Local Stuff You Should Know #11

Awesome upcoming shows for punks of all flavors

Congrats to contest winner Renee Unfricht! Enjoy the 3D DVD and enjoy the show!

Cut Throat Freak Show 3D DVD
Enter to win this shit!

The recent scouring of the innerwebs and additions to our shows calendar have pointed towards some seriously awesome local shows coming up. And by seriously awesome, I'm talking about opening your fucking calendar and marking this shit down in red right now. Hardcore pioneers, sideshow freaks, local favorites, and controversial house shows that will destroy lives and create more scrutiny than your mom's sex video we've been glued to all week.

To start things off, we're tossing out another contest for the lucky few who actually decide to read this article. AZpunk and the Cut Throat Freak Show are teaming up to give one lucky ass a copy of the new Cut Throat Freak Show 3D DVD with super-fashionable 3D glasses included, and one free ticket to the Cut Throat Freak Show 3D DVD Release Show at Chasers on Friday, February 26th. We'll be drawing one winner on Thursday, February 25th, and the one chosen will have to actually get off their ass and go to the show to get the prizes, so if you're entering, clean your calendar for the 26th. (This show is a 21+ event, so that means this contest is only available to the adult table. Sorry kiddies.)

CutThroat tells AZPunk, "For me to get to see the show I want to see, I have to throw it myself. So this show will have a 3D film screening, pinatas, teen girls wrestling in a swimming pool of slime and octopi, the silliest dj I could find, and a shenanigans coordinator by the name of Fiasco. We've got some fun fucking bands too, BroLoaf, Melted Cassettes, Canyon Animals, DIM and of course a performance by the Cut Throat Freak Show. Oh, and wait till you see what she does with a carrot!" Here's a preview of what you can expect to see from this mangy group of freaks.

Now onto the upcoming shows you need to be aware of, starting with these freaks...

Cut Throat Freak Show 3D DVD Release Show @ Chasers 2/26

House shows live @ Judy 2/26

Not enough controversy in your life? Well then, head on down to Judy (Yes, Judy), the new spot for house shows in Downtown Phoenix on 2/26 to check out some the bands that are basically unstoppable right now.

The Dames return @ Joe's Grotto 2/27

The Dames return @ Joe's Grotto 2/27

Girl rockers, and all-around awesome chicks, The Dames hop back into the grind @ Joe's Grotto on February 27th. Big ups to Dames drummer, Smashley, and NSK guitarist, Luke 40, for prepping that proverbial knot as its about to be tied. Congrats you two!

I Hate You When You're Pregnant @ Mia's Lounge 3/4

I Hate You When You're Pregnant @ Mia's Lounge 3/4

If you don't know why we've added this show to our "must see" list, then that pretty much solidifies the fact that you are missing some of the crazy shit local music has to offer. IHYWYP doesn't play too often these days, so if you haven't caught them before, grab your mittins and plan a roadtrip to Flagstaff.

Landmine Marathon Record Release @ Chasers 3/6

Landmine Marathon Record Release @ Chasers 3/6

For the grind fans, local favs Landmine Marathon will be releasing their album Sovereign Descent on March 6th @ Chasers. If you want a taste of this new awesomeness, head over to brooklynvegan.com to download their new track Exist for free.

with:

Cro-Mags @ Clubhouse 3/10

Cromags @ Clubhouse 3/10

That's right. Cro-Mags. NYHC at its most supreme finest will be penetrating ears and dropping heads at the Clubhouse on March 10th with L.A.'s Alpha Omega and locals. Wear a helmet for this one.

with:

Cizmarch Maddness @ YOBS 3/13-3/15

Cizmarch Maddness @ YOBS 3/13-3/15

Can't make it to SXSW this year? Don't sweat it. Luckily for AZ, we tend to get some great runoff flow thru these parts during the month of March, and from the 13th thru the 15th, Ye Old Bike Shop (YOBS) in Tempe will be hosting the house show of house shows featuring a massive collection of touring bands. Based on the name of this event, I anticipate to be sitting back and reading several months worth of great innerwebs poo slinging.

Truck Stop Rock Fest @ Hollywood Alley 3/13

Truck Stop Rock Fest @ Hollywood Alley 3/13
