This is a band called A Place To Bury Strangers performing at The Urban Lounge in Salt Lake City, Utah. They are not for all tastes, but if you like noise and distortion you might enjoy them. They are also extremely loud and have been known to blow up PA systems at clubs. Earplugs are mandatory. The live show features lots of stuff that make them one of my favorite bands to photograph, such as smoke, strobe lights, and projections.
This is Nick Urata playing a rusty Theremin and singing with Devotchka, a band from Denver, Colorado. They make fantastic recordings and put on even better live shows, such as this one in Salt Lake City, Utah. I still count their show I saw in Burlington, Vermont as one of the best I can remember. It was right before they were featured in the soundtrack for Little Miss Sunshine, after which they started playing to much larger audiences.
This is John Vanderslice and his band performing at Kilby Court in Salt Lake City, Utah. I don’t listen to his recordings much, but I have seen him twice and he puts on amazing live shows. They played a few songs out by the fire pit in the courtyard for the encore.
It’s going to be live music week on my blog this week. The romantic wedding photos will have to wait. This is Okkervil River performing at Kilby Court in Salt Lake City, Utah on 9/13/2007. If you live in Salt Lake City, like music, but have never been to Kilby Court you need to get yourself out there! I’ve been to shows like this one where there is hardly any room to stand and others attended by less than a dozen people. Shows are usually less than $10 and are always a really intimate listening experience.
The pattern and shadows on this table at Divas Cupcakes and Coffee in Salt Lake City, Utah perfectly describe the feeling I get from a good cup of coffee!
