tonight @ kilby

tonight at kilby for only $6 you can catch some great locals and help a good cause. local artist tate law, of the lionelle, spooky moon, neon trees, allred and more was hit by a large truck a month ago and suffered some significant injuries. tonight's show at kilby is a benefit for tate to help him get back on his feet (once he gets back on his feet).

swing by tonight and catch sets from: mury, blackhounds, all time ending, loom, the hotness, ask for the future and more...

who will give us love?

almost a month ago, tate from the lionelle and spooky moon was hit while riding his scooter home from practice. short story, he's going to be out of commission for a while. in the midst of this bad situation, many of his friends in salt lake's artist community are doing what they can to help.

on thursday, november 13th, blackhounds, mury, the hotness, all time ending and sam from ask for the future are playing kilby court. it's $6 at the door and all the money goes to help tate once he gets back on his feet (he shattered his pelvis so it could be a while). kilby's donating the venue, the bands are all playing for free and we're handling promotion. please pass the info on and help rally support for tate. let's sell out kilby and have fun helping someone we all love.

making lemonade

sam sorenson's life in music looks like the map montage from all the indiana jone's movies: you know the one with the glowing red line that slowly works its' way around before finally arriving at the destination. sam' been a constant in the local music scene for the better part of a decade, spending time with several bands, side projects and solo efforts.

with each band (moshmallows, larusso, ask for the future) sam's effort levels can't be criticized. i've personally seen the love and care he puts into everything he creates and his newest project, ask for the future is no exception. to read a glowing review, pick up this month's slug and read it. personally i just appreciate that sam's not going away. he's writing songs more suited to his style and taste than he ever has and it works. he's happy in his songs, he's upbeat about where things are going and when those two things are in place, it results in a better experience for everyone.

proof of his work ethic is aftf's new ep, another love. sam took all the frustration of his abrupt departure with larusso and funneled into new songs, a new approach and a solid ep. be warned though: it's catchy and you will find yourself wanting to hear it again and humming it during the day. so don't go listen to it unless you have $6 and an itunes account. catch sam and ask for the future on friday at the cafe with mesa drive, blackhounds and they heyday.
