Flogging Molly Returns With Violent Femmes To Mesa!

October 11, 2021October 11, 2021 Every Show JoeAdolescents, Arizona, Bad Cop Bad Cop, Celtic Punk, CJ Ramone, Flogging Molly, Folk Music, Folk Punk, Garage Rock, Indie Rock, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Mesa, Mesa Amphitheatre, The Damned, Thick, Violent Femmes

Sometimes you know you miss things, but until they are before your eyes you don’t realize how much you missed them. When it came to the tour with Violent Femmes and Flogging Molly, a pair of them in the form of Me First and the Gimme Gimmes and Flogging Molly brought out that exact feeling for me. However, that was in part because I had never seen Thick or Violent Femmes before. I was in for a treat with the four combined this Friday night. Our openers were a band…

Punk Rock Bowling 2021: Day 0 and 1

October 7, 2021October 7, 2021 Every Show JoeAnti-Flag, Bad Cop Bad Cop, Descendents, Dilliinger Four, Folk Music, Frank Turner, Fremont Country Club, Garage Rock, Get Dead, Jerk, Las Vegas, Make War, PEARS, Pegboy, Punk, Punk Rock, Punk Rock Bowling, Ska, Ska Punk, Strung Out, Suicide Machines, Teenage Bottlerocket, The Darts, The Linecutters, The Run Around, The Uppers

Turns out there are ways to make two and a half years feel like forever. Of course, the idiot in the White House spewing nonsense daily was a regular attack on our mental well being. Then in 2020, our favorite musicians touring and festivals came to a grinding for the safety of one another with Covid 19 on the spread. Those of us being morons about wearing masks and keeping quarantined had a year and a half of streams by those same artists and a few of the festivals, including…

Double the Party, Four Times the Show!

August 7, 2019August 7, 2019 Every Show JoeArizona, Bad Cop Bad Cop, Dog Party, Garage Rock, Indie Rock, Phoenix, Pity Party, Punk, Rebel Lounge, Venomous Pinks

Merriam-Webster defines party as a social gathering. For many, that is how most would define a concert or show. You could literally say we have double the party with both Pity Party and Dog Party on night’s bill. This is probably an obvious joke that has run its course over the time of their tour with Bad Cop/Bad Cop. No matter, it makes for a nice attention getter to talk about their stop in Phoenix with the added awesomeness of our local Venomous Pinks. Opening up was our local women,…

Best Albums of 2017: The Nationals Edition

January 5, 2018January 5, 2018 Every Show JoeAlestorm, Anti-Flag, Authority Zero, Bad Cop Bad Cop, Best Of 2017, Direct Hit, Fare Game, Flogging Molly, Matamoska, PEARS, Propaghandi, Redneck Nosferatu, Rozwell Kid, The Bombpops, The Bronx, The Lillingtons, The Menzingers

While the locals list is certainly the more special list to me, that national list is a good glimpse into my personal taste. The national list of favorites I expanded to fifteen to include bands that aren’t local, but would be considered local if I did live in their city. There was certainly a couple that I felt blended in and beat a few of the national acts. So with that in mind, let’s go down the list from fifteen to my favorite album of 2017. Side note, a couple…

The Stars Aligned

December 7, 2017December 7, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, Bad Cop Bad Cop, Club Red, Mesa, Propagandhi, Punk, RVIVR

Many of us have a bucket list for a specific hobby or just life in general. It is a list of things you want to accomplish before you die. For music, over time I’ve grown a list of my own. There are a few likely impossible, and a few feasible. However, one that has been on mine for near a decade has been Propagandhi. To say that I was looking forward to this night would be an understatement. Add in the fantastic music that is Bad Cop/Bad Cop with the…

Warped Tour: Part One

July 10, 2017July 10, 2017 Every Show JoeAlternative, Alternative Rock, Arizona, Bad Cop Bad Cop, Barb Wire Dolls, Forget Your Friends, Phoenix, Playboy Manbaby, Punk, Strung Out, Valient Thorr, War on Women, Warped Tour

The amount of times I have gone to Warped Tour over the years is in the double digits. I have never gone for a full day in all these years until today. The triple digits routinely found here are the biggest reasons. However, armed with a photo pass for the first time and a ton of bands I didn’t want to miss, I made sure I was there at open. The only casualty was not glancing at the schedule to find our local girls in Doll Skin were a 1PM…

Punk Rock Bowling: Day 2

June 5, 2017June 5, 2017 Every Show JoeBad Cop Bad Cop, Iggy Pop, Las Vegas, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, OFF!, PEARS, Plague Vendor, Punk, Punk Rock Bowling, Ska, The Interrupters, The Lawrence Arms, The Spits

The first full day of Punk Rock Bowling is Saturday. You have your pool party shows, the main stage, and the club shows. You can find yourself going about fifteen hours a day on these days. For me, this was the settling in day. I ended up out there about three, when Plague Vendor started. With the Punk Rock Bowling write ups, I’m going to probably do more blurbs than my usual writing format. There is a lot of stuff to cover, and of course, some great pictures to check…

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…
