The Starlight Lounge was absolutely electric on July 28th as four of the hottest hard rock bands in the area took the stage for an epic night of music. The lineup included: Matteo Amaretto, Rad Stacey, Another Days Demons, Arsenic Kitchen, King Summer, and Avarist. Sadly, I had an early call time the next morning at sunrise so I, unfortunately, had to miss the last two bands- hope to catch & capture them live asap!
In addition to the amazing music, there was also concert photography by Anjeanette Photography and V.I.P. packages available. V.I.P. packages included admission to all bands, merch packages, meals, and an after-party.
The bands all supported each other throughout the night, and the crowd was absolutely loving it. It was a night of great music, great people, more than a little head-banging whiplash, and great memories. If you're a fan of hard rock, then you definitely need to check out these bands. Their live performances are not to be missed.
MATTEO AMARATTO

THIS UP-AND-COMING BAND IS BRINGING THEIR BRAND OF MELODIC HARD ROCK TO THE STAGE WITH CATCHY SONGS AND LIVE PERFORMANCES FULL OF ENERGY, INCLUDING THEIR HIT SINGLE, "LOVESICK." HAILING FROM COTTONWOOD AND SEDONA ARIZONA, MATTEAO AMARETTO OPENED THE GLENDALE EVENT WITH THEIR ETHEREAL AND UNIQUE "Post-Vaporwave Protestant Shoegaze Emo Pop". I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE WHAT ALL OF THAT THAT MEANS, BUT THEIR SET WAS EVERYTHING LOVELY, SAD AND ROCKING TOO. REMINDED ME A LITTLE OF LATE 80'S GERMAN POST-PUNK, MAYBE A DASH OF GRIFFIN WASHBURN IYKYK, BUT WHAT DO I KNOW I JUST TAKE THE PHOTOS AND ENJOY THE SOUND!
RAD STACEY

NEXT ON STAGE, RAD STACEY delivered a heavy and melodic SET. THEY GOT THE CROWD MOVING WITH POWERFUL MUSIC AND DUEL LEAD VOCALS. RAD STACEY is known for its high-energy live shows and its catchy, HONEST songs and haS quickly become one of the most popular up-and-coming bands in the Arizona scene.
ANOTHER DAYS DEMONS

Another Days Demons have released In 2021, we released two singles "Let The Wolves Run Free" and "Stranger Things", and have toured extensively throughout Arizona.

ARSENIC KITCHEN

LOVED BEING STAGE FRONT TO PHOTOGRAPH ARSENIC KITCHEN LIVE, THEIR ENERGY AND THE CROWD GOING WILD ALL AROUND ME WAS AMAZING TO BE A PART OF! This theatrical hard rock band is known FROM PHOENIX TO TUCSON, AND ALL OVER THE COUNTRY FROM THEIR TOURS for their high-energy live shows, and their catchy, anthemic songs. They opened the show with a bang, getting the crowd moving with their ORIGINAL trackS AND FAN FAVORITE COVERS. RECENTLY WE MET UP AT THE FAMOUS SALTMINE STUDIO OASIS IN MESA WHERE THEY WERE RECORDING SO I COULD GET FOOTAGE FOR THEIR NEWEST VIDEO FOR THE SONG "ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR" DEBUTING SOON!

Hi, I’m Anjeanette — a concert and live music photographer based in Phoenix, Arizona. What started as a love for local shows turned into a profession that allows me to merge sound and imagery. Capturing the emotion, chaos, and rhythm of live performances. From underground venues to larger stages, I focus on telling the story of artists, fans, and the connection they share. Each photo session is a collaboration — an opportunity to freeze the feeling of the music and the energy of the crowd. I believe concert photography is more than documenting — it’s storytelling. I look for authentic moments: a quiet pause before the encore, the instant a spotlight hits a guitar string, or the way an audience reacts to a familiar song. My editing style is cinematic and gem toned vibrant, preserving the atmosphere of the night while keeping the emotion real.
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m a portrait photographer for high school and college seniors, headshots, or collaborating with local creatives. Supporting the Phoenix music scene means everything to me — I work closely with bands, venues, promoters, and festivals to build lasting partnerships that celebrate our local talent.
