Austin Psych Fest ran from May 8 to May 10, featuring psych rock legends and newcomers alike in a three day festival of hazy riffs, amplifier feedback and unrelenting fuzz. … read more
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
Foster the People @ The Complex 05.12 with Milo Greene
Foster the People plays at The Complex in SLC. UT. … 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.

They Might Be Giants @ The Depot 05.05
One of the coolest things about being a They Might Be Giants fan is the knowledge that it doesn’t really matter what era the band is in, how many times you’ve seen them or even if you like their latest album—their live shows kick all sorts of humorous ass. … read more
Sometimes, Life Feels Like a Story: David Sedaris @ Kingsbury...
We hear a lot about author and humorist David Sedaris’ incisive wit and genius storytelling. Until he visited Salt Lake as the final installment of Kingsbury Hall’s season, it never occurred to me just how impressive it was that Sedaris could fill up an auditorium by, essentially, reading his stories aloud. … read more
