Danzig Show Review
Seeing as this is my first show review, let me get this out of the way before I go on: if your shitty band decides to absolutely slaughter a Cure song, keep it in the privacy of your own basement. That being said, the band that opened the show – Suicide City or some such juvenile bullshit – must have sucked a load of cock to get on this bill. … read more
Thrice Show Review
After a 25 minute drive out to no man’s land, I exited the freeway to wait in a line of cars slowing to pay $5 and to be told where to park because there is no option to park anywhere else without the threat of being towed. I was thankful for the fact that I had a press pass for the show because of the ridiculous service charges added to the ticket price. … read more
Hip-Hop Live Tour Review
When I first heard about the Hip Hop Live tour, I thought to myself, Ghostface Killah, Rakim, Brother Ali in Utah with a ten-piece live band? This is going to be better than a private helicopter for grocery shopping. I rolled into Harry O’s to see Barbie dolls on the prowl, who’s who in the Utah ski and snowboard scene, popped collars trying new dance moves and the valley gangsters perusing the scene. … read more

Local Review: The Electric Pubes – mc.EP; The Electric Pubes...
The Electric Pubes EP is presented in high-quality homemade printer paper CD sleeves. Sure, these guys clearly didn’t put a lot of money into their creation, but for what they lack in cold cash, they certainly make up in energy, creativity, and ridiculously massive balls. … read more
Busdriver with Daedelus and Antimc
I’ll skip my rants about In the Venue’s penchant for always booking a large crowd show and a small crowd show (trying to hear the small show over the din of said large show is impossible) and just say thanks for leaving me and every other journalist off the Liars/Interpol list. … read more
Atmosphere, Lucky I Am, Grayskul, Mac Lethal
This was a show were the music is so damned good that the idiots in the crowd didn’t matter. The 16-year-old couple standing in front of me, that were basically having sex, disappeared. The girls behind me that were desperately trying to push there way up front even though there wasn’t room for a flea near the stage didn’t bother me. … read more
