IdaHeathen Brings the Heat to Misfitz Underground
Last Saturday, May 3rd, 2025, I teamed up with the incredible Heather C. (aka Almost Heathen) to form our new production duo: IdaHeathen. Together, we revived a previously canceled show and brought Triforce: The Fist of Power to life at Misfitz in downtown Pocatello.
And damn—it was a riot.
The Show That Almost Didn’t Happen
This show was nearly dead in the water months ago, but thanks to the passion of local promoters, it was resurrected along with its sister events. Heather and I stepped in to bring it back, and what followed was one of the wildest, most electric nights Pocatello has seen in a while.
Six artists lit up the Misfitz basement, including:
- RapzL
- T-Engine
- Almost Heathen
- Weird Science
- Tryvmph
- Squiggs
We also kept the decks live late into the night with open decks. The energy didn’t let up for a second.
Idaho Falls Meets Pocatello
What made this show truly special was the amazing turnout from both the Idaho Falls and Pocatello scenes. It was incredible to see fans from each area come together to support their local DJs and enjoy the underground vibes.
Venue owners Sara and Jeramy at Misfitz were just as surprised and thrilled with the turnout. They were incredibly supportive, helping us push their sound system to its limits and making sure everything ran smoothly. Huge thanks to them—Misfitz was the perfect space for this show.
Triforce Vibes and Zelda Energy
The IdaHeathen team brought a Zelda-themed aesthetic to the night. With custom-built Triforce themed stage decorations, moody red and purple lighting, and a Death Mountain dungeon vibe, the stage setup added depth and energy to every set.
Nine lucky fans scored Triforce pendants. Many more walked away with The Idahoan merch and giveaways throughout the night.
Set Recap: Six Killer Performances
- RapzL opened the night perfectly—deep, dark, and groovy. He got the early crowd moving and locked into the vibe immediately.
- T-Engine, joined by Graves Entertainment’s McKenzie Graves, brought serious momentum with a high-energy set that really turned the room up.
- Almost Heathen followed, pushing her distinct, layered style into the crowd and making the whole basement come alive.
- Weird Science absolutely leveled the room. Their set was explosive—Austin and David brought the heat and then some.
- Tryvmph (Pocatello’s own legend) delivered an all-original set. Freshly mastered tracks and massive energy made it unforgettable.
- Squiggs closed out the night with an incredible performance featuring live saxophone and on-the-fly improvisation that kept people dancing into the early hours.
