Localized: Cavedoll
This month’s Localized, on October 12th at the Urban Lounge, features two bands who push the envelope when it comes to trying something new, whether it’s mixing styles (and their own tracks) or introducing a musical movement to Salt Lake City. This month, Localized presents genre-tampering Cavedoll and neo-psychedelic The Furs. Cavedoll Camden Chamberlain
Viva La Bands Preview
You know him from Jackass and his other MTV show Viva La Bam, now Bam Margera is attempting to make his mark in the music world. His show always harbored his love for music, mainly metal, be it his unflinching love for H.I.M. or the episodes of his show that included Slayer playing a party at his house… … read more
Two Gallants Show Review
I first became aware of Two Gallants because I was blessed enough to have their last album, What The Toll Tells, put in my box for a review right before it was released. … read more
Subhumans Show Review
As I walked into Club Sound, a sigh of relief washed over me as I realized that I hadn’t been arrested yet. It’s not that I find myself getting arrested on a regular basis, nor do I have a warrant on my head, but the last time I was assigned to review a show, I found myself in handcuffs 20 minutes before the doors opened. … read more

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not one of those “Modest Mouse sold out!” kinds of people; in fact, almost the opposite. I’m stoked they have a few radio songs here and there-good for them! … read more
Strung Out Show Review
I should really know better than to show up at In the Venue at the advertised start time. Doors were supposed to open for this show at 7, so I decide to show up around 7:30 only to be greeted by a giant fucking line of people still waiting to get in. … read more
Mastodon Show Review
For the many times I have seen Mastodon play, this was the first time I was completely sober. Listening to them through this clearer mindset just reaffirmed why I like them so. However, with this new album and new set of songs they seem to be reaching for a different sound than their earlier recordings.. All the regular dramatics are still present. … read more
Stray Cats Show Review
This was the Stray Cat’s first tour in a decade. No one has really cared about the The Pretenders since the early 80s. ZZ Top has maintained their original members for more than 35 years. What do these three aging bands have in common? … read more
