For close to three decades, Bob and Cathy Lyons ran the no-frills, nautical-themed Brown Barrel Tavern at 76 South Broadway. The bar was one of the last old-school joints in the Baker neighborhood, an area that was once full of them, and earned a nod in our Best of Denver…

Together for over a decade now, Barstool Messiah shows no signs of letting up on its fourth effort, Bastards of Bacchus. Taking a few cues from the MC5, these revved-up garage-rockers even kick out a killer take of that group’s “Rock Reducer No. 62 (Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa).” As…
The space at 1434 Blake Street that was home to the legendary City Spirit in the ’90s has seen plenty of turnover in the past decade: from Andrew’s Pub & Lounge to Lure Lounge to SportsBook to Pre-Game Sports Bar, which lasted for only a few months before closing last…
After hearing two choruses of Charlie Christian’s solo on Benny Goodman’s “Grand Slam” in a record store, a thirteen-year old Jim Hall had a spiritual awakening of sorts. “That’s what I wanted to do,” Hall, now eighty, says about first hearing the song. “It was such a perfect solo —…

While there have been some fine alt-country acts to come out of Fort Collins (namely Drag the River and Arliss Nancy), there hasn’t been a whole lot of fresh talent working in the genre as of late. But Mosey West, which has been together for almost a year, might give…
Steve and Thanos Lemonidis were hesitant to take over Teddy T’s, a joint that had stood at 6635 East Evans Avenue for the past three decades, just because of the work it needed. But the space had a special place in their dad’s heart, since he’d leased out the kitchen…

FOO FIGHTERS AT PEPSI CENTER | 10/9/11″You guys ready for a long fucking rock show tonight?” Foo Fighters frontman Dave asked the Pepsi Center crowd early in Sunday night’s set. “You ready for that shit?

While the Grizzly Rose has been bringing in country acts since the 1989, the venue has had a lot of success bringing in ’80s-centric rock bands like Dokken and Brett Michaels. So it makes sense that the same folks behind the Grizzly Rose plan to open their own rock club…
