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

March 18, 2017March 18, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, Creepsville 666, Inept Hero, Krovak, Psychobilly, Punk, Rockabilly, Skull Drug, Tempe, Venomous Pinks, Yucca Tap Room

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.…

Favorite Local Albums of 2016

January 10, 2017January 15, 2017 Every Show Joe.decker, Alternative, Bear Ghost, Best Of 2016, Bluegrass, Broloaf, C:28, Folk, Harper and the Moths, Haymarket Squares, LightSpeedGo, Manual Sex Drive, Moment of Ruin, Mr. Mudd and Mr. Gold, Punk, Reason Unknown, Red Tank!, Rock, Rockabilly, Skull Drug, The Darling Sounds, The Darts

People like lists I hear, so I’m putting together two. The first of which is to spotlight some of my favorite music released in the past year in Phoenix that I managed to catch. I struggled to keep it a best of ten, so I made it fifteen. I’m sure it may come to a shock for some it isn’t a punk band atop it, but my favorite genre does sit within in a couple spots. Be sure to check out all these artists and catch them at a show…

Creepy Birthday To You

January 9, 2017 Every Show JoeArizona, Contradiktion, Grave Danger, Jack the Cat, Punk, Rockabilly, Ska, Ska Punk, Tempe, True Rivals, We Might Be Wasted, Yucca Tap Room

Stealing a little lyric from the “Theme from a NOFX Album” and slightly modifying it, Creepy Don is not really so creepy. This was the night to celebrate his birthday though in the most appropriate way, a punk show. The line-up included his band, We Might Be Wasted, amongst a great packet of musicians. Although, Nick, from Jack the Cat, jested that his taste in music hasn’t got better with age if Jack the Cat is playing. On that note, Jack the Cat kicked off the show. I don’t know…

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…

A Little Bit Rockabilly, A Little Bit More

December 11, 2016December 18, 2016 Every Show JoeArizona, Manual Sex Drive, Phoenix, Psychobilly, Rebel Lounge, Roadkill Wranglers, Rockabilly, Whiskey Kiss

I went in thinking I was catching a Rockabilly show, and I left realizing there was a broader range of music in the Rebel Lounge. The one known quantity of the night of for me entering was Manual Sex Drive, and I simply presumed I was choosing a Rockabilly night for my Saturday. While two were Rockabilly, Whiskey Six gave me a much bigger mix over their hour and a half set. Off the bat was a great band, Roadkill Wranglers, on only their second show. These guys were full…
