Shovels & Rope, Indianola @ The Depot 11.17
Indianola, a two-piece out of Jackson, Mississippi, and Shovels & Rope, the married duo from South Carolina, transformed Salt Lake’s The Depot into a small-town Georgian honky tonk. … read more
Cyndi Lauper: Fearless, Reckless Friend @ The Depot 09.20 with Charlie...
With her multi-colored and ratted-out hair and bizarre fashion sense that bridged aspects of punk and new wave with something entirely her own, Lauper was the most outrageous person I had ever seen, and the world admired and celebrated her for her uniqueness. … read more
Alice In Chains at The Depot 07.20
I don’t think it’s legal, to be perfectly honest, to have such an amazing Monday night. There’s some Constitutional or possibly even galactic law against it. But the awesome simply cannot be contained when Alice in Chains is in town. To that was added the fact they were performing at The Depot, quite possibly the
Tame Impala @ The Depot 05.29 with Kuroma
I arrived at The Depot right as Kuroma, who apparently have members of MGMT’s touring band, were walking on stage and getting into their first song. These guys play a really great blend of psychedelic rock and sunny, beach-ready indie pop. After they finished their first song and I’d gotten settled on the main floor, their guitarist ran off stage and disappeared for about three minutes because he’d left his electric guitar on the service elevator on the side of the stage. … read more
The English Beat @ The Depot 05.21 with The Interrupters,...
Tonight is not the first time I’ve seen the English Beat and I’m certain it won’t be the last. Last year I covered their gig and I’m sure tonight’s show will not be a disappointment. I arrive at the Depot just in time to catch the Show Me Island set. … read more
They Might Be Giants @ The Depot 05.05
One of the coolest things about being a They Might Be Giants fan is the knowledge that it doesn’t really matter what era the band is in, how many times you’ve seen them or even if you like their latest album—their live shows kick all sorts of humorous ass. … read more
George Ezra @ The Depot 04.05 with Ruen Brothers
The night had a slow start so all hope now rested on the shoulders of the young English lad, George Ezra, who we had all come to see. When Ezra came out on stage he looked tired and a bit worn from days on the road but his energy and spirit seemed very much intact. … read more
Fucking Mondays: The Gaslight Anthem @ The Depot 03.23 with...
Mondays aren’t supposed to be awesome. Mondays are supposed to be weird little bitches you spend the whole day trying to get away from. However, Brian Fallon, the lead singer of The Gaslight Anthem, decided to embrace the oddness of the evening and put on a really unique and casual performance. … read more
Sleater-Kinney @ The Depot 02.10 with Lizzo, DJ Sophia Eris
For weeks, all forms of communication in the SLC music grapevine have chattered away about the most anticipated show of the year: Sleater-Kinney playing The Depot. … read more
Dum Dum Girls @ The Depot 10.17 with Ex Cops
Playing the Dum Dum Girls single “Pay for Me,” I was immediately hooked by the melodic-but-with-an-edge vocals provided by Dee Dee Penny. The following week, I decided that the only logical course of action was to check out their show at The Depot. As this is the only way one with a Blues Brothers mission-from-god-like enthusiasm for the addictive sound of rock n’ roll can proceed. … read more
