April 1st, 2025 at 7 p.m.
The State Room; 638 S State St, Salt Lake City, UT 84111
Listening to the abundant sounds of the Seattle-based funk & soul group, True Loves, is like walking down a favorite neighborhood street, slapping five with friends, checking up with clerks in their stores, and smelling the familiar scents of your most cherished locale. The band is its own block party.
KRCL's Music Meets Movies gets Weird on April 10th at Brewvies Cinema Pub, with a screening the 1989 cult classic, Weird Al Yankovic's UHF.
If Twinkie Weiner sandwiches, drinking from the fire hose and 'Wheel of Fish' were part of your childhood, or adulthood, we can't wait to watch this one the big screen with you. If these things means nothing to you, come find out!
"A lot of TV stations have forgotten what "quality" means. But not Channel 62. They NEVER knew what it meant.
In the cult classic UHF, "Weird Al" Yankovic is George Newman, a daydreamer who becomes the manager of a small TV station that's losing money as quickly as it's losing viewers. Before long, he's programming shows like "Stanley Spadowski's Clubhouse," "Wheel Of Fish" and "Raul's Wild Kingdom." But can Channel 62's new popularity save it from sinister forces? To find out ... don't touch that dial!
Starring "Weird Al" Yankovic, Michael Richards (Seinfeld), Emo Philips (comedian) Kevin McCarthy (Invasion Of The Body Snatchers), Fran Drescher (The Nanny), Gedde Watanabe (Sixteen Candles), Victoria Jackson (Saturday Night Live), and a special appearance from Dr. Demento himself!"
