Are You Obsessed? – Scott “Wino” Weinrich of The Obsessed
Scott “Wino” Weinrich discusses The Obsessed’s reunification, the new record, a bit of Wino’s history with music and even a little bit about a supergroup that he was involved with called Shrinebuilder. … read more
Funky Junk: Shenanigans and Sustainable Living with the JenkStars
There are many different branches to our underground community, and all of them have important messages with positive goals to achieve. I was lucky enough to sit down with a group of the Jenkstars community and chat with them about their upcoming event, Building Man, which will take place this May 4–7 at The Jenkstar Ranch. … read more

Foxygen rose to fame in part due to their incredibly witty and raucous album, We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic, and in part because of their explosive, theatrical, at times completely fucked-up, dramatic live performances. Thus, I was somewhat anxious and feverishly excited to have the opportunity to see them live here in Salt Lake in support of their most recent release, Hang. … read more
Tinariwen, Dengue Fever @ The State Room 04.07
Tinariwen with the support of Dengue Fever was not a show to be missed. Both groups capture the aspects of music that require no translation. They perform with humility and with grace. … read more
