This page will--hopefully--serve as a simple index of upcoming shows in the Salt Lake City area. It's cobwebs for now, but that will change soon! Contacting me is super appreciated if you're a band or venue that wants to add a show or shows to the index.
Most bands and venues in the scene seem communicate mostly on social media, which is convenient if you already use it, but has many downsides. To participate, it requires creating an account by giving away personal information to a corporation, viewing unwanted ads in the app, being subject to the whims of their moderation, and having every action you take surveilled and scrutinized.
I'm on a personal vendetta against social media, and would like to create an accessible, simple webpage to index upcoming shows in and around the SLC area. This website will contain no advertisements, no algorithm, no proprietary software, and has no analytics/surveillance.
If you're in a band and would like to have your shows included, just shoot me a message over email (shows@skylarcloud.slmail.me), Signal (oat.50), or Matrix (@skylar:matrix.skylarcloud.xyz) with the details! I'll just need the band(s) playing, the address, the date and time, and the price of entry if there is one. You're welcome to include any contexual information you'd like as well. If the show is at someone's residence, please get their permission to share their address beforehand!
Here are some examples of what the index would likely look like.
