Photos: Fucked Up, Landmine Marathon, Cagematch, Elder & Chandails @ Chasers 5/6/2010



Ever hear the old saying "When life gives you lemons start a big mosh pit and beat the crap out of the people that also got lemons"? No, well you should have gone to see Fucked Up last week because that shit was all about that shit. Hardcore and Death Metal are not usually something that we cover here at EM but for some reason or another Fucked Up has transcended into "Indie Rock" territory and after the whole immigration debate I just had to see what would happen. From what I gathered nothing out of the ordinary, but the ordinary is shit tons of pissed off people beating the crap out of each other so it was still pretty fun. We might just have to start covering this shit more, assuming my camera doesn't get smashed by teen angst first.

Check out a bunch of pictures from the show below and even more on our Flickr page HERE

Tonight In The Valley: Black Carl, Gavin Castleton, Chandails, Tyrone Wells, Jonatha Brooke


Like this but outside, with flowers.

Lot's of stuff going on tonight. If you already have tickets Black Carl at the Desert Botanical Gardens is going to be pretty awesome. I went to the Love Me Nots version a month or so ago and it WAS pretty awesome so I can't imagine why tonight would be any different, well unless a swarm of killer bees attacks everyone. I guess that would still be exciting just not so much fun.

Grey's Anatomy staple Tyrone Wells at The Rhythm Room is probably going to be really good for fans of Tyrone Wells... and it's not sold out yet. Surprisingly, because of the whole Grey's Anatomy. But isn't Grey's Anatomy on tonight? So maybe that's why? Actually upon further review, since I don't watch that show, there might just be a lot of Grey's Anatomy montages set to Tyrone Wells songs on youtube. I really don't know, and I really doesn't matter right? And also I don't even know Grey's Anatomy is on tonight or even on AT ALL to be honest.

Tyrone Wells @ The Rhythm Room 8pm $16

Black Carl @ Desert Botanical Garden (Spiked! Thursdays) 6pm SOLD OUT!

Gavin Castleton with Capain Squeegee, Tugboat, and Russian Arms and Optics @ Chyro Arts $12

Jonatha Brooke @ Voce Restaurant 8:30 & 10pm $30

Balloons is fun!?!, Foxes, Hello The Mind Control, & Chandails @ The Trunk Space 7:30pm $?

Tonight In Phoenix: Harlem, Chandails, The Pods @ The Trunk Space



If you enjoy good/maybe excellent bands named after places they are not from and possibly had never even been too at the time of their naming but probably HAD been since people travel all over the country and even the world too it's definitely within reason to assume that one of them had at least been to this place at least once.

If you guessed that I was talking about Harlem, that moved from Nashville TN to Tucson AZ to Austin TX then you are the big winner, of joining me (at your own expense of course) at The Trunk Space tonight to watch Harlem play songs from their catalog of songs they wrote and learned how to play as a band together. I am very much excited to see this show because I find Harlem pleasing to my ears, couple that with the fact that I have recently (last night) gotten over my mild dislike of The Trunk Space and it's a recipe for fun and excitement.
