Welcome to the August edition of AZ Kaos! This month we have a few new writers and, of course, all those overly opinionated old writers that drink and bitch far too much.
The summer has been quite the busy one around here (and hot as fuck) but it's not over yet. There are still plenty of awesome bands with shows coming up and, of course, plenty to do if you just get out of the house. Now onto AZK stuff - we've been running around like mad for a while now, but are constantly amazed at how much help we've been given or offered from everyone out there! We really couldn't keep this running if not for all of you out there!
July proved for a ton of really great shows and I think everyone out there (especially all of us on staff here) have been having a blast rocking out to some of our favorite bands that happened to come through this month - local and national. There were lots of fun drunks, strange stories, a band tearing up the stage completely naked, tons of great music, some typical scene drama, more pits and glorious pile-ons than we've seen in a long time, and some stuff that we could've gone our whole lives without seeing. August is going to be even better! Don't forget to come out to the Desert Punk Slamboree on 08/22 at The Sets. We've been talking about it around here for months now and it's quickly coming up. You're really not going to want to miss it.
You'll notice that we have a few new contributors this month and we're really excited to have them on board. We've got a little more statewide coverage now and hoping to get even more because we certainly don't want to leave out any of the cool shit happening outside of Phoenix and Tucson.
So, as always if you have something to say, a band you think we should check out, shows coming up, want to help out in any way, or just want to send some naked photos, you can do so via myspace, or just catch one of us out at a show!
If you have a list of local punk shit that you want to share, hit us up in our contact sectionAZPunk needs your participation! and let's talk. We definitely can't cover all these angles alone.

Local punk band Throb Zombie goes on stage right before Total Chaos. If you haven't seen us before, this will be a great show to do it, and we can use all the local support we can get!
This band is just starting to get serious with their music. It would be greatly apreciated if you guys could show some support!
3 new songs up for streaming, band was previously known as CAGEMATCH. Still and perhaps more heavy and crushing as before. Bang your heads.
We''re continuously trying to come up with new ideas and useful tools to help you in your search for something punk to do in the Valley. If you think AZPunk is doing a good job, buy us a beer. Any little bit helps keeping this AZPunk machine running, and is totally appreciated.
