SLUG 13TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY

SLUG 13TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY

By Alex Wells Posted 01/31/2002 If only to be among the first to eyeball SLUG Queen Jenn Buchanan’s mondo-sexy February centerfold (and even see her jump out of a birthday cake), the street mag’s 13th anniversary bash should be a priority in any serious scenester’s Palm Pilot (yes, they have ’em now).

SLUG QUEEN PAGEANT 2002

By Bill Frost Posted 08/29/2002 It’s been a year since Jenn Buchanan was crowned the SLUG Queen, our virginal vision of the local underground scene-is there a woman up to the challenge of filling Miss SLUG 2001’s royal C-cups?

On Any Sunday – Hazy memories of SLUG Sabbathons past.

By Randy Harward Posted 08/19/2004 Number nine … number nine … number nine … Yup, folks, while it seems like SLUG Magazine’s local-rock Sabbathon fund-raiser fests should be now be numbered in three-place Roman numerals a la the Super Bowl, they’re only on "numero nueve." I can’t pretend to remember the first, but my first

Slugging it out – SLUG Magazine speaks up for Utah’s...

By Rosemary Winters June 26, 2005 A tall guy in black pants jumps off the stage and shrieks indecipherable lyrics into the microphone clenched in his fist.
