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.

Though the single “Better Off Dead” has been long out of print, making it a rarity, it is being given new life. “Better Off Dead” is well worth any rock n’ roll fans’ attention, as it is a perfect example of the raw energy that punk unleashed on the unsuspecting world in the 1970s. … read more
What Are The Odds? Local Artist Logan Madsen
Logan Madsen lives a life far from ordinary. He’s a brilliant artist, now a subject of a documentary film, promoted via a Kickstarter campaign … oh and yes, he has a very rare disease that only affects about 30 people globally.
