Vinyl pushers on State Street

Historically, Friday and Saturdays have always been The Jackalope Lounge’s (372 S. State, 801-359-8054) heavy-hitter evenings. But a couple of weeks ago, State Street’s favorite duck-in added Matty Mo Mondays to the lineup. As we all know, it’s hard out here for pimp (especially on a Monday), so, thankfully, DJ Matty Mo and Jackalope have teamed up for some relief. If you’re unfamiliar with Matty Mo, the guy has been one of my favorite DJs for years—he’s one of the few vinyl pushers who can maneuver between house and hip-hop with little to no effort. Plus, he was selecting Juicy J tracks long before Hustle & Flow won an Oscar. While you twerk, be sure to take advantage of Jackalope’s $3 Beam, Jager and Fireball shots. And, of course, don’t forget about the trusty $2 Miller High Life bottles and $2 Ancient Age shots. (Photos from Feb. 8)
