Reading Time: 4 minutes Cage The Elephant kicked the door in opening for Muse at Salt Lake’s EnergySolutions Arena on September 19. I have to say, if one ever wanted to start a rock show off right, Cage The Elephant is the band to choose. Elephant’s sound is eclectic, but it’s relentlessly high-energy and it never let up for […]

Reading Time: 5 minutes By Alex Sousa, Managing Editor, @TwoFistedSousa I saw Imagine Dragons over three years ago at the Velour, a dimly lit and intimate music hovel in downtown Provo.
