Twenty Five

August 16, 2019August 16, 2019 Every Show JoeArizona, Authority Zero, Hit the Switch, Not Confined, Phoenix, Punk, Rebel Lounge, Reggae Rock, Ska, Venomous Pinks

I can count on one hand the amount of local bands that I followed in high school that still perform today. Of that handful, there is one that has elevated to an international success and I keep purchasing every release to date. That band is Authority Zero. When I first found them, it was twenty years ago when I got my driver’s license and started finding my taste in music. The first lineup I knew was Jason DeVore, Jeremy Wood, Bill Marcks, and Jim Wilcox. I made every effort to…

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,…

A Reel Big Soup

August 5, 2019August 5, 2019 Every Show JoeArizona, Bowling For Soup, marquee theatre, Mest, Pop Punk, Punk, Reel Big Fish, Ska, Ska Punk, Tempe

Third wave ska was born out of the punk scene in the late eighties, combining the sound of old school ska with the upbeat and fast paced nature of punk. Of those within the genre, there is only a pair I have watched in double digit. One of those tattooed on my arm, Less than Jake, and the other is Reel Big Fish. I used to joke they were a band that I couldn’t miss. That I always ended up at their Phoenix stops regardless of remembering they were playing.…

Artist Spotlight Concerts

Artist Spotlight: Potty Mouth

July 26, 2019July 26, 2019 Every Show JoeArizona, Indie Rock, Phoenix, Pop Punk, Potty Mouth, Punk, Trunk Space

In my latest artist spotlight, it is a case for why you show up early for every band. I first saw Potty Mouth as part of the tour with Skating Polly. Skating Polly was a band I was recommended prior, but had not had a chance to watch live before. Though before those guys played there was this band called Potty Mouth. They are an all-girl four piece live, and three piece otherwise, that brought an enthusiasm to the stage. They played a pop punk brand of music with fantastic…

Frenetic, Fast Paced Fun

July 24, 2019July 25, 2019 Every Show JoeAlternative Rock, Amyl and the Sniffers, Arizona, DOMS, Garage Rock, Heavy Breather, Indie Punk, Indie Rock, Man Hands, Phoenix, Punk, Rhythm Room

Have you ever heard a song and immediately were enamored with it? Hearing Amyl and the Sniffers song “GFY” for the first time on the Jonah Raydio podcast was just that. After that, I immediately jumped over to Spotify to listen to the rest of the self-titled album that it came from. The energy and sound grabbed me song after another on it. Of course, luck would have it they would be in town about a month after with a rad group of locals. Up first is a band I…

Come For A Pair of Bands, Get a Pair More

July 15, 2019July 24, 2019 Every Show JoeAlternative Rock, Arizona, Folk, Heart Attack Man, Indie Rock, Phoenix, Pop Punk, Punk, Rebel Lounge, Rome Hero Foxes, Sincere Engineer, Troubled Minds

There are musicians from the first song you know that you just want to keep listening to after. On a tour last year with Lawrence Arms and Red City Radio, there was a solo musician called Sincere Engineer. She came out with not only catchy and well written verses, but an honest stage presence that played well with the Phoenix crowd. She is one of those musicians that you look forward to catching once you’ve heard her. This time around she brought her full band alongside co-headliners Heart Attack Man,…
