Why? @ Club Sound
After standing in line for about 10 minutes with girls wearing nothing more than lingerie and those Sasquatch-like furry boots, I realized I was probably in line for the rave, not the Why? show. The real line for Why?, in fact, stretched around the building and half-way down 200 S. … read more
Frightened Rabbit @ The Urban Lounge
It’s not too often that us Utah folks get a good taste of live Scottish rock. Sure, The Proclaimers reared their ugly heads recently to the delight of many boring 30-something women. But while those dumb whores were cumming in their pants to the Reid brothers walking another 500 miles (worst fucking song ever), those of us in the know were dancing our pants off to not just one, but three bands hailing from the heart of Scotland. … read more
Thursday @ Club Sound
Arriving at In The Venue, I found the entrance locked and the distinct vocals of La Dispute’s Jordan Dreyer blaring from the doors of Club Sound to the north. Walking through the sparsely filled venue, I looked over at the tiny (and I really mean tiny) stage in bewilderment. “Is this the stage Thursday’s playing on?” I asked the kid next to me. Oooh yeeeah. … read more
JP’s Blog: Sea Wolf & Ladyhawke
Weekends like this last one come along only once every September and they should be celebrated. Club Sound hosted Sea Wolf on Friday and Perez Hilton Presents on Saturday. … read more
The Australian Pink Floyd Show @ USANA
I don’t claim to love Pink Floyd more than any other guy but if I’ve had a few drinks, Pink Floyd is one of the subjects I can often talk about until those around me are tired of hearing it. … read more
Set Your Goals @ Murray Theater
Let’s get this out of the way: I fucking love Set Your Goals. They’re fusion of pop-punk and hardcore topped off with positive lyrics shouldn’t work at all, but it’s really, really good. … read more

Warped Tour 09 Review
We went to the Boise, ID date of the 2009 Warped Tour so we wouldn’t miss Craft Lake City. It was basically like attending the show in SLC, but more people were wearing camo.

Giant Squid @ Burt’s Tiki Lounge
Music that is heavily riff-based and creates an atmosphere of oceanic depth weaved with elusive, yet interesting lyrics is a genre that is not exactly tapped out. After having the pleasure of seeing Giant Squid open up for Agalloch up in Portland, Oregon in 2006, I sure as hell wasn’t going to miss seeing them play their new material here in Salt Lake City. … read more
Cage @ The Urban Lounge
Despite my unfamiliarity with much of his material, Cage has always intrigued me due to his traumatic life experiences, D.I.Y. attitude and generally anti-hip hop approach to things. When I saw he was coming to town, I knew it was a show I didn’t want to miss. … read more
Mike Watt @ Bar Deluxe
If the concept of sincerity were to take human form, it would have a hard time being anything other than San Pedro’s Mike Watt. A onetime member of the Minutemen, fIREHOSE and most recently The Stooges (whose reforming he really should take credit for), Watt has never been able to do anything half way. … read more
