This month, Localized presents genre-tampering Cavedoll and neo-psychedelic The Furs. Cavedoll Camden Chamberlain
Regina Spektor Show Review
Relaxing is not the first word that jumps to anyone’s mind when describing your typical show at In The Venue. But, then again, Regina Spektor has proved time and time again that she is anything but the typical performer. … read more
Nightwish/Paradise Lost Show Review
To say Nightwish put on the best show I’ve ever seen would be a gross understatement. This Finnish metal band with the majority of their US fanbase seemingly underground has made their way into the states for the first time in their 11-year career, and it’s all due to a recent member change that has left the group stronger than ever. … read more
Vampire Weekend
Shame on any of you who considered going to this show and then made some lame excuse about the weather. Sure, there was the large possibility of your tin-can car dying, or better yet, crashing on unplowed roads. Sure, you’d rather stay warm in bed than huddle around the fire pit or cram into the shack at Kilby. … read more
Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s

Local Reviews: City Weekly Compilation

Let’s Go to Utah
Nightmares, wild-eyed vigilantes, local music cameos and a mysterious yet deadly stretch of desert are just a few of the things Dave Chisholm’s comic series, Let’s Go To Utah, offers. … read more
Localized: The Warlocks and The Black Angels – June 2008
Localized will transpire the very next evening—the second Saturday of the month, June 14 so write it down somewhere where you won’t forget and (as always) is just five bucks at the door. … read more

Repo! Repossessing The Modern Rock Opera
Picture the future: it’s the year 2056. The medical companies are thriving, financing any and all operations imaginable. Kidneys, eyes, spines, faces, breasts—you name it. However, congress has just made it legal for organs to be repossessed, so miss a payment and a man will show up at your door to take back that liver and whatever else you signed up for. Now that you’ve got a clear vision in your head, there’s only one thing left to do: put it to music. … read more
