Riot Fest 2015
Arriving at Riot Fest 2015 in Denver, I can’t appreciate the certain irony of the “death before shorts” mantra that I live by. It’s hot as hell, and living by that code may, in fact, be the end of me. … read more

Mudson Leaps Into Its Fifth Anniversary Season
During Mudson’s final installation at the Masonic Temple, Breeanne Saxton—currently a guest dancer for Ririe-Woodbury through the fall season—performed an in-progress work that dealt with processing a death in her family. By the end of the piece, Saxton folded up small but precious objects into a towel and smashed them. The piece was well received:

Localized: Temples and The Salt, The Sea and The Sun...
This month’s Localized features the spastic math-pop of Provo’s The Salt, The Sea, and The Sun God, headliner Temples’ sprawling post-rock, and openers Tavaputs. If you have a taste for the slightly obtuse or like to get lost in a wave of sonic overload, then this one is probably for you. The show is Thursday,

Clark Thomas: For The Love Of The Board
I first caught sight of Clark Thomas about a year ago when he took home the gold at the Fifth Annual Roughside of the Tracks contest, Roughside V. Though there were plenty of dudes killing it, I kind of knew from the start that Thomas was going to get the top spot. I first noticed

Repertory Dance Theatre: Salient at 50
Hasty comparisons are frequently made between Repertory Dance Theatre, Utah’s first modern dance company, and other local companies. As RDT celebrates its half-century contribution to the Utah arts scene, SLUG spoke with Linda C. Smith, a performer and choreographer with RDT since 1966, and now its current Executive and Artistic Director. Smith denies that RDT

New Order: World In Motion
There are bands that leave a mark on their generation, and then there is New Order. Igniting a career of perseverance following the suicide of Joy Division vocalist Ian Curtis, New Order wound post-punk alienation and the pleasure of the dancefloor into always unconventional pop songs, crafting themselves the musical pulse of their time.
