AWS Can Be More Than One Band

December 10, 2016May 20, 2020 Every Show JoeAmerican Standards, Arizona, Assuming We Survive, Inept Hero, Phoenix, Punk, Rebel Lounge, Rock, Sunday at Noon

The abbreviation of AWS can stand for more than A Wilhelm Scream. That didn’t cross my mind until Adrian, Assuming We Survive’s lead singer, pointed out they have a way to get into their next music video by using the hashtag “#aws” with a selfie with any of the band in it. That turned into a fun conversation after the show with Adrian about both bands, telling me how it is a frequent conversation with A Wilhelm Scream’s online hashtags and they are good friends. This is just one example…

Young Punks On the Rise

December 4, 2016May 20, 2020 Every Show JoeArizona, Doll Skin, Phoenix, Punk, Rebel Lounge, Sol Drop, Sunlaand

Skinny Lister who toured with Frank was the ones traveling the U.S. atop the tour. They impressed last time in that amazing sandwich of musicians at the Press Room, and they upped the ante when playing the role of headliner tonight.

Fishbone With a Little Funk and Soul

November 20, 2016 Every Show JoeArizona, Aunt B, Dr. Delicious, Fishbone, Phoenix, Rebel Lounge

Here is a night I make the trek to the old Mason Jar, now known as the Rebel Lounge, to catch one of the best bands I’ve seen play outside of festival shows. When Fishbone is given their own show and set, they play one of the most fantastic sets I have seen any band play every time. If you’re a fan of any ska or reggae, you owe it to yourself to catch one of their shows. This night opened with the pleasant surprise of a local…
