Pub Rock – Every Show Joe

Shut Up, Get Rad

April 10, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, Playboy Manbaby, Pub Rock, Punk, Scottsdale, Teenage Bottlerocket, The Mr. T Experience, The Nobodys

Teenage Bottlerocket I discovered later than many. Regardless, when I did, I fell in love with the music. I picked up the latest at the time, “Freak Out!” and then consumed all of the music I could find going into their back catalog. They played music that gave me an old school Ramones feeling, but with modern punk blended in. The lyrics touched upon topics of love, skaters, geeky stuff, and shitty customer service jobs that I related to in a heartbeat. Enjoying everything I was listening to, of course,…

A Captive Audience

April 1, 2017April 1, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, No Gimmick, Nothington, Pub Rock, Punk, Reason Unknown, Rundown Roommates, Scottsdale, Western Settings

Earlier in the week I posted the fortune “Express yourself, do something creative.” The debate of if fortune cookies should be telling us our alleged future or just give us inspiring messages can rage on.

Because Fuck Cancer

November 26, 2016 Every Show JoeArizona, Ben Ciampa, Idiotkin, New Chums, Perfect Sense, Pub Rock, Scottsdale

The show organized by Ross to celebrate Hunter having his last treatment, and raise money for other families who deal with this at the Phoenix Children’s Hospital. This was a night of friends and family coming together for the same amazing cause, and to say “Fuck Cancer.” Heck, I even brought the PBR shaker that gave me my first nickname of “Homemade Shaker Joe” for this special…

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…
