GOLDRUSH FESTIVAL | NIGHT TWO, 9/17/11Day two of Goldrush Festival also felt like you had stepped into an alternate universe where a good friend with good taste in music was introducing you to his or her favorite bands of the moment were gathered together in one place instead of being…
GOLDRUSH FESTIVAL | NIGHT ONE, 9/16/11With no real low points at the first night of the Gold Rush festival, one performance that stood out was that of Drew Englander during his set as R E A L M A G I C. He was like the Pied Piper of dance…
Going to Lipgloss tonight? Dress pretty: the I Am Music crew from St. Louis is in town to film the dance dance revolution. Up until now, I Am Music has focused on individual artists — DJs and musicians alike — but tonight, they’re partying with the Lipgloss crew, and featuring…
Every week, in an effort to pay tribute to those dedicated to the time tested way of promoting shows by hanging up posters, we make our way around the Mile High City to take a gander at all the eye candy affixed to light posts and such. Here are the…
Although JT Nolan, who made his guitar debut at thirteen by playing Van Halen’s “Eruption,” and Paul Mulikin, who plays for the Boulder Philharmonic, have know each for a decade, they never imagined starting a hip-hop project until last year when they started passing ideas back and forth. The duo…
For the next two days, the Goldrush festival will take place at Delite and the hi-dive. The event was the brainchild of three local music bloggers: Jake Martin, Crawford Philleo and Ryan Pjesky. For the last two years, each of the three have been writing largely about contemporary music for…
We’ve looked at plenty of individual band apps over the last couple of years, but we’ve only seen one creation tool for bands, FanTrail, that made its debut it early this year. Now there’s another player on the plate, Apps Bar, and it will make your music app for Android…
Snowboard on the Rocks tonight at Red Rocks Amphitheatre will not only feature three world-premiere snowboard films, but also music by Michael Menert, Doomtree and RJD2. It’s the perfect way to get ready for winter … er, fall. (6 p.m., $25, all ages) And if snow sports aren’t your thing,…
Michal Menert has parlayed his snowboarding mentality into a music career. It’s all about doing what you love because you love doing it, and Menert embodies that in every way, from the dedicated tours to the free distribution of his music. Tonight, Menert joins RJD2 and Doomtree at Red Rocks…
Update, November 8: Youth of Today has postponed the show due to a family emergency.The Summit Music Hall will continue what’s become a rotation of classic punk and metal bands playing its stage (Bad Brains, Stiff Little Fingers, Saint Vitus come to mind) November 10 when Youth of Today and…
Catch Lungs is doing his thing with the video release for “Hooliganry, directed by Vital Films and featuring One Be Lo. The track is a single from Catch’s EP, Awake in a Dream, and finds both MCs getting lyrically descriptive with the ways they keep it “hooligan.” One Be Lo…
With his ground-breaking band Joy Division, Peter Hook (due this Monday, September 19, at the Bluebird Theater) perhaps accidentally created a style of playing bass that made the instrument not just a part of the rhythm section but also a carrier of the melody…
Official Denver Nuggets, Cassidy Bednark — better known in these parts as DJ Bedz — has moved over from his previous home at Hot 107.1 to 95.7 the Party, where he’ll now be rocking his Party to Go Mix every weekday at 4 p.m. In addition to his daily gig…
Up until this morning, MOG was one of the few streaming services that didn’t offer a crippled free version for people to try out. Sure, you could score a fourteen-day trial, but there was no version of the service that was ultimately free. Now, through a combination of ads and…
Bone Orchard Revival opens its self-titled album with a dusty, unhurried, reverb-drenched track called “Temptation” that would make an ideal soundtrack for walking through a graveyard — apt, considering the band’s moniker. These Michigan transplants, now based in Denver, also dip into a fair amount of old-time country, blues and…
Tomorrow night is the first and only time in Denver you’ll be able to catch The Electric Daisy Carnival Experience, Kevin Kerslake’s film about the popular carnival-slash-rave. (We have a branch of the EDC that takes place every spring here in Denver — but that’s like a kid-brother version of…
Dang! If you would’ve told us a decade ago that local acts would be playing shows at a place the size of the Fillmore on with stunning frequency — read more than once a year or on a very special occasion, generally warming up the stage for a higher profile…

Another week in the Mile High City, another fresh batch of new local hip-hop. As per usual, the scene has been putting in work to keep the wheels of creation rotating with rhythmic, thought provoking lyrics and trunk-banging beats. This week, we’ve got new tracks from FOE, D.Girl, Whygee and…
If you look at both Insane Clown Posse (due at the Ogden on September 29) and Odd Future (due in Denver/Boulder next month), you could easily mistake them for being on the same label. Besides the face paint, they have so much else in common: Both groups are loved/hated and…
Here’s what’s happening in music on the Front Range this week: On the concert front, shows from Mastodon, Stephen Stills and Trans-Siberian Orchestra were announced. On local radio specialty shows, Saints, Kinetix, the Fluid and Dave Beegle all got some spins. Meanwhile, at our local record stores, new and recent…
