MILK SHOT: An Interview with Director Valence Heartlock
by Logan Lowrey-Rasmussen
–
Two weeks before the state of Arizona enacted their social distancing order, I found myself at what I thought was the premiere of a new band. However, it turned out to be a short film showing/house show extravaganza…

Mr. Mudd & Mr. Gold, American Longspurs Turn Up the Raucous for ‘Tyler’s Birthday Show’ at Crescent Ballroom
by Logan Lowrey-Rasmussen

I didn’t think for a moment I would end up on the doorstep of the Crescent Ballroom, two shots of Jack Daniels in, about to cover my first country show…

Maximum Sound: buRgandy juRk, The Maybe Next Years, El Googly Diablo, and Critical Miss at Rip’s Bar
by Logan Lowrey-Rasmussen
–
On Friday, June 28th, I made an eventful return to the venue where I covered my first local event review for YabYum: the prolific and punky Rip’s Bar of Phoenix. Like my visit last year, the bar remained frozen in time, with its regulars lining up for a night of “rock and excitement” headlined by buRgandy juRk, with support from Critical Miss, The Maybe Next Years, and El Googly Diablo. Or was it two years ago? That two-year binge period felt like I was frozen in carbonite…

Tapedeck.art Hosts ‘It’s A Party, Why Not?’ at StokedHaus
by Logan Lowrey-Rasmussen

I’m always game for a good house-show, and while I attend them quite frequently, there was a low-key feeling of exuberance I had for the May 4th edition of “It’s A Party, Why Not?”…

2000 Foot Turtle, Spectrum Hues, Lo Temps, + Olympic Games Make for an Unforgettable Night of RocknRoll
by Logan Lowrey-Rasmussen
–
On Friday, April 12, I pushed my body closer to its limits as I decided to cover two shows in a row. With just 24-hours preceding my review of Sunday At Noon with Almost Awake, Arlington, and HeadStrum, I realized this was a show I would have to compromise my mental health for. Not only was 2000 Foot Turtle scheduled, a personal favorite of mine, but the mysterious Spectrum Hues I hadn’t seen since my early days in photography last year dictated the final decision of my attendance. Aside from fresh punx 2KFT, groovy jam-band Spectrum Hues, and “modern psychedelia” LoTemps, this would also mark the very first performance of local self-described indie punk “ear candy,” Olympic Games — what a low-key clever name to spot on a flyer…

Wolf & Moon on Touring, Live vs Studio, and How They’re In It For the Long Run
by Logan Lowrey-Rasmussen

On an early Arizona morning, I meandered my way across the I-10 West to reach the trendy Be Coffee in Phoenix to link up with the indie-folk-pop duo Wolf & Moon from the mysterious lands of Germany…
Audrey Heartburn: ‘Dressing Room’ [review + interview]
by Logan Lowrey-Rasmussen
–
I remember attending Endless Bummer 3 last summer and meeting Salah Moharram and Sophia O’Malley like it was yesterday (and I can’t even remember yesterday). Although I had yet to see their joint project, Audrey Heartburn, it was one of the more quaint personal interactions I had between the energetic sets I caught that day: all three of us trading jokes and discussing bands and musical nuances. I promised myself I would attend an Audrey Heartburn show, but that day had yet to materialize before their debut EP, released on December 13, 2018 would find its way into my meaty claws. The three-track punk-hearted companion crosses a few genre lines, but is noteworthy for its clean composition, artistic intent, and well-timed cues…

Sunday at Noon: ‘Beat Up & Bitter’ [album review]

In the case of Sunday At Noon, their late 2018 full LP release, Beat Up & Bitter, sounds anything but the title’s tagline…

Music Video Premiere: “Rear Sector Movement” by Not Your Shadow [premiere + interview]
by Logan Lowrey-Rasmussen
–
In the Phoenix music scene I am always fascinated by artists who push themselves visually and add components not normally related to their genre. Although costumed performers and DJs can be found within the electronic music industry as a whole, there’s many electronic artists in Arizona who have yet to take that step in their branding.

Coffee Pot: ‘Anthrophobia’ [album review]
by Logan Lowrey-Rasmussen
What and who the hell is Coffee Pot?
For the past few months, I’ve closely followed a musician’s Twitter handle of unknown origins, like Rumpelstiltskin approaching me with a weary bargain, a strange-yet-endearing EP under the title of Anthrophobia ended up getting shoved into the back of my inbox until I felt fully in control of my rapidly-decaying cognitive abilities. Containing the Latin prefix “anthro”, meaning human, how could I resist a short five-track romp with the theme of “human phobia?” I hate humans, and you should too!

The Smiling Faces: ‘Don’t Ever Talk to Me Again’ [album review]
by Logan Lowrey-Rasmussen
–
Although I had the pleasure of meeting Matt Oliviero and Michael Oden from The Smiling Faces and, more recently, of Vintage Clothes, I didn’t get the chance to listen to their August-released LP, Don’t Ever Talk to Me Again, until recently when frontman and guitarist Eric Gallagher brought it to my physical Facebook-attention. The album, which makes me feel like Dave Grohl in “Walk” both musically and lyrically, contains vocal chaos among smart, instrumental qualities Frasier Crane could enjoy…
