The Manor: A Clubhouse for Losers

House shows still dominate the underground in AZ

Since the dawn of Man, house shows have been the lifeline of true underground punk rock music. If you've never heard of them, or if their name is certain to generate some interest, chances are the bands playing at any given local house shows are worthy of your attention. Case in point, The Manor in Tempe is the left ventricle of the Arizona punk rock house show circulatory system. The guys who run/work/live at The Manor are also members of local punk bands like Higher Love, Lower Love and Standards, who coincidentally also populate some of the shows held there.

"For the past few years now, The Manor has played host to hundreds of bands and performance artists, ranging from every genre and style of music you can imagine. In those same few years, we've had a countless number people move in and out. Currently, we have four people living here, all of whom book and play shows all over phoenix (and the country I might add). This really works to our advantage, because all of the Manor residents are experienced in what it takes to book, promote and run a show, as well as all of us being very proactive people in general. This makes for an awesome show, regardless of what bands are playing or what day of the week the show falls on." - Neutral Words

The guys from Distort-Phx & CitySlaang Presents have been hard at work shipping in bands in from all over the place to entertain you restless degenerates. Shows at the Manor are advertised as donation driven, but that doesn't mean you get in for free, cheap-ass. Donations are suggested to help the touring bands and fix whatever holes or clogged toilets the guys have to take care of once the party ends. So how about this, go check out a show at The Manor, bring $7 for the touring bands, and try to respect the house a little, huh? These guys gotta sleep in whatever shit you may be dragging in.

"The place is pure fun. It's how punk shows should be really. ...No stage, lighting, or superb sound system. Just an old PA, bands, and sweaty kids in a living room going ape shit." -oh shit (part 2)
