Golden Shoulders on 09.19

Posted on by Asha Pruitt

Adam Kline, more commonly known by his songwriting and performing name Golden Shoulders, has been writing songs, touring incessantly and recording music with a shockingly diverse line up of players over the last decade. I was pretty excited when SLUG asked me to go to a small house show he would be performing at in the ninth and ninth neighborhood where I live. I mostly was familiar with him because one of my favorite songwriters Joanna Newsom spent some of her formative years singing and contributing keys for the band. The idea of seeing him in a less official, more intimate venue where meeting him would be easy was appealing. … read more

Ririe-Woodbury: Polychromatic

Posted on by Asha Pruitt
Ririe-Woodbury - 80s Night live performance

This weekend marked the beginning of Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company’s 2011-12 season.  Last year’s final show was so colorful and imaginative it seemed reasonable to ask how the company could possibly supersede that prior spectacle. The company’s artistic director, Charlotte Boye-Christensen, was wise enough not to attempt such a feat. Rather, she courageously took the company in the opposite direction. While last night’s show bore the title Polychromatic, the set of pieces performed seemed considerably subdued compared to work produced by Ririe-Woodbury in recent seasons. … read more

Urban Gallery IV @ Neighborhood House 09.24-25

Posted on by Asha Pruitt

I didn’t go to the Urban Gallery last year, so when I got asked to cover the event this year, all my regrets of good times not had came bubbling to the surface. You see, a few of my friends did go, and they told me all about how much fun it was, how great the art was and how cheap the beer was. What they didn’t tell me about was Neighborhood House. … read more

Add a Dash of Local Art: George Gundlach

Posted on by Asha Pruitt

Each month, SLUG features a local artist and their work on the west wall of the café in Whole Foods at Trolley Square. We asked January’s artist, George Gundlach to come by the SLUG office to create a personal piece just for SLUG, out of whatever we had lying around. We gave him the January 2012 issue, some paints, old colored pencils and some modge podge to see what he could come up with. … read more

Skrillex’s Mothership Tour 09.24 @ Saltair

Posted on by Asha Pruitt

The Mothership Tour was something I had been looking forward to for months—with its amazing line up how could I not—Skrillex, 12th Planet, Nadastrom and Foreign Beggars. Unfortunately due to complications with their visas, Foreign Beggars were unable to grace Salt Lake City with their presence on Sat. Sept. 24, but even without them the show was astounding. … read more
