Celtic Punk – Page 2 – Every Show Joe

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.…

I’ve been listening and watching Authority Zero for nearly two decades now. My first album was Patches in Time, but my sixteen year old self was catching them on the Ska Punk Show before that. I can recite almost all the lyrics to any album released before I became a slave to the GameStop corporate machine in 2006. After that, I got pulled out of the scene for a few years only to hit an occasional bigger show. Attention and time unfortunately eaten by the salaried job. Even so, I…

Punk rock is a mentality that can be infused into anything. The guys in Piñata Protest are a group that demonstrates this. This band is a high energy infusion of Latin influences, like cumbia, into punk rock. Hopefully if there are people unaware of how awesome they are or that they are punk, this piece of writing about the show at Yucca will bring some people to go check them out next time they are in town. The show itself was an assortment of punk, kicking off with Andy Warpig’s…

A Wedding Punk-iversary

December 21, 2016December 21, 2016 Every Show JoeArizona, Celtic Punk, Jack the Cat, Punk, Skull Drug, Tempe, We Might Be Wasted, Whiskey and the Barrels, Yucca Tap Room

Twenty Five years is a long time, and an amazing achievement. Tonight’s show was a celebration of two good friends, Barry and Isabel, celebrating twenty five years married. I did forget to ask what has made it work well for so long, but I have to imagine it is that punk rock spirit in it. Not only are they one of the most punk couples I know going to shows, they had a punk rock show with cake to celebrate those twenty five years instead of just a simple house…
