Being a promoter, I rarely get the opportunity to see a lot of the bands I would like to see, unless I'm working with them that night. Of course, if the situation arises efforts can be made, but that's not something that I would ever want to make habit out of. I've become familiar with forcing myself to believe that I will see them (whatever band it may be) the next time they come around. This is one of the many reasons I've decided to slow down, and to only do shows for bands I like.

The older I'm getting the less I want to help out people who I cannot artistically understand. For that, my personal effort(s) to come out to shows or the desire to do shows is decreasing. Some call this "elitism" and other call it "getting old in the scene", but I like to call it what it really is... lack of finances to support music I feel should and could be supported in Arizona. Regardless of what may exist in my bank account, I've come to terms with a couple of things in my life... we are all creatures of habit, and I have an addiction.

So here's a list of some events you'll see me at, not because I have to be there but because I've made time out of my calendar to be there, and I think the bands are worth coming to Phoenix. If you see me and I'm drunk enough, I'll probably buy you a drink and if not, then get me there.

Fucked up @ Chasers (5/6)

Fucked up @ Chasers

What to expect: Heavy distortion projected through loud amplification, sweaty dudes, fat dudes, hot dudes, stoned dudes (maybe a couple of stoned girls too), friends, old assholes, young assholes, a couple of flipped billed hats with clever one word phrases, everyone speaking in music and movie references like some sort of foreign language, merch, records you'll probably want to buy before someone else buys it and sells it on eBay for more than what it was being sold for.

with:

The Beets/Naïve/The Chandails @ YOBS (5/12)

The Beets/Naïve/The Chandails @ YOBS

What to expect: It's at YOBS, done.

with:

Brilliant Colors @ Trunkspace (5/25)

Brilliant Colors @ Trunkspace

What to expect: A night of incredibly catchy, raw and unpolished pop.

with:

Abominable Iron Sloth @ The Rogue (5/26)

Abominable Iron Sloth @ The Rogue

What to expect: Loud noises, beer... I really shouldn't have to elaborate on that.

with:

Job For A Cowboy @ The Clubhouse (5/27)

Job For A Cowboy @ The Clubhouse

What to expect: We all know exactly what to expect, or some don't but say their not going because they have a higher understanding of this genre of music. Regardless Cattle Decapitation never disappoints.

with:

Goatwhore @ Nile Underground (5/29)

Goatwhore @ Nile Underground

What to expect: Metal! Metal! Metal!

with:

X (Australia) & A-Frames @ Rhythm Room (5/29)

X (Australia) & A-Frames @ Rhythm Room

What to expect: A legend status punk band from Australia that started in the 70's play in Arizona for the very first time. A-Frames, who rarely tour will also be playing accompanied with 2 of the better locals in this city.

with:

Bastard Noise @ Trunkspace (6/13)

Bastard Noise @ Trunkspace

What to expect: Bastard Noise features Wood, Connell, and Nelson of Man Is The Bastard. The closest to a real Man Is The Bastard show, that most of us never got an opportunity to see.

3 new songs up for streaming, band was previously known as CAGEMATCH. Still and perhaps more heavy and crushing as before. Bang your heads.
