WRD: Midnight Terror vs. Rat City 09.23
Last Saturday I had the interesting pleasure of being at the Derby Depot, minus all the live derby action. Since the fabulous Midnight Terrors were able to make it to the Western Regional Playoffs, Salt Lake folks had the pleasure of watching the live feed of the Terrors play against Rat City of Seattle, Wash. … read more
Battle of the Bands Benefit @ Food & Care Coalition,...
Friday’s Battle was organized and hosted by the Food & Care Coalition to benefit their Provo facility that not only feeds over 100,000 people every year, but also provides those in need with showers, laundry, haircuts, job-seeking services and even chiropractic care. An organization that started as a group of local public officials, religious leaders and regular citizens who were concerned about the lack of services for Utah County’s homeless and low-income populations, the Coalition’s main focus is not only to feed these individuals, but to help them get on their feet with a myriad of services. This was the Center’s second year putting on such an event, following the success of last year’s edition. … read more

X96 Big Ass Show @ Gallivan Center 09.29.12
One my favorite things about Shrink the Giant’s performance was how lead singer Stefania Barr’s smile got wider and wider as the crowd began to fill in. By the end of their short set, she was beaming and most of the crowd was, too. It was hard not to like them and a lot of it had to do with Barr’s demeanor. … read more
Rob Zombie & Marilyn Manson @ USANA 10.01
Monday night’s adventure into evil with Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson at West Valley’s USANA Amphitheater was a good way to kick off the cooling temperatures of fall and celebrate a month that is already obsessed with horror and devilry. If you judge the crowd’s fun level at the show on Monday night, it was in maximum overdrive. It was a visual spectacle, and I doubt any folks who spent hard-earned cash walked out of the show disappointed. … read more

Burton: 13 Movie Review
Burton as a brand has always been notoriously easy to hate because of their dominance over the industry. But there is a reason they are what they are. Burton does things right or they don’t do it at all. … read more
Morbid Angel, Dark Funeral, Grave @ The Complex 10.08
Some days, I really feel older than I actually am, and lately I feel it more and more. If I had seen this show in my teens or early 20s, it probably would’ve been something I’d be bat-shit crazy for. For the trio of bands, I was content nodding my head and mouthing lyrics. I managed to score a stool in the bar section of the Grand at the Complex and got to sit on my crippled ass and watch some good old death metal, with for some reason, a really bland black metal band on Monday, October 8. … read more
Red Bull Rampage: The Evolution @ Virgin, UT 10.07
The acrid taste of dust fills the air as we scramble up the trail to the venue. It is just after eight in the morning and the final day of the Red Bull Rampage: The Evolution is almost underway. Since 2001, this invite-only event has been held in the deserts of Virgin, Utah. … read more
