Dear West Jordan, This Is Your Community: Miguel Galaz
Miguel Galaz has been working to teach youth about art for the last few years in afterschool programs as a teacher at the Mana Academy, and going out to work on interactive projects in the community. When a close friend was working to turn an old building that had hosted a number of restaurants
Jagermeister Music Tour
After only minor threats from the bouncer doing searches at the door, I was going to make sure that I had my photo pass. If I were seen taking pictures without it I would be forcibly removed (to put it lightly). … read more
Bob Weir & Ratdog @ The Depot
Yeah, BO is a naturally occurring phenomenon at shows, but when it already smells like post-show body funk during my pre-show drink, we have a problem. There is also something to be said about any show involving a former member of the Grateful Dead that does not allow smoking. … read more
Plan-B Theatre-Radio Hour: Alice
Disney’s interpretation of Alice In Wonderful added enough fluff to make the twisted story easy to swallow for generations to come. Matthew Ivan Bennett, who wrote the Radio Hour adaptation, had something else in mind—something much more twisted, more graphic, and much more intense. … read more
Puscifer @ Capitol Theatre
Arriving at the Capitol Theatre, I knew that I was in for something other than a “typical Tool show.” The pat-down at the door was the same, and the other people waiting in line were the same, but the upscale sit-down venue caused an overall sense of mystery and curiosity among my fellow patrons. Puscifer is the newest project of Tool and A Perfect Circle front man Maynard James Keenan. … read more
Primus @ The Rail
Going into this show I had no idea what to expect. I’d already seen Primus at the Snocore Music Tour in 1998 and they put on a great show with a random line up of punk, ska, and reggae bands.

Both bands seem to be composed of crazy people and attract crazy fans. … read more
Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Experience @ The Depot 05.21
I wasn’t sure what to think. If it’s an “experience,” doesn’t that usually mean that it’s a cover band? Well, this experience is led by Jason Bonham, the son of the late John Bonham, the actual drummer from Led Zeppelin. So is he cashing in on his dad’s cred? … read more
Who Likes Short Shorts? Film Festival @ The Post Theatre...
There are no clear rules in short films, so what do you look for when watching one: story, art, length? The Who Likes Short Shorts Film Festival, which began screening submissions from local filmmakers in fall of 2010, features short films focusing on wide ranging subjects in all genres. … read more
The 48 Hour Film Project Awards Ceremony 06.30
You want to make a movie, but you have nothing: no one cast, nothing written and you have 48 hours to do it. Go. … read more
A Perfect Circle, Red Bacteria Vacuum @ Kingsbury Hall 08.01
I don’t know why I’m always thrown off seeing a rock show in a venue such as Kingsbury Hall or the Capitol Theatre. Something about the glitz and glamour in contrast to the dingy concert tees and occasional bout of body odor throws my concert sensors off for some reason. … read more
