, Punk, Sanitation Squad, Sreamin Yeehaws, Tempe, Warheads, We Might Be Wasted, Yucca Tap Room

There is not quite a show like a Broloaf show. I could name it that because of the presentation. The confetti, the beer bongs, and the story skits they put on through any given show. Though actually, it includes the bands that are booked with them. I find myself seeing fantastic bands, not always of the punk genre, playing on the bill with Broloaf. This is what leaves me anticipating anytime Broloaf plays, with no exception tonight. No stranger to me or this site, We Might Be Wasted kicked off…
