Jeff Rosenstock And Friends At The Crescent Ballroom

January 12, 2022January 12, 2022 Every Show JoeAlternative Rock, Arizona, Crescent Ballroom, Folk Music, Garage Rock, Indie Punk, Indie Rock, Jeff Rosenstock, Oceanator, Phoenix, Ska, Ska Punk, Slaughter Beach Dog

There are artists that just invoke positivity. Not only in their performance, but in their day to day interactions and fans they inspire. You find the crowds in front of them are as supporting and happy as the artist they came to watch. Jeff Rosenstock is that kind of musician, regardless of the negative reflection of the world, albeit true, in his lyrics themselves. So throw in vaccination only requirements, to make people feel safe coming out, and the band themselves bringing Slaughter Beach, Dog and Oceanator with them to…

Doll Skin’s Hometown Show

December 24, 2021December 24, 2021 Every Show JoeAlternative Music, Alternative Rock, An Awful Mess, Arizona, Doll Skin, Emo, Phoenix, Pop Punk, Punk, Punk Rock, Rebel Lounge, Rio Wiley, Winterhaven

There are shows you circle on your calendar as must go. After the last year and a half, that has only further magnified those you miss seeing live and those you just have newly discovered. Doll Skin was of those I had circled from the moment it was announced. They are such an excellent band to watch live. For bonuses on the night, that would be getting to catch Winterhaven, An Awful Mess, and Rio Wiley additionally. Opening up was a bouncy and fun band called Winterhaven. This is the…

I Fight Dragons Back In Phoenix

November 20, 2021November 20, 2021 Every Show JoeAcne Superstar, Alternative Music, Alternative Rock, Badger Springs, Chiptune, I Fight Dragons, Indie Rock, Phoenix, Punk, Punk Rock, Rebel Lounge

Music is one of the biggest joys in life. It takes us on journeys about personal lives to where the societal changes need to happen. It goes down the roads of humor, but sometimes serious and direct. In the world these days, the bands that bring that positive joy are what we need most. I Fight Dragons fits that bill with music and motivating lyrics while an engaging on stage presence from all five members. Bolstering this bill was Acne Superstar and Badger Springs from right here in Phoenix. Up…

A Scott and Lo(u)ser In A Living Room

November 3, 2021November 3, 2021 Every Show JoeAlternative Rock, Arizona, Chris Graue, Folk Music, Littlest Man Band, Lo(u)ser, Phoenix, Reel Big Fish, Scott Klopfenstein, Ska

Occasionally really cool opportunities come to a town near you. Having the opportunity to see Scott Klopfenstein, a longtime member of Reel Big Fish and his own project that followed with the Littlest Man Band, just play a living room one Saturday evening is one of those very special opportunities. While I was at Punk Rock Bowling I saw Scott and Chris Graue announce on Twitter they’d be playing a backyard in Phoenix. I was excited just with a little matter of sorting out attending the day they came to…

An Acne Superstar Release

November 2, 2021November 2, 2021 Every Show JoeAcne Superstar, Alternative Rock, Arizona, Cheap Hotels, Emo, Garage Rock, Indie Rock, Phoenix, Pop Icons, Pop Punk, Punk, Punk Rock, Rebel Lounge, Troubled Minds

I’ve always thought if I had a couple million dollars, part of my goal would be to get a few local bands recorded and promoted out to the larger audience they deserve. One of the best examples of that would be Acne Superstar. This idea has roots in after the band took a little break from performing, when their lead singer, Nav, went to Florida for a summer. They played their first show after a couple months, once again standing out from the crowd that night. It had me questioning…

I’d Call This A Mega Tour

August 19, 2021August 19, 2021 Every Show JoeAlternative Rock, Arizona, Arizona Federal Theatre, Descendents, Phoenix, Punk, Punk Rock, Rise Against, The Menzingers

There are concert lineups you don’t know how they came together, but you are happy they did. One of the more surprising in the past couple years for me, but makes sense after a minute to think about it, was Reverend Horton Heat, Fishbone, and Strung Out. While not as genre crossing, another three big names I didn’t expect to tour together would be the one from this night with Rise Against, Descendents, and the Menzingers at the Arizona Federal Theatre. More surprising is trying to figure out who headlines…

May 27, 2021May 27, 2021 Every Show JoeAcoustic, Almond Eyes, Alternative Rock, Arizona, Electrisad, Folk Music, Kim Capria, Old Star, Phoenix, Rebel Lounge, Soft Blossom, The Banter

It’s been over a year since I last took pictures at a venue of live music. The past year and a couple months have presented drastic changes in the way life has been for all of us. Though now vaccinated and I carry my mask around too, I have been edging my way back into getting out to live music. The past year has created points of anxiety I had not anticipated or have experienced like this before. Heading out to the Rebel Lounge open mic has been helpful in…

Photo Gallery: The Adicts at the Marquee

March 11, 2020March 11, 2020 Every Show JoeAlternative Rock, Arizona, Corky's Leather Jacket, El Googly Diablo, marquee theatre, Punk, Starving Wolves, Tempe, The Adicts, Venomous Pinks

There are bands that just make the entire set a magical experience. For me, one of the best bands at this is the Adicts. Monkey’s flair and way for the theatrics with various props bring this. Add in the happy faces of Pete Dee to Kiki Kabel while performing to add to the joyous feeling brought out in any given set. For me, it was a top of the bucket list to get the chance to take pictures of one of my favorites in punk rock, The Adicts. Though speaking…
