Rest In Peace Lux Interior
When Lux Interior of The Cramps hit the stage, he commanded you to watch him. Sadly, it’s a spectacle the world will never have the chance to see again. Lux Interior died on Feb. 4 at the age of 62 from aortic dissection. … read more

Can’t Stop This Runaway Train
This king of juke joint swing’s sole purpose has been to put out stellar record after stellar record of his own blend of honky tonk, jazz and rockabilly. He also tours his ass off and plays each show like there’s no tomorrow. … read more

Geek Show Us All
Kerry Jackson of X96’s Radio From Hell and his cohorts have gathered in his basement and constructed a podcast that not only covers news of the sci-fi world and beyond, but has been entertaining enough to garner 20,000 plus downloads per episode. I had to see for myself what these geeks had been up to, so I ventured alone into the basement of a seemingly normal home and entered the world of the geek. … read more

Swingin’ Utters: Back in the Swing of Things
Though the Swingin’ Utters haven’t released a studio album since 2003, they’ve released a live album, a b-sides/rarities compilation, and earlier this year a tribute record was released. With news that the band will be releasing a new 7” entitled Brand New Lungs on June 22, a new album coming this Fall and extensive touring in the near future, I felt the need to get an interview with Utters’ guitarist/multi-instrumentalist/songwriter Darius Koski and to get his thoughts. … read more
Derek Hunter
For over seven years, Derek Hunter has been one of the few independent comic writers in Salt Lake. His flagship title, Pirate Club, features twisted tales of youngsters roaming the streets of their small town looking for adventure. Hunter, with a dozen or so friends, also informally hosts a weekly Tuesday draw night at Nobrow Coffee. The group recently decided to parlay the fruits of draw night into an art show that’ll be held at Nobrow on August 20. The night will double as Hunter’s debut of his new autobiographic comic––Derek Hunter is A Fuck. … read more

A Craftsman at Heart
Driving around Salt Lake, it’s easy to see that we have a healthy tattoo community. A copious number of shops have infested the landscape, and it can be difficult to sort out quality from the tremendous quantity. Heart of Gold Tattoo has that quality in spades. Owner Jon McAffee, a 10-year veteran of the Salt Lake tattoo terrain, has worked in shops like Apparition Ink and Oni, and recently entered a new stage of his career last September when he opened Heart of Gold Tattoo. … read more
You, Me and The Devil: The Devil Makes Three
Drawing from folk, hot jazz, all types of acoustic music and just enough edge to put punk on the list, The Devil Makes Three is a one-of-a-kind act that has been spellbinding audiences around the country. This drummer-less three-piece conjures up thoughts of Depression-era sting and jug bands, but remains relevant to the present day. I had a chance to talk to frontman Pete Bernhard about the genesis of such a band and where The Devil Makes Three fits in this contemporary music scene. … read more
