Shows

Wednesday, (8/29) Magnolia Electric Co. and Band of Annuals will be country slaying the Urban Lounge as slowly and delicately as possible for you.

Friday, (8/31) Sees another visit from Sleepy Time Gorilla Museum at the Urban Lounge (It seems like they were just here!). So yeah, get a dose of experimental rock from the oddly named troupe.

Saturday, (9/1) In the Venue will premier the first Fixed Gears Festival (which appears to be two standard shows wrapped into one with the word 'festival' slapped on top). Headliners Ben Kweller and hip hop star P.O.S. will be leading their respective supporting peoples through a pretty fantastic Salt Lake show. I’m excited for this one.

Shows This Week

After last weeks dream teams at The Gallivan Center and The Depot, and the local band bombardment provided at Slowtrain’s 1 year anniversary (happy birthday!) we have an early week recuperation. For those who do regain energy for live music, this weekend seems pleasant enough. Friday, July 27th, is Kilby Court’s anniversary bash providing tunes, most notably, from northwestern DIY folk popper turned inspirational speaker, Jason Anderson. If you haven’t seen him live you may be in for a surprise, and you may possibly make a new best friend. It's endless energy and endless positive vibes. Emo rockers need not apply.

Saturday, July 28th, In The Venue will be suplying the evening's fun with Ex-Polyphonic Spree/Illinoisemaker, St. Vincent, with Scout Niblett and local opener Kid Theodore. A solid all ages show that is getting a bit of buzz.

Saturday, July 28th, head to the Urban Lounge after St. Vincent because this thing is sure to have not started by then. Dead Horse Point, Band of Annuals and Cub Country will be providing all the Americana you’ll need for the next month.
