Splendid news if you had your sights set on seeing the Melvins at the end of the month at the Bunkhouse but were summarily shocked and saddened by the sudden closure of the downtown venue: Thanks to the efforts of a quartet of local music industry friends, the shows will go on at the Sayers Club at the SLS Las Vegas.
When word of the closure came down, Life Is Beautiful founder Rehan Choudhry, a passionate music fan, gave talent buyer Mike Henry a call to discuss what would happen with the remaining shows that were suddenly without a home.
"One of the great things about the Vegas music scene," says Henry, who's been here for two years, "is that people reach out. It's a small and pretty closely knit core of the scene. And so it was amazing. I couldn't have appreciated that phone call more. And it was just him saying, 'Hey, listen, let's work together and figure this out. How can we do this?'
"When we looked through the lineup, it was scary to see that those shows were going to have to get canceled and there wasn't going to be a home for them," Choudhry says. "I love the Melvins. I grew up with the Melvins. And Dawes is one of my favorite bands today. It's a pretty diverse lineup."

Mike Xavier
It’s 5 a.m. and you’re up. What are you thinking about—work? Your relationship? Money? Not if you’re Vegas rapper, Mike Xavier. He’s pondering how he’ll sell out the Brooklyn Bowl or House of Blues, per a recent Facebook post. “I believe it’s possible and that’s half the battle conquered!”
At the clip Xavier is going, it’s not an unreasonable manifest. His current local booking—this week’s album release show at Vinyl—sold out a week ago. It follows a momentous , when he performed at Life Is Beautiful; opened for Living Colour, KRS-One and Tech N9NE; and released his second full-length album, Old School Vibes. Xavier wrote that record in the hopes of relaying certain messages he thought others needed to hear.
