Artist Spotlight: Broloaf

May 10, 2019May 10, 2019 Every Show JoeArizona, Broloaf, Hardcore Punk, Punk, Rogue Bar, Scottsdale

In this artist spotlight, it is one that occasionally brings their own spotlight since I found them, Broloaf. They are a band put together by random chance for a contest. Lucky for us, they decided after the competition to keep these members together to continue spreading the fun. Broloaf is a band with East Coast Hardcore influence and WWE flair. They write songs mocking the bro culture to the style of that genre. Well performed, as the music experience and talent of the band members shines at any given performance.…

Hot Pockets and A Farewell

May 9, 2019May 9, 2019 Every Show JoeAlternative Rock, American Standards, Bonzalez, Hardcore, Hardcore Punk, MRCH, New Wave, Playboy Manbaby, Punk, Trunk Space

As life goes on, we continue to grow and change. Our interests jump around and with that we tend to make changes to adapt. With bands, that sometimes ends up the case too. When a member of a favorite band decides it is time to make that kind of change. This night was part that, as Mitch performed on drums for the last time with a band I discovered thanks to him, American Standards. Of course, anytime you pair their energy with that of Playboy Manbaby it’s going to be…

Sweet Discoveries

Despite what a few people might think, there are bands out there I have yet to discover. For one, there are bands always popping up while others end for one reason or another. I suppose you would refer to it as the ebb and flow of the music scene. In the case of this night at the Lunchbox, I returned to catch a band with no social media presence and one with that I had seen before. With them I found two local bands I had never seen. The musicians…

Didn’t Feel Like A Monday

January 5, 2019January 5, 2019 Every Show JoeArizona, Grade 2, Hardcore Punk, Lower Class Brats, Old Firm Casuals, Punk, Tempe, Thug Riot, Yucca Tap Room

There are older bands I have not caught in a non-festival setting. These are excellent ones that either they haven’t visited in the time since discovering or I had one of my regular overlaps of music I want to go see in the same night. The Lower Class Brats and Old Firm Casuals are both bands that until recently fit underneath this. A show additionally bringing a Tucson favorite, Thug Riot, and I got introduced to a band I had never heard before, Grade 2. Opening up are the Tucson…

Watching An Icon

December 31, 2018January 3, 2019 Every Show JoeArizona, Club Red, Doyle, Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein, Hardcore, Hardcore Punk, Mesa, Metal, Punk, Rock, Sanitation Squad, The Dead Beat Hymns, The Misfits

In the world of music there are icons and those that most would argue defined a type of music. In the larger spectrum, probably see the names of Elvis Presley and the Beatles thrown into that discussion. However, in the world of punk rock, the Misfits defined what horror punk is. In addition, they brought a look and names to the mix that forever cemented their icon status. Since the time of the band, three of them split off to form their own projects. One member to do this was…

Kill Your TV Says Goodbye… For Now

August 27, 2018August 27, 2018 Every Show JoeArizona, Hardcore Punk, Jett Runaway, Kill Your TV, Phoenix, PPC Crack House, PPC Estate, Punk

A favorite local band of mine is coming to an end, for now. Not sure how long the break will be. They aren’t stopping on bad terms, just a member escaping to the cooler confines of Flagstaff for college. Hopefully we will see the Kill Your TV’s return down the road. Though for a possible last show, the PPC Estate was the perfect setting and the Kill Your TV performance was a fantastic transition into their break. One thing to spotlight in here is my visit to the intimate PPC…
