Chromeo @ Red Butte Gardens 05.27 with ODESZA, Classixx
I wish we had more venues like the Red Butte Amphitheater in Salt Lake—partly because it’s beautiful but also because I’m a total homebody these days and love to be in bed by midnight. Red Butte satisfies both my lazy girl and socialite lifestyles in one outdoorsy package. … read more

The English Beat @ The Depot 05.21 with The Interrupters,...

Dan Deacon @ Urban Lounge 05.10 with Prince Rama, Ben...
What a weird night. I joined a cult (under the name Kanye’s Pet—my DJ name) that worships a bottle of soap and watched a girl make out with a picture of a Nascar driver onstage. … read more

Kevin Seconds @ Raunch Records 05.09 with Greg Bennick, Regan...
I continued through the poster-covered hallway and turned the corner to see Marky Terror sporting his Gretsch Hollow Body electric guitar, while him and everyone in the shop were mouthing the lyrics, “Just because you’re better than me doesn’t mean I’m lazy. Just because you’re going forward doesn’t mean I’m going backward.” … read more
