The Warming

Friday Night In Salt Lake City.

This is Kevin Kirk, founder of The Heavy Metal Shop --- an SLC institution. If you've spent any length of time in Salt Lake and you don't know Kevin, you haven't really seen SLC. Kevin maintains a solid relationship with rock and metal heavies from Slayer to The Supersuckers to Michael Dean Damron (frontman for I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch In The House, one of my all time favorites), who he lined up to play a free, all ages set this Friday in his small shop before the real show a few hours later. Kevin has been peddlin' evil since 1987 and is a mainstay in the SLC music scene who does so much to keep good music in the ears of SLC's residents, including these free mini-shows with bands who're passing through. Swing in and pick up a hoodie or somethin'... Slayer always does.

Between the HMS set and the show at Burt's Tiki Lounge, I ran into a familiar chop outside Lost Art Tattoo and found Bolts homie Chris Graves inside gettin' prepped for some pain...

Then to Burt's to watch four terrible opening bands before Mike D went on... fully worth the wait. Mike somehow manages to sing the most heartfelt, southern-rock tinged, Americana-y, blues while avoiding all the schlocky, image-heavy, rockabilly bullshit that sucks so many workin' man bands down. Go check out his solo work, and definitely check out what he does with his band, I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch In The House... boot-stompin', harmonica riddled rock and roll that's perfect for whiskey.






Michael Dean Damron, from Portland, digs The Heavy Metal Shop so much he's got that shit tattooed on his bicep. That's how cool the joint is.

"Open"

After many requests to get up and rolling I am proud to say that we finally have a store. Click the image above, or permanent image on the right toolbar. New products will roll in as we get going. Email us with any questions. Happy shopping.

Stay Safe Tokyo Friends

Stay Up Boys!!

Shameless.

Man, I'm fuckin' fired. I've been swamped with the real world for a minute now. On the plus side, though, I've been working on a new site. I wasn't going to officially launch it yet, but Google analytics is tellin' me that 587% more folks have already found it, so I might as well call it real. Check it out, gimme your thoughts and bookmark it, because there's a ton of new shit on the horizon... oh, and keep your heads up Japan/Hawaii/everyone in tsunami alley!

No Moto

Ya know, I hate snowmobiles I truly do, just missing a passionate hatred by a couple clicks. I do however see why fools enjoy them, if that makes any sense at all. I use these piles of crap for my job (and I'm grateful for them for this). I will only do a Sled post 1 time, 1 time ever. Its not even cool, its just that I was eating my lunch and I thought of BoltsAction out there in the backcountry, so I had to bust a little tribute roop for ya'll.

(turn the sound down, cause sleds sound stupid, but they do smell good)

Eyeball, pretend to nail measurements, cut, grind, weld, bend

Eyeball more, trace, cut patterns and sew

Stretch, rivet, place and hope it worked!
