 LORD MANDRAKE - LOCAL NIGHTMonday, July 6 @ 7pm. Free, all-ages. On July 7th, the Salt Lake City based band Lord Mandrake will be releasing their debut album "The Best of All Possible Worlds" in the Salt Lake area. A limited quantity of 100 screen printed albums were manufactured, and will be available from Slowtrain. "The Best of All Possible Worlds" explores many of the themes Lord Mandrake established on their 2007 EP, "Dreamer". The album revolves around doubt in the presence of hardship and pain, and how conflict forces an individual to unwillingly (for better or worse) reevaluate their system of beliefs. Like nearly all pieces art, "The Best of All Possible Worlds" is a portrait of an individual struggling to make sense of their beliefs and experiences.  HI MY NAME IS RYAN IN-STORE Monday, July 20 @ 7pm. Free, all-ages. With special guest Pillowfort. Faced with his own unique adolescent struggles, Ryan Avery takes happiness into his own hands, determined to make his life awesome. He discovers the therapeutic value of entertaining others and throws himself into cornucopia of creative projects. From thrash and "noise" bands, to an a cappella duo, to a "children's" talk show, Ryan's performances steadily push the boundaries of creativity, decency, absurdity, and safety. His madcap antics force those in his path to consider the universal question: "What is art?" |

he latest The Builders and The Butchers record, Salvation Is A Deep Dark Well, has been selling like hotcakes here at the shop. But let us school you on a lil' 12" split LP that was released with another incredible Portland band that you'll want to keep your eyes on, Loch Lomond.
Loch Lomond and the Builders and the Butchers might seem an odd couple. The former plays idyllic, expansive chamber folk, the latter stripped-down punk-blues. But these seemingly disparate groups share two commonalities: Both have dark sides, and both could be from alternate universes. The Builders and the Butchers play rock 'n' roll as invented during the Great Depression; and while it's hard to pin down where Loch Lomond's world diverged from ours, its music seems like it's based on a history the rest of us didn't experience. And the bands' untitled split LP is a great demonstration of their shared otherworldliness.
