Friday, Sept. 5: More true tales of the agrihood with Aldine, KRCL's Punk Rock Farmer. You can always count on homegrown food and homegrown music. Tonight, Muskies, a 'pike psych' band from Ogden. Plus, Native Seed Swap and Plant Fest, SL Mag's annual farm-to-glass cocktail contest, Slow Food Utah's 'Snail of Approval' and Skywatcher Leo T!
Muskies are an alternative band based in Ogden, UT. Combining elements of psych rock, jazz, and absurdism, Muskies define a genre of their own - “pike psych.” Perpetually exploring the sonic spectrum, there is no sound too outlandish for Muskies, and if there is, they’ll be sure to use it on their next album.
