Thanks to the non-stop hard work driven punks over at Desert Punk Promotions and AZKaos, this Saturday at the Sets is where you're going to want to be to see a collection of some of Arizona's great punk rock bands.
The Desert Punk Slamboree is a gathering of Arizona's best local talent (The Glass Heroes, Rotten Youth, My Doll, etc) the most dedicated supporters (AZ Kaos), and the most die-hard fans (you). In short, it is THE event showcasing the strength and relevance of the Arizona punk, hardcore, and rock scene. The Desert Punk Slamboree show is a celebration of what all these people have done with the scene and what they will continue to do in the future; create good music and a place and time that people will remember years from now and wish they were there to witness. It will feature the aforementioned bands in addition to The Plainfield Butchers, Die Ignorant, The Video Nasties, Automatic Self-Destruct, Awful Truth and Contact Yourself and is sponsored by AZ Kaos who will be giving away cd's and other merch from local bands at the show. The tickets for this massive event are only $5 from any of these local artists and can only be purchased from them so if you know them, buy from them, if you don't, look them up. The cover will go up to $8 at the door the day of so get them beforehand. This show was organized to prove the scene isn't dead and in fact, is only just beginning so come out and show the world what AZ is made of.
