The Cliff - 05/17

The Cliff is a new high end pub restaurant located on the mountains of Draper. The food was good, and they have an incredible view of the entire valley. This was a particularly exciting show, because we've been trying to book a show here since it opened. Allison works at the Cliff, and all of her co-workers very warm towards us and excited to hear Allison share her talents. So there was pressure on us as a band to not suck, because we didn't want to embarrass Allison. Luckily we are awesome, and we nailed the show. People were enjoying their food during our first set, and then the dancing began during our second show.

We hired Vic to do our sound, and he did an awesome job. Ingrid took our photos, and they turned out awesome. We all had a great time and we hope to perform here again.

Our band name was featured on the billboard outside

Whole band goes to studio to listen to final mix, and special announcement!

Steve, our producer at Full Fidelity Studios had the whole band and listen to his final mixes one final time to see if we where happy with them. They sound so good, and make it worth the wait! Allison's vocals and harmonies are incredible, Nate's solos are out of this world, Mark's bass is solid, and Aaron's drums are tight and flavorful, and I don't sound too bad myself. We are really pumped and can't wait to release this CD. We are going to release a single later this month! Or early next month, to give you a flavor for our music. It's so hard to choose just one, because they're all awesome.

Club 90 04/17

We had a great weekend, playing at Club 90, Friday and Saturday. We were excited to play some new tunes from our 80's setlist. Aaron's baby was due on April 28th, and we were worried that he's have to rush to the hospital mid-show, so we had Curtis, a session drummer learn all the songs and be our backup. Fortunately, Aaron was a became a proud dad a week early, and he was able to perform.

Friday, was the night of the Jazz playoff game against the Clippers, The Jazz were up 3-2, and almost won the game. The venue was a little bit empty, and a lot of the patrons were busy watching the game, opposed to hitting the dance floor. While there were no special events on Saturday, the place was packed with happy dancing people. It was a blast.


We had some great pictures as always, thanks to Aaron's mom, our dedicated and talented photographer.

Saturday night was our 30th show together, and our 14th show with Mark. It's exciting to see how far our band has come, and all to see where we're going. We have a jam packed summer to be excited for, the long anticipated album release, music video creations, and lots of shows. Our next show is at Cliff House, and we'd love to see you there!
Good luck to the Jazz tonight.

What's on the horizon for 2017? (Album release update)

Here's some of the projects that you can expect in 2017:
- Album Release: Spring/Summer
- Music Video Release: Summer
- Expanding our cover song setlist to reach 65+ songs.
- We've been talking to a local SLC venue about hosting a themed night on a monthly basis.

We thank you for your continued support! We've been working on this album forever! We've laid down all the tracks, and now the studio is finishing the mixing and mastering, and we'll be ready to release soon! They're not even finished yet, and they still give me shivers they are so awesome! Good things take a long time to cultivate.

Interview at Elm Studios

We had the opportunity to be interviewed by Elm Studios, as part of the Utah Music Festival! They had a really cool studio and all of the studio crew were very down to earth and awesome people. This interview will be part of City Weekly's social media, and you can expect it in the future! We were very grateful to be part of such an awesome event, and we're grateful to festival and the studio that we were interviewed.

Had a great interview at Elm Studios! We talked about our upcoming album, our participation in the #utahmusicfestival, and our opinion about the Salt Lake Music scene. You'll be able to see our full interview in City Weekly sometime soon! #slc #utah #rock #music #saltlakecity

Utah Music Fest

The Utah Music Festival is a 4 day festival that included 54 bands, across 8 different venues, and we were very fortunate and honored to be apart of it! It was cool because you could either pay a small entrance fee of $6 to get into any show you want, or pay $20 to go to as many of the shows you wanted on any of the nights.
They also held free workshops for all of the participating bands, that covered topics such as: creating super fans, creating music videos, how to get your band to the next level, etc... Aaron went, and he said that they were super insightful, and has yet to share all of the juicy information.

There were a lot of awesome bands who participated. We played at Club 90, and we got to share the stage with the talented JANA and the Rebels.

The crowd was awesome, lively, and sure knew how to dance! We were encouraged to play an original for the Utah Music Fest, even though Club 90 usually wants you to play covers. We played "Breaking Free", one of our most upbeat songs, and we saw why covers were better at this venue. It cleared the dance floor like light scatters roaches.

We were excited to use our new banners, and they turned out really good! They look amazing and were very easy to set up.

We appreciate all the organizers of the Utah Music Fest for putting it together and having us play! Let's do it again next year! #UtahMusicFest
