311 and AWOLNATION

When I heard that 311 and AWOLNATION were touring together I thought it was such an unusual pairing. Would they have the same fans? I wasn’t sure the very different sounding bands would be a palate best suited for a concert. But the show was a good time. Both bands came out, did their thing and the audience loved it.

Tuesday evening punk-rock fans gathered at The Commonwealth Room in Salt Lake City to attend The Void Eternal tour by Emo-Rapper Joe Mulherin, better known as nothing, nowhere. Before his set, SeeYouSpaceCowboy performed a very intense screamo set. Frontwoman Connie Sgarbossa sang and screamed her heart out. Their music came from a place of pain as they covered songs touching on heartbreak and substance abuse/addiction. While it may not be everyone’s cup of tea the rock fans in the building were loving it! They covered songs such as “bloodstainedeyes” and “Misinterpreting Constellations”.

(October 4^th, 2023) Asking Alexandria ripped through The Union Event Center in Salt Lake City on their Co-headliner tour with The Hu and opening support from Zero 9:36.

Overall, it was an excellent show to attend but for me, Asking Alexandria absolutely stole the night. The crowd was completely engaged throughout their entire setlist that ranged from brand new never played tracks from their latest and 8^th studio album “Where Did It Go?” released August 25^th, as well as classics from their debut album “Stand Up And Scream” released in 2009 and a healthy mixture of popular tracks over the years to fill in the gaps.

Chappell Roan’s concert was a captivating experience. Showcasing her unique blend of soulful vocals and compelling songwriting. The Depot buzzed with anticipation as she took the stage. I spoke to a few fans in the front row. They told me that the night was “Space” themed. People across the general admission floor were dressed as aliens, astronauts, and everything in between. These fans also told me that I was in for a great show. Little did they know that I had seen Chappell Roan in concert. I got to be there at her sold-out show the Soundwell just a few blocks from The Depot.

The Band CAMINO finally made their way to Orem, Utah at the UCCU Center for their Screaming in the Dark tour and boy was it a night that I will never forget. The Band Camino was a band that I was familiar with, having their top hits cycle through my playlists from time to time. But, after what I experienced on that spectacular night I immediately became a permanent fan.

On September 29th, alternative rock band Collective Soul returned to The Union in SLC for another spectacular performance. It was clear that the Utah audience was enthused to have them back, as the line for admission wrapped around the block well before the concert began. In line, fans buzzed with excitement as they shared memories about the numerous times they had seen Collective Soul live. Despite reaching peak popularity in the 90s, the band clearly has since maintained a loyal fan base here in Utah. Fans sported old merch from past tours and albums, chatting with each other about the first time they saw Collective Soul in Utah. Witnessing the nostalgia that Collective Soul evokes in their fans was a truly heartwarming moment.

Everclear, the rock band formed in Portland, Oregon made its way to the DeJoria Center in Kamas to perform for its tour with The Ataris & The Pink Spiders. I know what you’re thinking… Kamas?! Utah’s music scene seems to only be prevalent in the confines of Salt Lake City and the metropolitans nearby. The town you drive by to go to the Uintah’s was the last place I would’ve thought to have a music scene. However, it didn’t disappoint

The Offspring brought incredible energy to USANA Amphitheatre on September 7th and gave their fans an amazing performance. The band had originally planned on performing at USANA weeks earlier, on August 3rd with Sum 41 and Simple Plan. During that performance, a storm began slowly rolling in as the supporting bands took turns on the stage. By the time The Offspring were set to perform, the weather was bad enough to require an evacuation of the venue. The show was postponed before the crowd ever got a glimpse of the Headliners. The Offspring promised they would be back, and they didn’t leave their eager fans waiting too long. On September 7th, the weather was perfect and The Offspring fans of all ages returned and filled the amphitheater.
