This Side of Buckeye

November 25, 2016November 25, 2016 Every Show JoeArizona, Guerilla Party, Interfate, marquee theatre, Phunk Junkeez, Tempe, Zoom

This night was a fulfillment of seeing one of the big local Phoenix bands when I was just finding music, listening to The Edge 106.3 in my car with my recently printed driver’s license. The Phunk Junkeez are self-described “alterna-rock rap hybrid.” I would put them in the alternative styles of the Rage Against the Machines and Limp Bizkits that were big or growing bigger in the mid-90’s. Also throw out a big thank you to JT Trick, who got me in and back stage for this show! We got…

The Monday Night Killer Trio

November 22, 2016November 22, 2016 Every Show JoeArizona, Bad Cop Bad Cop, Bowcat, Pub Rock, Scottsdale, The Interrupters

This show has been on my most anticipated list since I first heard Aimee Interrupter announce it at Warped Tour. How could a line up with both Bad Cop/Bad Cop and the Interrupters ever disappoint? It cannot, did not, and got even better with Bowcat added on top. If you’re wondering what Bowcat is, probably best to look up the band on its Bandcamp or Facebook page. A Google search may return other not friendly to a work environment results. This band since I started seeing them has just…

Fishbone With a Little Funk and Soul

November 20, 2016 Every Show JoeArizona, Aunt B, Dr. Delicious, Fishbone, Phoenix, Rebel Lounge

Here is a night I make the trek to the old Mason Jar, now known as the Rebel Lounge, to catch one of the best bands I’ve seen play outside of festival shows. When Fishbone is given their own show and set, they play one of the most fantastic sets I have seen any band play every time. If you’re a fan of any ska or reggae, you owe it to yourself to catch one of their shows. This night opened with the pleasant surprise of a local…

The Gypsy Punks

November 16, 2016November 22, 2016 Every Show JoeArizona, djderblaster, gogol bordello, marquee theatre, Tempe

This was a fantastic night of music! Well, other than it was off to a slow start. I don’t mind DJ’s, and they can be really engaging. However, opening up a show that many are out for a brand of rock and punk with forty minutes of a DJ can be a killer. It became a time of more continued socialization on my part. I glanced around the Marquee Theatre to see what looked like a lot of people disinterested or bored. I feel bad saying something bad about DJ…

In The Whale on this Punk Sunday

November 14, 2016November 22, 2016 Every Show JoeArizona, In The Whale, Skull Drug, Tempe, We Might Be Wasted, Yucca Tap Room

This night started after the Arizona Cardinals game, getting to Yucca early to chomp down their wings as a dinner and chat football with Eric and Nate of In the Whale. This was in addition to a discussion of which team do we dislike more on Sunday Night Football, the Seahawks or the Patriots. We didn’t come to any agreement, mine being a division rival with impartial feelings toward the Pats and theirs being an AFC rival of their Broncos. Then we drifted onto other topics, and had a blast…
