That PHX Ska Punk Bowling!

October 8, 2018November 20, 2019 Every Show JoeCreepsville 666, Death By Stereo, Don Bolles, Epic 18, First or Last, FoL, JFA, Madd Dog Tannen, PCP, People Corrupting People, PHX Ska Punk Bowling, Psychobilly, Punk, Reason Unknown, Rockabilly, Ska, Ska Punk, The Dead Beat Hymns, The Devillains, The Germs, TV Tragedy, Yucca Tap Room

Twenty years ago there was a small festival that started up in Las Vegas as a couple of club shows. That festival gradually grew to become what everyone knows as Punk Rock Bowling. Five years ago, in a similar idea for the Phoenix scene, Andy Jones put on the first ever Phoenix Ska Punk Bowling. The goal was to bring together our local punk, ska, and rockabilly at an affordable price for a couple days. Each year brings a couple national headliners too, that first one included Teenage Bottlerocket, The…

Punk, Punk, and More Punk

July 25, 2017May 21, 2020 Every Show JoeArizona, Creepsville 666, Psychobilly, Punk, Rockabilly, Shovel, Some Kind of Nightmare, Tempe, Venomous Pinks, Year of the Fist, Yucca Tap Room

It was a night that brought together friends from everywhere. Our usual scene of friends joined by those we love when they come to town. For me there was new music and friends to meet with Year of the Fist too. This midweek show was one of the reasons I wish I didn’t have work the next day. This night at the Yucca Tap Room was five bands of significant energy, character and fantastic music. The guys of Creepsville 666, who are becoming a regular attraction on this site, opened…

There Was Cake

June 21, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, Creepsville 666, Ham, Psychobilly, Punk, Rockabilly, Skull Drug, Tempe, The Limit Club, We Might Be Wasted, Yucca Tap Room

I know a lot of Gemini that love music. The next of the June birthday shows was for my great friend Tommie. This one was packed full of friends in bands and her boyfriend, Donnie, opening up in We Might Be Wasted. Unfortunately, I was wrapping up the last of the Punk Rock Bowling pictures and arrived late. But knowing Donnie, I’m sure it was awesome. If it included that speedo again, then my eyes were spared something too. Since I arrived late, I ended up starting the night off…

A Little Bit Rock ‘n Roll, A Little Bit Horror

May 23, 2017May 23, 2017 Every Show JoeAcoustic, Arizona, Buried in Red, Chip Hanna, Country, Creepsville 666, Horror Punk, Psychobilly, Punk, Redneck Nosferatu, Rockabilly, Tempe, Yucca Tap Room

It isn’t often I see the same out of town band twice within a month. When they leave a great first impression though, of course, you will find me back. Redneck Nosferatu were rolling through town once more, this time at the Yucca Tap Room. They were joined by Buried in Red, Creepsville 666, and the great punk icon, Chip Hanna. Opening up were the fantastic three piece, Buried in Red. This night being my first to capture them closer with a camera, I noticed more about them. Aaron is…

Taking In Some Horror Punk

May 4, 2017October 19, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, Cadaver Dabba Doos, Creepsville 666, Psychobilly, Punk, Redneck Nosferatu, Rockabilly, Tempe, Time Out Lounge

Discovery is one of the special ingredients of life. Tonight I was familiar with one of the bands, but didn’t do any research on what to expect from the other two. What I discovered was two more bands with personality. You can add Cadaver Dabba Doos and Redneck Nosferatu to that list alongside Creepsville 666 already on it. All three of them combined for a great middle of the week show. First on the bill was the Cadaver Dabba Doos. They have been playing a bit these days, but this was…

Making St. Patty’s Day Pink

One of the longer running punk bands in the valley are the Venomous Pinks. Over the last couple months the hard work they have been putting has been paying out dividends. They are now signed to a label, Squid Hat out of Vegas. They have an opening slot on the main stage of this year’s Punk Rock Bowling. Now the first fruits of labor under Squid Hat released with a great new EP titled “We Do It Better,” with two of the hardest songs I’ve heard from them titled “Pizza…

Double Whammy

February 4, 2017February 4, 2017 Every Show Joe51 West, Arizona, Corky's Leather Jacket, Creepsville 666, Crown Victoria Vandalism Committee, Diego Galvan, Escape from the Zoo, Folk Punk, Psychobilly, Punk, Rockabilly, Tempe, The Freak Billyz, The Linecutters, The Living Deads, Yucca Tap Room

What do you do when there is a bunch of music in one night? If you’re me, you try to find the best way to hit as much as you love and enjoy it. For tonight, probably one of the best examples of how I earned my nickname, I hit up two separate shows almost simultaneously. In this case, it was an easier example with both 51 West and Yucca Tap Room being walking distance. It was catching a great combination of some awesome folk punk, punk, and rockabilly combined.…

Rocking Around The Upright Bass

January 7, 2017January 7, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, Black Rose Phantoms, Buried in Red, Creepsville 666, Psychobilly, Rockabilly, Tempe, The Freak Billyz, Yucca Tap Room

A great philosophy in concert going is to always be at shows early and support all the bands. However, tonight was an example of the struggle of managing my time between my day job and keeping up with my website. My aim is to keep a twenty four hour cycle of show posts unless I’m writing up something bigger like the Punk Rock Eve or the upcoming Viva PHX, where there is more to go through. Unfortunately, doing that means I made sure after my day job to get Thursday…

Ringing In A New Year

January 2, 2017January 2, 2017 Every Show JoeAlternative, Arizona, Authority Zero, Creepsville 666, Face to Face, Fourbanger, Gilbert, Hall 13, LightSpeedGo, No Gimmick, Phunk Junkeez, Playboy Manbaby, Punk, Rusty Ranch, School of Rock, Strung Out, Tempe

For many, the year 2016 was not the best one that could have been. Many less likely and less positive events occurred over the past year that some are wishing to put behind them in a traditional way as the clock ticks past midnight. For me, the year has been about change. It has been changes for the positive in many topics. It has been a stepping block to further ambitions and passions. For people in either the positive or negative view of 2016, New Year’s Eve brought some of…
