You really can’t go wrong with Viva PHX. This was our fourth time at the local festival, and, although the price increased from $15 in 2014 to $25 in 2017, you still won’t find a better deal for such a huge amount of talent. Even if you didn’t know a single band on the lineup, you’re bound to…
There’s a sort of lawlessness when you walk into the massive crowd that Slipknot brings to the Ak-chin Pavilion. There’s no way security can make their way through 20,000 people to keep the peace, so things tend to get settled by the hive mind of the crowd. There will almost always be a moment where you have to decide…
You can expect a few things to happen when you attend a show for Bitforce, a nerd core trio hailing from San Antonio, Texas: You’ll get hit with a major dose of nostalgia, you’ll flip when you hear their Sonic cover because it’s that good, and you’ll hear a cover the Pokemon theme song. And yes, everyone…
The one man bands of Phoenix came together to show that you don’t always need a full band to play some great jams. Tribal Leader, Manifest Sound, I Am Hologram, and Page The Village Idiot all took turns on stage, with music ranging from techno to “post punk space blues”. The night saw a combination…
If you’ve ever wanted to feel connected to your city, all you need to do is make a trip to downtown Phoenix and experience the music scene that has been doing it’s own thing for longer than most people know. Now all of that hard work from bands and small venues (and any house that doesn’t…
I’ll be upfront about this: I loved Mergence. Still do. And I’m almost positive I’ve attended every one of their shows — and I miss seeing them perform (especially at The Sail Inn — R.I.P.). But those days are long gone. The Sail Inn has turned into The Lodge Sasquatch Kitchen, and Mergence hasn’t performed…
No Body brings on point harmonies and smashing riffs to Arizona. Monday night, why not head over to The Trunk Space to check out some new music? That’s exactly what tonight was all about, and I was definitely glad I made the trek to downtown phoenix. Mixing vocal harmonies, tempo changes and raw energy, No Body definitely…
Local favorites Andrew Jackson Jihad and Playboy Manbaby recently took a sold out Crescent Ballroom for a wild ride on 12/30/14. There’s no doubt that local music is alive and well when you see how these two local bands can easily whip up a crowd and keep a sea of jumping bodies and flailing arms…
Tempe Beach Park to host an indie, reggae, punk and rock festival in March 2015 called Pot of Gold Music Festival. And it’s bound to be a great one.
Jumping off to the side of the circle pit, I bent down to put my shoe back on. Without hesitation, 4-5 people quickly locked their arms together and formed a “shoe back on protection circle” around me until I stood back up. I’m used to crowds taking care of each other, picking up fallen fans…
