 Picture It In Ruins at 9:26 AM Coming on the 19th of march is going to be an epic day of music in Ogden. Picture it in ruins is coming to play they metal matinee at the basement. It's an early show At one but don't let that stop you from witnessing the magic that is ' picture it in ruins'. Brutal thrashing and melodic harmonies make picture it in ruins and beautiful mix. You will be blown away by this band and leave wondering why you haven't listened to them sooner. I got they chance to do a little pre-show interview with one of they band members so check it gout and start getting geared up for "THE METAL MATINEE" at The Basement. all questions answered by Cody Stevenson ♥introduce the band members and the instruments they play. Eddie Kopfman- guitar, Chris Chamber- guitar, Lucas Friebel- vocals, Caleb Stevenson- drums, Cody Stevenson- bass ♥What made you want to play music? i guess just growing up listening to music really. Seemed like a good use of time. ♥how did you meet? We all meet in school, just at different times. ♥how was the band formed? Caleb, Ed, and I had been playing together already for some time and wanted to expand our sound. We added Luke to vocals right before a summer tour one year, and we asked Chris to come just to hang out. He learned our songs on the way to Arizona and he's been with us ever since. ♥your band has been together for a long time, how has your music evolved? Well, our music had evolved just as our tastes in music have changed. Started out as a simple punk band, and grew gradually into what we are today. ♥what are your musical influences? anything and everything ♥describe picture it in ruins. Picture it in ruins is everything we want to hear in music. I'm sure we resemble other bands, but we try to be original as we can. People say we sound like Between The Buried And Me with our own spin on it. ♥Your touring with antagonist, how has the tour been so far? Hasn't started yet, but i have a good feeling about it. The guys in Antagonist are awesome, and we always like playing shows with them. ♥what is the music scene like in green river, wy? Honestly not much of a scene. There are concerts here and there, but it's not like bigger cities. Tours don't come through, so kids usually drive to SLC if they want to see bands play. ♥coming from a small town how do you keep the buzz around your band alive? We use the Internet a lot, and we've been lucky enough to be featured on blog pages. We don't tour a ton, so it's important to try and keep people from forgetting about us. ♥There has been quite a few articles online raving about Picture it in ruins, any talks of being signed soon? Not really.Those articles have been great, and we gained quite a few fans from them, no signs of that right now. What label would you love to be on? Prosthetic Records would be nice, or Metal Blade. Lots of talented bands on both labels ♥What band would you love to tour with? Love to tour with any band, but Protest The Hero would be awesome, as well as Between The Buried And Me. ♥Any suggestions on lessser known bands you think we should hear? SLC local band Dethrone The Sovereign are a very talented group, also Fallujah from San Francisco, CA ♥Are you planning on doing anything special while in ogden, utah? Hopefully just seeing some familiar faces and friends from the area. ♥final words? Thanks for taking an interest in the music we create!

Chuks vintage fashion show at 12:52 PMLast night was incredible! Thank goodness for the gentle encouragement of friends who helped it all happen because it was definitely a night i wont soon forget. Kamikazes bar hosted Chuks vintage clothing fashion show with Ulysses and the house was packed. The clothes were all vintage finds from Chuks vintage clothing owned by Carrie Gerber. Everything from 40's Hollywood beauty to 80's new wave glam graced the stage as the models stomped down the runway. I know i was chanting a little ' please don't fall' mantra in my head as i went on stage but luckily no one fell and we all had a blast. Ulysses gave an amazing performance as well, getting everyone on their feet and dancing. Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure. Have a good day folks! I gotta go drink some emergen-c and watch Star Wars and rest. What a wild night!

Indie Fest 2.0 – Jason’s Revenge! at 11:17 PM The Basement proudly presents Indie Fest 2.0 – Jason’s Revenge. Featuring: Jason Allen is a jerk., Sweatband, The Darlin’ Broads, The Lionelle, WeDroplikeBombs, Hello Panda, Mermaid Baby, A Sometimes Army, and others. Doors open at 5:30PM, music starts at 6:00PM. Tickets are $5 in advance, $7 at the door. Jason Allen, former frontman of "so euphoric", decided after a 4 year hiatus, to return to the local music scene by forming a band with his wife and his good friends: the founding members of Ogden's own Fire Underwater. Jason Allen is a jerk. was officially started on November 15, 2009. check them out at http://www.myspace.com/jasonallenisajerk the lionelle- Channeling compelling and confusing emotions into words and song is one of the toughest challenges (and most noticeably missing) in today’s music. The Lionelle’s ‘Shipwreck’ wastes no time of cutting through the core of these emotions while putting dark and angular rock behind it. They rock hard and scream when they’re frustrated and torn, yet they pull back to a lounge beat with swelling guitars and crooning vocals when they have calmed themselves down and accepted what their feelings consist of. http://www.myspace.com/thelionelle#more mermaid baby- The time was 1942, the depression was over and the country was more alive then ever. The only thing the people of America had to worry about was the fear of a catastrophic incident tearing our world apart. From a salty inland lake in the west rose a powerful force called Mermaid Baby. They showed people reassurance in their music, and made them believe that with our country hand in hand, anything is possible. http://www.myspace.com/mermaidbabymusic#more the sometimes army- Around the time Taylor started writing music was about the same moment as time kept on passing by with out any sort of change. It was the same time as nothing important or of any significance happened. But soon Alex joined the band! soon after that, time continued to still pass by without any sort of giant reaction... actually not even any reaction in the slightest. We went under the title of "Was There Ever An Alex Or Taylor?" for a little bit, but periodically other band members joined and we became the band we are today. To this day we have never played a show with every single band member... hence the name "A Sometimes Army" but do not fret! Time still continues to pass by without noticing us. http://www.myspace.com/asometimesarmy The Darlin’ Broads- brought down from on high with the fire of the gods- http://www.myspace.com/darlinbroads sweatband- http://www.myspace.com/sweatbandsherwood Be sure to spread the word about indie Ogden by following this blog, twitter or sharing it with your Labels: basement, indie, ogden, punk, rock, screamo, show, surf, utah xoxo, explore, create and have fun ‹Older |
