For a dose of hearty, no-nonsense R&R, don't miss Clutch. You might recognize them as Ace of Cakes' star Duff's favorite band. Bill Frost has his PhD in cold-hard rockin' it. Here's his dissertation on their best songs, many of which they'll whip out tonight at The Depot.
Over at The State Room, gritty, young country/roots-rockers Deer Tick will headline an evening of twangy goodness. Don't miss opener, Utah's own Atherton.
Want to bust a move? The Scion Radio 17 Monthly show will kick-off a months-long series at W Lounge.

September’s edition features Craze, Drop the Lime, Blu Jemz and Rob Wonder. The catch? Guests must RSVP ahead of time at Scion.com/RadioMonthly. W Lounge, 358 S. West Temple, 9 p.m.
