Salt Lake band Calico will play at...

...The Live Green Festival at the big Downtown Salt Lake Library Saturday, May 10 at 2:30!

There will be a sustainable music stage, powered by the audience, believe it or not. It’s all human powered. Go green. Join Shake Your Peace as they embark on their annual bicycle tour of Utah and beyond. The pedal-powered PA System is a site to see. The day’s schedule follows:

12:30 The Sonya Cotton Band

2:30 Calico
http://www.myspace.com/calicosounds

4:30 Shake Your Peace!
http://www.shakeyourpeace.com

The lead singer of Shake Your Peace is originally from Utah, but now lives in San Fransisco in a tent on top of his friend’s roof. How hardcore is that? SYP were on LL last year, and I highly recommend you check the entire festival out for yourself!

Archuletta?

Friday, May 9th, 2008 @ 7:43PM

Where art thou?

So I ran to the grocery store at 6:30 tonight, in hopes that I would be back in time at 7 to see Murray High School student and American Idol contender David Archuletta sing the national anthem for the third Jazz/Lakers game tonight. On Wednesday I decided to go on another raw food diet (that’s fruits, veg, grains, seeds, and nuts all raw, not cooked) because I wanted to clean out the bod and slim down a little. Even as a size 4 pescotarian (that’s a vegetarian who also eats fish), I am a bit squishy around the edges and I’d like to tone up for this Summer’s outdoor events. Too many vegan brownies and bread, I guess. So I had to make a run to get some things for dinner.

So I got home at 6:55. Perfect. I whipped up a raw dip and plated some asparagus and carrots. (sounds appetizing, doesn’t it?) So I’m all settled with my cats, Smokey and The Bandit, in front of KJAZZ. They start at the tip off! David was not televised. Even half time was not aired.

I did, however, get to catch him sing (on KUTV) around 5:30 today at on the field of Murray High. They had a big tailgate party there and he sang “Stand By Me”. Unfortunately it was the original BB. King song and not the Pennywise version (wouldn’t that have been cool?) but he did a stellar job, of course.

I don’t know how long the prodigy will be in Utah before he goes back to California to perform on next Tuesday’s Idol, but if his people are reading this, I’d love to have him perform on this Sunday’s X96 Live and Local. If he could do a Cure or NIN cover, that would absolutely make the history books! It’s a long shot, but I’m just throwing it out there.

Catch Salt Lake’s Amber Alert and Dear Stranger tonight with Greeley Estates!

Thursday, May 8th, 2008 @ 11:44AM

Amber Alert, who played at last year's X96 Big Ass Show and opened for Chevelle also in 2007 is playing tonight at Studio 600. Dear Stranger, who also has a track on X96 Live and Local v.4 (still available with your X96 Freeloader Card wherever you see the X96 Incident Management Vehicle or Kurty, the X96 Short Bus) will also be performing tonight.

Headlining is Phoenix, AZ band Greeley Estates, who are playing at The Van’s Warped tour. Catch both bands for only $14 tonight at 600 S. and 26 E. in downtown SLC.

Can someone record Idol for me?

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008 @ 4:55PM

I've been hooked on American Idol this year, only because that dang Murray High School kid is in it, and Dave Cook is fiiine. Mr. Cook can sing to me anytime, I don't care if he sounds just like Scott Stapp.

But tonight, I’m being loyal to Provo band Elizabethan Report (http://www.myspace.com/elizabethanreport) and watching them play instead at Kilby Court tonight with Seattle’s The Cops.  The show is a 7:30 at 330 W. and 741 S. (Kilby Ct.)

So if ANYONE could please tape the show for me, I’d be forever in your debt! I really, really need to get a DVR!

X96 Live and Local tonight.

Sunday, May 4th, 2008 @ 5:15PM

From 8-10 pm. this evening, you'll hear new music from The Auto-Pirates, as well as your Utah band requests. I also found a recent compilation from the local label Exigent Records. It's loud and hardcore, so if you'd had a bad day, week, year, etc., I think you'll enjoy Gaza, Ether, and Loom from that label. Screaming is fun!

My live guests tonight is a five-piece band from Provo called Elizabethan Report. Think Modest Mouse with a chick. I am exceedingly giddy to have this band on at 9:30 tonight, as I have been a huge fan now for a couple of months. Don’t forget that http://www.x96.com has a new web cam, so you may be able to see them play acoustic live from your computer!
