The Only Way to Celebrate Is With Hard Punk Rock

March 3, 2017October 19, 2017 Every Show JoeAnti-Vision, Arizona, Common Tongue, Molotov Cockroach, Punk, Sector 7-G, Tempe, Time Out Lounge

Passions are what make life worth it. Tonight was a night of two of my biggest passions happening nearly the same time, music and videogames. I love them so much that they are the two things tattooed on me. When I saw set times, I was like, this will perfectly work out. Of course, on punk rock time means there is going to be sets later than planned. That’s fine, because I actually had issues tearing myself away from watching Common Tongue’s set to pick up the Nintendo Switch. Before…

Local Punks Having Fun

March 1, 2017 Every Show Joe51 West, Arizona, Ass Wipe Junkies, Manoz Zuziaz, Punk, Tempe, The Otos

Sometimes things happen and plans change. Unfortunately for the show last night, our headliner had a band emergency and didn’t make it to 51 West. Hope things are better now and they can continue on the road. What did happen as result was an awesome local punk show with two bands I was catching for the first time and a surprise at the end. Up first were the Ass Wipe Junkies. They’d come recommended from a couple people, and I can see why. A mostly fast paced, punk rock set…

Theatrics and Fun Times Ahead

February 26, 2017April 21, 2023 Every Show JoeAlternative, Andy Warpigs, Arizona, Folk Punk Rock, Garage Rock, Genre, Indie Punk, Indie Rock, Phoenix, Playboy Manbaby, Punk, Tempe, The Bombpops, The Darts, The Thin Bloods, The Trunk Space, Trunk Space, Yucca Tap Room

I’m of two minds of set times being posted. First, and probably more unique to myself and a few others, having set times posted can help me figure out on busy nights like tonight a plan of attack to hit the music I want to see. However, I’m on the other mind where I’ve been at a show early with an amazing local band, and no one is there. This happens more often than I like to see, and if there is only a start time you get a couple…

Don’t Question Your Desire

February 25, 2017 Every Show Joe3Nations, Alternative, Alternative Rock, Arizona, Celebration Guns, Foresteater, Harper and the Moths, New Wave, Phoenix, Pop, Rebel Lounge, Rock

There is a lot great music in Phoenix. There are a lot of great venues with music in Phoenix. Busy nights of music like tonight bring out the math, because then I’m stuck trying to figure out where to go and hope not to upset anyone I miss. This website has amplified how I want to try to get everyone covered, and I still want to watch some of my favorites. It makes for tough decisions, but no matter the choice, I always catch some amazing music. For example, tonight…

Value Every Day

Always appreciate the time you are given and every day you get to enjoy life. The Steady 45s on their way into Phoenix unfortunately had an incident with a drunk driver, who rear ended their trailer into their van at around one hundred miles per hour. Luckily no one hurt, but unfortunately their trailer was taken down completely with their equipment. So at the top of this, if you have a little to spare head over to the GoFundMe set up to help them as they are only a couple…

The Best Solution for a Rainy Night

February 20, 2017 Every Show Joe80D, Arizona, Punk, Reason Unknown, Tempe, The Generators, The Tribulators, We Might Be Wasted, Yucca Tap Room

Rain in this city usually does two things, show how bad our local driving etiquette and keep people indoors for the time water falls from the sky. It was the perfect time to have a punk show. Yucca played host to the Generators from California and the Tribulators making the trek up from Tucson plus our solid local bands. Right at the top of it was Reason Unknown. These political punks warmed up the crowd. Travis and Pat sing lead vocals dependent on the song. They contribute to the great…

Bring An Open Mind

Always keep an open mind, as it will bring with it awesome things you would have never experienced. Tonight was a case of that, with a lot of people telling me how amazing A.F.I. can be live and that I must see them at least once. Like probably a lot of punk fans I know, I haven’t purchased an album from them since Sing the Sorrows. However, watching them perform tonight showed me what amazing musicians they are, including some of the newer stuff I was just hearing for the…

The Perfect Example

February 17, 2017February 17, 2017 Every Show Joe2 Tone Lizard Kings, Arizona, Bowcat, Mustard Plug, Rock 'n Roll, Ska, Surf Rock, Tempe, The Phenomenauts, The Rebel Set, Yucca Tap Room

People should be dancing and skanking at a ska show. This was not the case for the majority two nights ago, and it was frustrating. Tonight, people came to move, dance, and sing with the bands from start to finish. There was always at least one person dancing around to every band, and it was awesome. If there is an example of a great show with some amazing touring and local acts, this is a good model to look at. Opening up was our local ska band who has been…
