The new AZPunk 2.0 is an ongoing in-the-works project. That means there might be
some bugs here and there. If you're looking for the best in AZPunk experience, ditch the
Internet Explorer and get your www on with a real browser!
Welcome to the very first attempt at an idea I've had since the early days of AZPunk. Nothing cutting edge, really. Just a couple of dudes siting around a table, and mixing beer, whisky and rum with some chatter about local punk rock happenings. I guess you could say this is our new twist on the old "Featured Bands" segments we used to do, but rather than typing out a bunch of stupid questions for someone to answer, it seemed it would be a cooler idea to ask the stupid questions in person, toss in an unhealthy mixture of alcohol, and just hit record.
So here it is, AZPunk's first Pub Crawl Podcast. The general idea of this project is to grab a local band, pick one of the many local punk-friendly bars and pubs on our list, and just talk about whatever the alcohol tells us to talk about. Helping me along with this project are two long-time friends to AZPunk, Kris "D-Frag" Jonson taking photos, and Andrew "Rustyshackleford" Roesch recording and editing the audio. Hopefully this will be the first part in a long series of Pub Crawl podcasts for AZPunk. We had a lot of fun doing this for the first time. Originally, the plan was to host this podcast on iTunes, but it apears their review process takes a minimum of a million years, because I still haven't gotten the confirmation email. (Full podcast now available on iTunes!) So, in the meantime, we'll be sharing the track via Sound Cloud.
As you listen to the audio, from time-to-time you may hear an older, wiser voice from our pirate bartender chime in to give his two cents. This would be my father. Yea, my dad was at this thing. You see, when I called Mikey Wretch to inform him that he was going to be my first lab rat for this new audible experiment, I presented him with a huge list of local bars that he could choose from. Any one of the local punk-friendly establishments (that we know of) from Phoenix to Prescott and everywhere in between. Did he choose any of these? No. Instead, Mikey wanted to record at the small bar located in the back yard of my parents house. Right. Check. Parent's house. Ok, Mikey. This won't be awkward at all...

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.
