We Are Scientists @ Kilby Court 04.29 with Paws
A band from New York and a band from Scotland got together and played for an audience in Utah recently. This event took place at Kilby Court on Tuesday, April 29 and was the most fun I’ve had in cul-de-sac since grade school. The evening held the last bit of the spring chill, which in turn made the fire pit that much appealing. Yes, in the days before social networks, heat brought people together. … read more
Ghetto Ghouls @ Diabolical Records 04.28 with Lorelle Meets the...
Thwarting all the attempts of curing my rock ‘n’ roll psychosis, I am lured to the most visited alleyway in Salt Lake City. It’s Monday night—I need music to feed my soul. … read more

The Glitch Mob at The Complex 04.28 with Penthouse Penthouse,...
For what it’s worth, I’ve never been disappointed by their shows, whether it be in front of a few thousand in the Sahara Tent at Coachella or in front of fifteen people at a secluded Burning Man sound camp. The group always impresses and takes an electronic show to the next level by actually performing rather than simply DJ’ing to a room full of people. … read more
Of Feather and Bone @ Shred Shed 04.25 with Centuries,...
When I got the call to head to a last-minute show Friday night, featuring amazing Denver grindcore band Of Feather and Bone, how could I say no? Finals week be damned! … read more
MOBB DEEP @ URBAN LOUNGE 04.24 WITH DJ JUGGY, CIG...
These words were hurled at me from a man about to kick my teeth in. At the time it seemed sudden. With a little hindsight, though, I think the whole night led up to this very intense moment of truth. The stars were aligned, as it were, and the whole evening started simply enough: with the best Old Fashioned of my life. … read more
Temples @ Urban Lounge 04.21 with Drowners
Very few times in my career have I had my expectations blown out of the water. Usually I’m happy if they are met because they are quite lofty in the first place. Temples owned Urban Lounge that evening in a way those walls could barely hold them. … read more
Combichrist @ In The Venue 04.19 with Stich, New Year’s...
Salt Lake City Concerts had brought the We Love You Tour to town for a stop at my favorite place, In The Venue. The powerful line up consisted of Stich, New Year’s Day, William Control and Combichrist. I was given a few moments to sit down and pick the brain of the headliner’s front man Andy LaPlegua before the show and reached a new level of inspiration by what he had to say. … read more
Callow @ Bar Deluxe 04.19 with Ike Fonseca, Aaron Walcott,...
Bar Deluxe is the little big bar in Salt Lake—they don’t seem to get the same press as other clubs or the same caliber bands coming through, but it’s a great space–open and inviting–and has a great view of the stage from all sides. … read more
CHVRCHES @ The Depot 04.22 with The Range
Glasgow-based synthpop trio Chvrches are a bombastic, bleedin’ indie-at-heart spectacle. Their hooks and heart soar song after song on their 2013 debut album, The Bones of What You Believe, and they’re not stopping short in any part of their global pop ascendancy. They passed through Salt Lake City on their U.S. tour to played a sold-out show at The Depot last Tuesday. … read more
