Things I forgot about pt1 – STARMY getting SLAMMY’d at the Zephyr

November 12, 2011

The title could actually mean many things, primarily that I still have this site floating around the interweb and should maybe post things or let it fade into oblivion.  During a recent move I decided to go thru some boxes of old miniDV tapes and I have a lot of them – not quite like the kid in American Beauty but close. The difference is instead of shots of floating plastic bags and the neighbor changing clothes (however, I did have a super cute neighbor a while back so that may have been a missed opportunity but that would have been a bit weird anywho I’m getting sidetracked…..)  I have a bunch of tapes of skate comps and local bands all shot in glorious 4×3 standard def.

One such tape is STARMY from the SLAMMY Awards at the Zephyr, the date stamp on it says Sept 2003 so going to go with that I do somewhat remember STARMY winning around then.  For those who don’t know, the Zephyr was one of the best places to see live bands in Salt Lake.  Morrisey kicked off a tour there and before they became self important jackasses, the Kings of Leon were a youngbuck opening band channeling the 70′s – bonus points for those who can name the band they opened for.   Sometime around 2004 it closed down to give the local rats and spiders a habitat with some much needed peace and quiet.

That’s my long winded story of, hey I found an old tape of STARMY at the Zephyr, here’s “Don’t look Back”

There’s a lot more random things I’m sure I’ll remember, hopefully I don’t forget to post them.

…oh yeah, one of them is JVC tapes suck

the random local – Tolchok Double Trio

June 28, 2010

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.
