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

Burch’s voice can move up the octave scale from a twangy, marble-mouthed drawl to an impressive Jeff Buckley howl in a strained falsetto that pushes the recording into the red in a few quick movements. … read more
Local Review: Echodog – Mine
Echodog reeks with potential. With a short five-track album, these locals know how to play. Each track is rock-oriented, with the exception of “Mine,” which feels more along the lines of acoustic, alternative coffee-shop rock—not that that’s a bad thing. … read more
