Tycho @ Mohawk 03.13
“Stare at the ceiling and think” kinda music. I don’t smoke weed or eat mushrooms, so that’s what Tycho does for me––provides a nice soundtrack to dive deep into my brain and untangle the kinks. … read more

Beautiful Godzilla: SXSW Edition
As part of my SXSW experience, I participated in SXcycles, the new (as of this year) bike share program provided by the festival and Tern bikes. They opened it up to those with badges and wristbands during the Interactive portion of SXSW, and I was lucky enough to catch the tail end of it on Monday and Tuesday. … read more

Night Beats @ Buffalo Billiards 03.14
I checked out Night Beats in Salt Lake City about a week before heading down to Austin.

Ume @ The Bat Bar 03.13
The stage at The Bat Bar was set up right against the front window, which was as big as the entire wall and completely open to the outside. The crowd inside was instantly mirrored on the other end of the stage outside the window, and though they could’ve easily grabbed the drummer around the waist and pulled her out with her entire kit, they were up close and personal with what makes Ume a band you’re not gonna want to miss: front woman Lauren Larson. … read more
