Fear No Film: Utah Short Film of the Year, Part 2
2014 Utah Arts Festival: Sunday 06.29 with Zodiac Empire, Watches, Son of Ian, The Green Leefs, Harper & Midwest Kind
This year’s Utah Arts Festival was rad!!! No, it really was. After skipping out on the last few years to do absolutely nothing I finally decided to check it out again when the opportunity came up for this assignment. What was really impressive was the amount of entertainment available that didn’t require me to spend a small fortune buying pretty things for my apartment. Aside from music, the 6+ stages offered everything from local comedy shows to beatboxing to children’s theatre. … read more

2014 Utah Arts Festival: Sunday 06.29
My last hour at the festival, I stopped looking at the individual mechanisms, but instead watched, in silent reflection of what the Utah Arts Festival has provided as a whole for its artists and attendees. Above all else the Utah Arts Festival shows not only the importance of art in our community, but also the importance of our community to our artists. … read more

This month’s Localized will feature the heavy-hitting, poetic antics of Sights, followed by the addictive melodies of Larusso and Heartless Breakers headlining the show.

Words with Caleb Orton: A Very Beautiful Thing
I was ordering tea and a dainty little slice of raspberry crème cake when Caleb Orton swaggered into the Salt Lake Roasting Co. With his son, Otto, in the crook of his arm, he rushed into the bathroom to change a dirty diaper, asking for a stiff cup of coffee. For a guy that juggles

Diabolical Records Celebrates Two Years
On July 5, Diabolical Records celebrates its second-year anniversary. Their existence in Salt Lake City has made a remarkable impact on the music scene—both as a record shop and the hottest new all-ages music venue.

Fear No Film: Historical Boundaries
These films explore the limits that we all share as humans, from “traditions” that we can’t quite shake, to hypothetical next steps as a species. … read more
Creature Feature: Tony C Berrow
With the amount of bling already bedazzled to his body, it’s no wonder that Tony received the crown. “To win the pageant was shocking,” Tony says. “The pleasure of the whole pageant is that you get to meet so many other creative minds that are the same level as you, as far as being artistic in their different ways, which is fun.” … read more
Fitz And The Tantrums: Life on the Road and the Road to Success
Fitz and The Tantrums are widely known for their catchy tunes, writing chart-topping songs that stick in your head for hours. While six neo-soul indie-poppers might have your head in the clouds listening to “The Walker,” they’ve got their feet planted firmly on the ground. They welcome change and innovation, taking chances and staying humble in their successes. I had the lovely opportunity to speak with John Wicks (drummer and electronics), who shared some of his perspective about life on the road and the road to success. … read more
