Viet Pham’s much-anticipated and long-awaited Pretty Bird eatery is finally real. It opened just this week at 146 Regent Street in the Eccles Theater building.

Bboy Society: Not Your Usual Utah Pop & Lock

April 15, 2013 by Alexis Bo Leave a Comment

At open practice today, Josh tells me he’s working on power. That means advanced moves such as headspins and flares. He practices alongside 11 year-old Noah who is getting feedback from the older guys on his cracker-jack. These terms describe amazing acrobatic moves that dancers perform on city streets. Joshua “Text” Perkins, co-founder of the Bboy Federation, aka the “Fed,” … [Read more...]

Heavy Metal Music in Salt Lake City

Think the Metal scene is dead? Check out this old schooler who keeps the spirit of heavy metal alive. Heavy metal music is a lot like Chinese food. There are days when nothing else quite hits the spot. When local metal-heads feel the need for a full-course serving of thrash, the place they gravitate to is the Heavy Metal Shop at 63 Exchange Place in Salt Lake City. Owner … [Read more...]
