Deer Creek and The Ataris Concert

It's nice to be back in Utah where we get to celebrate the 24th of July! This year Jeff didn't have to work on Friday or Saturday so my family decided to go boating at Deer Creek. It was perfect weather and filled with lots of tubing and swimming.

Last night Jeff and I went to see the Ataris at Kilby Court. We had never been to this venue and we expected it to be a little bigger than it was, but it ended up being an awesome show. (FYI Kilby is pretty much a garage in a ghetto ally in SLC). We were excited to see the Ataris because we grew up with their music during high school and during our Snow College years. We were able to be right next to the band because of how small this place was so it was sweet!



There were actually 4 bands before the Ataris went on but this was my favorite guy, Gasoline Heart. He played a few songs with the Ataris as well.


Jeff even got to meet Kris Roe(the singer of the Ataris) and take a pic. The singer was selling the band merch himself which was crazy.
Jeff got a new band shirt since none of his fit anymore and they have all been passed down to me






They played a lot of songs off of "So Long, Astoria" and "Blue Skies, Broken Hearts..." and they even played a song we had on our wedding video, "Won't spend another night alone". Another funny thing is how old and different the singer looked....back in the day he had long blonde hair and didn't wear glasses so it took us awhile to recognize him.
