There's a young and vibrant music scene right here in Utah.

RadioWest brings some of the newest and the best bands into the studio to talk about and to play their music live.

Local Music: Starmy

KUER 90.1 | By Doug Fabrizio
Published April 13, 2016 at 11:00 AM MDT

  The band Starmy is a rare thing in the Salt Lake City music scene: a band that lasts. They’ve been around for 14 years, suffered the toll of drugs and alcohol, and endured the pressures of adult life. Despite all that, they’ve managed to put out five full-length records of avant-garde indie rock. Guitarist and vocalist Mike Sartain says Starmy's latest album might its last. He and his band will join us Wednesday to play some music and to talk about the challenges of the ever-changing music industry.

Starmy's latest album, Heart Beat Breaks Glass, was released in January. You can buy it on the band's Bandcamp.com page.
