It was a night of a perfect combination of locals over at 51 West. Sore Eyes opening up with high energy. However, due to illness and down members the Jaunts went acoustic for this set. Then it was back to high energy, high flying as Zero Degrees North and No Lungs closed it out. A fantastic night of local music melting faces. Check out a few of the shots from the night below.

It Isn’t All Painting and Fences

May 14, 2017May 15, 2017 Every Show JoeAlternative Rock, Arizona, Dwarf, Hostile Work Environment, Indie Rock, Painting Fences, Pho Cao, Rock, Scottsdale, Zero Degrees North

Last night was one of those where I could have been in six places at once. I put catching the EP release show for Painting Fences atop my list. With it came some of the best stage lighting I’ve seen at Pho Cao and two bands new to me. It included a couple extra guests during the Painting Fences set too. It was a blast to be at. If seeing Zero Degrees North for my third Saturday in a row does not show how high in regard I hold them,…

A Snapshot of the Indie 500

May 9, 2017May 9, 2017 Every Show JoeAcoustic, Aerico, Alternative, Alternative Rock, Aorta, Arizona, Clay-Fighter, Daniel Fury, Deadsnake, Drunk and Horny, Grunge, Hex Marrow, Hip Hop, Indie Rock, Kimya Dawson, Lav Andula, Lil Trip, Nick Perkins, Phoenix, Punk, Rum Drinker, Run-On Sunshine, Terminal 11, The Smiling Faces, Trunk Space, Wayward Son, Zero Degrees North

The Indie 500 is a special event. The first one took place on the Trunk Space’s tenth anniversary, and, if memory serves correct, a joint celebration of a new air conditioning unit that was public funded. However, that isn’t what makes it special. It is that it brings together a bunch of different musicians and genres that I don’t always get to make it to. Plus you can jump in and out of it, like I did last year, and catch a bunch of music at any time of the…

Cancer is a disease that is tragic for anyone to have. It is worse when it happens to a kid, who has to then grow up quickly when they should be enjoying their lack of responsibilities and dreaming about their future. You have seen me attend and bring it up on here before, when we had a benefit show for Hunter Keener. However, another family of a friend has had it strike for a nephew who is only eleven and now diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma Cancer. I tend to avoid…

The New Class of Punks

January 16, 2017May 20, 2020 Every Show JoeArizona, Expiration Date, Kill Your TV, Phoenix, Punk, Rebel Lounge, Sunlaand, Zero Degrees North

Tonight was a night that I got to check in on how some of the younger music talent is killing it in the local scene. I could put each one of the bands into a different punk rock genre giving a good mix of sounds. They had a solid turnout of the under twenty ones moshing and moving around most of the night. These kids have passion and energy for music, and I love it. Right off the bat, I was catching Sunlaand who I had unfortunately missed the night…
