Fucked Up "Ship of Fools"

If you were cool enough to respond to some super secret email you might have gotten a free CD with this song on it. But you probably weren't and neither was I. Fortunately for us Consequence of Sound was and did. Thus giving me an excuse to post that picture of Pink Eye I took last year at Chasers.

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: Fucked Up at Chasers

Okay, you guys, follow along with me now because there is a band playing tonight called Fucked Up. Yep, Fucked Up. That’s their name. Fucked Up is the band’s name.

Sorry, just wanted to see how many times I could reasonably write the words “fucked” and “up” in one paragraph. Not bad.

In all seriousness, though, if you’re going to see a show tonight my recommendation is definitely Fucked Up. The Toronto hardcore band is legendary for putting on amazing live performances. I have a feeling that this one tonight is going to be pretty epic. If interested you can head on down to Chasers in Scottsdale. If you don’t make it you’re fucked up. Man, I just fucked up this post. I really fucked up now.

Okay, this joke has run its course. See you tonight.

Fucked Up Ticket Giveaway

If you read this blog I am sure you are a little familiar with the Arizona's racist immigration law and all the fall out that has occurred because of it. The specific fall out that concerns us greatly here at The 'Stache (aside from the actual law of course) is the recent decision of at least one band to boycott AZ.

We have made it pretty clear that we think that is pretty stupid since most of the people who are going to go to an indie rock show are most likely just as pissed off about this whole thing as the rest of the world. Unfortunately us commie liberals are outnumbered by the never ending supply of fascist conservative senior citizens that turn 65 and move here from the mid west in droves... for the dry heat. Fortunately there is someone that sees the failed logic in this boycott and has been pretty outspoken about it. That person is Damian Abraham, singer of Canadian band Fucked Up. He is calling for MORE bands to play AZ and "rally the troops" so to speak against the powers that be rather than leaving us stranded and alone. And this Thursday he is putting his money where his mouth is when Fucked Up play Chasers in Scottsdale. We want as many people to show up for this thing to prove that when bands make the decision to play our very unpopular state those of us who are against the shit law show up and support them. To help with that we have a pair of tickets to give away to to the first person to re-tweet this (and also say they want the tickets).

If you are not the lucky winner get your tickets HERE before they hopefully sell out. Good luck!
