Psych-rock spaghetti-western band The Crooked Rugs play The DLC, the underground venue inside Quarters Arcade Bar in downtown Salt Lake City.
The Crooked Rugs play The DLC on Saturday, October 24, starting at 8 PM. They're the main act of the night, with Citrus and The Caraways opening for them.
The Rugs are a psych-rock spaghetti-western band from Fort Collins, Colorado. They describe their sound as a blend of nostalgic and refreshingly modern rock and roll mixed with mysterious, otherworldly noise. If you're not familiar with the spaghetti-western label, it's the kind of thing that brings to mind Ennio Morricone's desert soundtracks—wide, cinematic, and a bit dusty—but run through a psych-rock filter. The "otherworldly noise" part suggests there's more to it than just a retro vibe, with the kind of textures that push the songs into weirder territory.
