More Than Just A Party: 128 Beats Per Minute
For photographer Shane McCauley, 128 Beats Per Minute is a book based on what he describes as his three-year vacation—a time where he toured across the world with DJ and music producer Diplo, and his only responsibility was doing what he loved: taking photos. “I wanted to make this book about dance culture. I didn’t just want it to be a book about Diplo; I wanted it be about this music culture and this music movement,” he says. … read more
Demigods: Alas, Behemoth is Upon Me
Calling it his “most precious child,” Behemoth’s guitarist and vocalist Nergal doesn’t feel like reducing his music to a simple catchphrase. “I just grab my guitar, and pour all my emotions into new riffs and new songs, and the last thing I care about is whether it’s in the ‘blackened death metal’ box,” he says. “Behemoth is Behemoth.” Though recent years have posed a slew of trials for the band—especially Nergal’s leukemia diagnosis in 2010— he emphasizes that Behemoth is a “tight, solid unit again.” … read more

Blitzen Trapper and The Parson Red Heads @ The State...
Americana ensembles The Parson Red Heads and Blitzen Trapper visited Salt Lake City on March 22 for a sold out show at the State Room. When I got to the State Room, I noticed that I, as a beard grower and flannel shirt wearer, was contributing to the majority. The average age of the attendees confirmed my conviction that Americana is for old people, and by “old,” I mean early to mid-thirties. You know, old people. … read more

The Dunwells @ Kilby 03.25
For whatever reason, there was a very small turnout to see The Dunwells, a five-piece group from Leeds, England. The handful of people who did show up for the show, however, witnessed some of the finest harmonies to bounce off the cheap, makeshift walls of Kilby Court in a long time. … read more
