Everything eventually comes to an end and last night the collective, revolving quagmire that is the Vile Blue Shades called it the end of the road after playing one last show for Will’s birthday. A little box on the interweb can no way capture the live show but here it is in all it’s blue tinted glory….
Maybe I should say the monthly local from now on… A couple weeks back Dave Payne and Charlie Lewis joined the Tolchok Trio guys to kick off this year’s Downtown Farmers Market. The weather was a little on the crappy side but they managed to pull off two sets on the City Weekly Music at the Market mini stage.
There’s some pretty good wind noise on this one but it was pretty low tech, a canon elph on a mini pod – it doesn’t sound to bad considering. Rumor has it they will be playing some more shows with this lineup, you should check it out.
For those who missed it this past Saturday the Night Sweats opened for Laserfang who opened for the Red Bennies at the Urban. Once again we gave the live webcast thing a go and thanks to Cory, now know that you can watch the liveness on your brophone or droidbot. Unfortunately the saved shows are still flash so until ustream starts using html5 or Mr Jobs and Adobe become friends you have to be on the old computer.
So here’s Laserfang, it took a second to get the audio down so be patient it sounds like poo for about the first minute then sounds good. You can also check out the Night Sweats here and Red Bennies here.
Next up is The Devil Whale‘s “Young Wives” ep release Saturday June 12th. Go check it out at Urban or catch it here: www.ustream.tv/captninetoe
UPDATE….Unfortunately you can’t watch the clips on iphones- or at least no as of now…..
After not keeping up with this for the dozen(s) who keep track, decided a rainy wednesday was a perfect time to try out this webcaster thing I’ve heard about. The Red Bennies were playing a record release type thing down at Urban so figured they would be a good test monkey. Didn’t realize there was a slight delay in recording to the server so it starts partway thru the first song, but what can you do..
For those of you who missed it either in person or on this interweb thing, you can check it out below. You can check the Plastic Furs in a lovely shade of blue and Cornered by Zombies as they slightly turn red at times. Hey, it’s the first go.
it’s the local weekly and as always I’ve been slacking or actually spacing on this lately.
Yesterday morning Jay Henderson from Band of Annuals stopped by KRCL and played a couple of new songs, one of them have names yet so I suppose this is untitled number 3?

Still slacking on things, actually been kinda busy so haven’t been out and about lately so it’s another from the archives- Tolchok at Gallivan. Actually this one is thanks to gogo inflight wireless, on a flight to Reno for last USSA event of the year and remembered about a credit to try it out. But that’s neither here nor there, it is kinda rad to be able to watch stupid videos online while at 30,000 feet though.
This is also the double down, figure since I’m slacking might as well post two things that you may have missed.
First off is Tolchok Trio at Gallivan last year- for those who don’t know the much beloved Twilight Concert Series is making a mini road trip while the Galivan Center is getting a facelift, so now all of you who go to hang out and ignore the bands will be able to see what you aren’t paying attention to.
If you haven’t got a chance to go check them out yet, you should. Speaking of things that the people of SLC slept on was Mike Watt at Bar Deluxe. If you don’t know who Watt is then I probably don’t want to be your friend -I’m sure a large chunk of your BFF bands know who he is, OG all the way. Next time you hear one of his incarnations stops thru town do yourself a favor and swing by.
Before you stop by Bar Deluxe swing by Rice Fusion on State Street and get the Kung Pao Vegetarian Chicken it’s only 7 beans at lunch – super good yo.
Who knows, one day I might actually stay on top of this this thing.
Next up is City Dogs…
gots to go, need to shut down soon.

Yeah, so I pretty much suck at keeping things up to date which I suppose is kindof the purpose of these things. There was a lot going on up in Canadia and I got sidetracked then upon return to SLC had to locate my camera which took the scenic route home without me. We’ve since been reunited just in time for it’s replacement to be delivered and finally making the switch to tapeless so maybe things might be sped up a bit. We’ll see.
So enough with the excuses…. here’s something from the archives. A couple months back Andale! played at Bar Deluxe opening for the Debi Graham Band here’s a version of “when you were mine” by Prince. How can you not like Prince or Andale! for that matter…
let’s see if I can stay on top of things for at least a month.
Suppose there’s not much to these things if one never actually posts anything so here’s something…
and this one might be a bit ambitious but lets see how it goes.
The goal is to post a weekly clip from a local SLC band or sometimes possibly someone I think is rad playing a Salt Lake show. A few weeks back Cub Country played the CWMA showcase at A Bar Named Sue, judging from the crowd it looked like unless you happened to be a Murryvale resident you probably missed it so here you go.
The next couple post will have to be from the archives as well, I’m currently up north at an event you may of caught a glimpse of but I hear the coverage has been sporatic in the states. Unless you’re a fan of figure skating that is.
