Upcoming Shows Flyer

Here is a poster of our upcoming shows, enjoy!

The Kollective Presents - Lotus 10/14

Philadelphia's Lotus will be bringing their own brand of instrumental dance-funk to the Murray Theater on October 14th on their "Pay What You Want Tour". That is right: "The Pay What You Want Tour." It means exactly what it says, following Radiohead's pay what you want record model and taking it into the concert world and allowing fans and concert goers to pay what you think is fair for their concert experience.

Lotus was formed in the late 1990s as a way to fight against the conservative minded nature of the Mennonite College the band were going to. The music evolved into what it is today, an easily groovable electronic-rock showcase. The band has spent the last ten years working the touring circuit and having their music remixed by some of the best names in the electronic world.

Lotus is known for their live shows which involve a very large light rig and a highly energetic show on behalf of the band's members. They have toured the world and now coming to Utah to support their new dual EP selections Oil on Glass and Feather on Wood releasing October 6th.


Here is the two latest videos in their ongoing web series for 2009 -

On September 12, 2009 The Kollective will be proud to present the Epitaph Fall Tour with co-headliners New York's Metalcore masters Every Time I Die and Britian's colossal Bring Me The Horizon. In the supporting slots on Salt Lake City stop will be Solid State artist Oh Sleeper and hardcore fanatics Architects. The tour will make its Utah stop at SLC's own Murray Theater on Saturday September 12th.

Every Time I Die is out on tour to support their newest record New Junk Aesthetic, which is also their Epitaph records debut. The album is hailed as new Metalcore masterpiece by the collective of singer Keith Buckley, guitarists Andy Williams and Jordan Buckley, bassist Josh Newton, and drummer Michael "Ratboy" Novak. Though during the process they lost drummer Novak, it does not mean that Every Time I Die will be a leg short. Touring drummer Ryan Leger will be filling in the vacant spot left by Novak.

Here is the video for the first single off of New Junk Aesthetic entitled "Wanderlust" -



Every Time I Die's new record New Junk Aesthetic is out September 15th on Epitaph records.

Tour support Bring Me The Horizon are already heroes of Metalcore in their homeland of England but with their new album, Suicide Season, a ferocious and interesting front man in Oliver Skyes, and a recent tour through the US with Hardcore titans Thursday these Metalcore newcomers are poised to rip apart the US scene with their own vision of metal.

Here is the video for "Chelsea Smile" one of the most volatile songs off of Suicide Season -



In support are good friends of Bring Me The Horizon and fellow English men Architects. They will be supporting their 2009 release Hollow Crowns on Century Media. The band stirred up controversy on the internet when a video of singer Sam Carter surfaced that showed him fighting with Bring Me The Horizon's singer Oliver Skyes. The video turned out to be staged, but nonetheless fans of Bring Me The Horizon sent many hate mail messages to the Architects and it still causes some controversy to this day.

Here is a video that will not be as controversial; "Early Grave" the lead track off of Hollow Crowns is here for your enjoyment -



Finally Solid State artist Oh, Sleeper will be supporting Every Time I Die and Bring Me The Horizon by providing their own brand of melodic and atmospheric metal. They will also be touring in support of their newest recording effort Son of the Morning, released August 25th. The album has some major religious overtones due to the subject matter of the album. It is a concept album about the end battle between God and the Devil. Solid State is known for pushing the boundaries of Metalcore and harder genres while still maintaining their Christian mentalities.

Here is the video for crowd favorite and last album standout "Vices like Vipers" -



Remember this awesome tour happens on September 12, 2009 at The Murray Theater at 7:00 PM. Tickets are on sale now.
