The Celts From Down Under

March 9, 2017March 9, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, Celtic Punk, Cockswain, Phoenix, Punk, The Rumjacks, Valley Bar

I love it when I get to throw a band in front of everyone on here that I’ve been aiming for more attention for a while. Tonight was a shorter show with just two bands. Although after getting up earlier for a Dentist appointment, my body was perfectly fine with a shorter night. This show brought us the Rumjacks all the way from Australia, plus our local band of energy, Cockswain. First, this is where I embarrass my drunken judgement skills with a fun St. Patty’s Day story seeing Cockswain.…

A Night of Punk To Remember

March 5, 2017March 6, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, Bricktop, Club Red, Fatskins, Mesa, Punk, Rile 9 Collective, Sniper 66, Starving Wolves, The Besmirchers, Unstable Youth

Punk rock is my favorite genre. Shows like the one tonight are what remind me why I love the genre so much. So I want to celebrate that in this, so I’m only going to spend a sentence on why I do not like going to Club Red. What transpired with the ownership after Kim Commons passed, and how friends that used to work there were pushed out is the reason I do not want to give them money or attention. With that, last night was one of the best…

A Return to the Trunk Space

March 4, 2017March 4, 2017 Every Show JoeAhllha, Alternative, Alternative Rock, Arizona, Fathers Day, Indie Rock, Mooseknuckle Sandwich, Phoenix, Punk, Trunk Space, Yairms

There are some people in the Phoenix music scene that have had amazing impacts on it. One of those people is Ryan Avery, who I think in the mind of most people, he is a person that it is hard not to associate the Trunk Space with. He was one of the hardest working performers for the past couple Indie 500 events, performing in multiple bands of his creation. So when Ryan said he and his wife were moving to L.A. about a year ago, it was a blow to…

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

February 22, 2017April 21, 2023 Every Show JoeArizona, Keith Okie and Rebel Sol, Liam and the Ladies, Mr Incommunicado, Phoenix, Reggae, Ska, The Bandulus, The Steady 45s, The Trunk Space, Trunk Space

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

February 18, 2017February 18, 2017 Every Show JoeA.F.I., Alternative, Alternative Rock, Arizona, marquee theatre, NEATO, Nothing, Pride Through Strife, PTS, Punk, Reggae, Rock, Shady Park, Souvenirs, Tempe

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…
