SLUG Slides Through SXSW
Last month was the time of year for another SLUG romp-down to the huge music festival South by Southwest (SXSW) for its 28th year of taking over the Music Capital of the World: Austin, Texas. SLUG caught some prolific, emerging and downright obscure acts to bring back home to the Beehive State. Read further for the lowdown on the good (or bad) stuff that stood out for our audiophile ears! … read more
St. Vincent @ The Depot 03.28 with Noveller
I remember seeing her frail body bouncing on the floor in front of green flashing lights. Being shocked again, I asked myself, “Who’s brave enough to close their set with a cover of the rowdiest punk song?” St. Vincent was—she does what she wants. … read more
Toadies @ Park City Live 03.28 with Battleme, The Supersuckers
The mid-‘90s was an odd time for rock music. The grunge scene was fading out and rock–n-roll’s sound was all over the place. In the middle of this eclectic fog came Texas rockers Toadies. Toadies were a perfect fit for the disheveled musical climate and the, now platinum, album Rubberneck gave rockers something to jump around to once again. Now, almost two decades later, Toadies are on a Rubberneck tribute tour, and on March 28 they decided to grace Park City with their presence. … read more
The Sounds @ In The Venue 03.29 with Blondfire, Strange...
There are a lot of “rock” bands around these days but, to be honest, rock and roll bands—groups that live, eat, drink and breathe the very meaning of rock and roll—they are an endangered species. Enter stage right, all the way from Sweden, The Sounds and their brash, loud, rowdy lead singer Maja Ivarsson. Clad in a short black cocktail dress, with a cigarette in her mouth and a pint in her hand, Ivarsson was an absolute wrecking ball from the moment she stepped on stage. … read more
The Glitch Mob @ BUKU Music & Arts Project 03.22
Following the release of their latest album, Love Death Immortality, just last month, the Los Angeles-based group took their tour to BUKU for a performance that left everyone in awe. … read more
SLUG Mag Gets Too BUKU
There’s just something about New Orleans. I think it might be the Cajun spice in the Gumbo, but the city just exuberates this attitude that I can’t explain. In a conversation with a local cab driver on my way to the BUKU Music & Arts Project, I mentioned that the city almost feels like a separate country. … read more
Treefort Music Festival 03.20-23
Just five hours to the north, through the enchanted land of highway juniper, roadside rivers, and abounding Perkins restaurants, a little festival was born. … read more
Ellie Goulding @ BUKU Music & Art Project 03.21
Ellie’s stage presence was wild and almost theatrical as she bounced in between belting out high notes to the few thousand people on the ground and pounding on the drums with equal passion. Whether you’re listening to Ellie from a pair of headphones trying to get lost in a beautiful place or in a live setting, you’ll have the same feeling of isolated bliss. … read more
Saga Outerwear Presents Odesza and High Counsel @ Urban Lounge...
Every once in a while, I tend to get to a point where my body needs to release itself through dance, so I’m often convinced to venture out of my little shell to break free and let go. I’ve been looking forward to seeing Odesza for quite a while now, knowing that it’d probably be the perfect cure to loosen me up, and I was far from let down with that expectation. … read more
