AZoverload Blog

Everyone (myself included) loves to bitch about how crappy the music scene in AZ is.  We complain about the clubs, the promoters, the lack of opportunities, and…well, some of the bands.  So what do we do when we get an awesome opportunity to spread the word about AZ music and the bands?!?! 

Every Friday night at Midnight, AZ time, o22 brings us local music videos, hosted by our favorite local bands. The bands pay nothing to have their videos played on the show, but to be a guest host they must have a brand new, never released video to play on the night they host o22.

Thursday, October 18, o22 is having a party at PHASE 54, off Priest and Elliot in Tempe. This gathering is to try and convince PHASE 54 to help sponsor the show, so o22 can continue to be a bridge for local talent to mass exposure for free. Produced by our friend, Bryan Matuskey, there is only so far he can take the show without money from sponsors, so please AZ bands try to make it out and help o22 help you. You can also make monetary donations to o22 by clicking the banner posted on this page. Listen to our interview with Bryan by clicking on the media player below (it’s about 9 minutes) and listen live Wednesday October, 17th as he will be calling in with more information on what you can do to help o22 and keep them on the air.

O22 is an amazing outlet available to all.  Even  better, it’s a highly professional program with a true concern for the support of AZmusic.  This is not your typical cheezy, low budget, local access show that only uses itself as a vehicle for promoting it’s own interests and ego…this show is about you and your music…so what are you going to do?
