Wednesday night, The Rentals played the Urban Lounge in Salt Lake City, bringing with them a catalog of clever, synth-fueled alternative rock tracks that anyone worth their salt as music-loving beings should have in regular rotation on their iPod.
In addition to dispersing some of the most influential songs of this intrepid reporter’s life experience, Matt Sharp, former bassist for Weezer and lead singer, composer and architect of all things Rentals, also came to the 801 with a query for Utah Jazz fans—who’s bringing the Stifle Tower to the show?
Although Rudy Gobert was not in attendance for the proceedings, a lineup that included Rey Pila and Radiation City provided everyone fortunate enough to be there for the event a late night filled quirky, yet sophisticated indie rock fare.
