Appleseed Cast, Kathryn Calder, Hospital Ships @ Urban 11.09
The five-piece Kansas outfit known as Appleseed Cast came back to Utah to grace us with their presence for the second time this year on November 8.

Back Chat, Chasing Kings, Holy Water Buffalo, John-Ross Boyce &...
This was one of several Halloween shows at Velour, and the venue was upgraded from its usual creepy chapel decor to goofy-scary chapel with the help of Frankenstein behind the drum set and a large skull above the stage. … read more
