Episode #123 – Lindsay Heath, Max Pain & The Groovies,...

This week on Episode 123 of Soundwaves From The Underground!

-Local musician Lindsay Heath whom is known better for her dark, gothic sounds, is responsible for our new intro and interview segment music you’ll hear on this and future episodes of Soundwaves.

– Ever wanted to hit the ones and twos like a pro? Did you ever think, with the proper knowledge that you could be the next track producing, pop culture, shuttershade-wearing songsmith genius? Salt Lake DJ and Production are providing the tools and courses to learn.
Max Pain and the Groovies cannot be stopped. After forming in 2009 this band of old friends has been playing weekly showcases and producing gritty, groovy rock ever since and don’t have plans on slowing down. EVER.

– You don’t expect anything that comes out of the little, religion-locked nest called Provo and this is especially true with The Moth and The Flame. Currently on tour in Europe, the band released an online-only EP on November 5th which is simply titled, &.
-We hope that this Thanksgiving you have someone to break the wishbone with. SLUG Magazine wants to wish everyone a happy holiday and send thanks to everyone who has been listening to us rant and rave for the last two and a half years.

Episode #138 – Jay Whittaker, Chance Lewis, Jonny Brandin

At SLUG we try not to take things too seriously, so on this episode of Soundwaves we speak with stand up comedians Jay Whittaker and Jonny Brandin about their careers and the comedy scene in SLC. Along the way we hear music from Provo-based hip hop artist, Chance Lewis.

– Inspired by the loss of a close friend, Jay Whittaker took up stand up comedy using Salt Lake City as his home base. Our host Dan Nailen chats with Jay about his history with comedy and show business, daily inspirations and the budding comic scene here in Utah.

– Uplifting and honest, Chance Lewis challenges the norm with careful use of his words and a firm grip on the craft of sarcasm. His track “Life’s A Joke” reminds us that maybe we shouldn’t take our everyday bullshit so seriously.

– Starting his career in Las Vegas as a street performer, Jonny Brandin most recently made Salt Lake City his home. Jonny’s shows are often wild and unpredictable and in his interview with our host, divulges that he would “rather trick people into laughing” than use conventional means.
