Adele makes Billboard chart history this week, as “Someone Like You” flies to the top spot on the Hot 100. Even though it wasn’t officially released as a single, it’s still all over Denver radio. Adele deserves this, though. Girl has had a huuuuuge year in music. First “Rolling in…
Judging by the response to the debut of Cacheflowe and Brer Rabbit’s Yo Soy Sauce project last month, there’s clearly some differing viewpoints on the quality of the song. Now, however you feel about the track, whether you love the track or hate it, here’s a chance to remix it…
Big Sean is coming to the Fox Theatre on Friday, November 11. Signed to Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music label, Big Sean legitimately poses this question: “Who came first, Big Sean or Drake?” No kidding. If you don’t know Big Sean from “My Last,” his single with Chris Brown, let’s just…
Over the weekend, seven people were injured at Red Rocks, four of whom reportedly sustained significant enough injuries that they required treatment at some area hospitals, when some rocks on the north side of the venue fell on them at the end of STS9’s set. In an interview with 9NEWS,…
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…
DMX at THE GOTHIC THEATRE | 9/10/11DMX is loud, energetic and, at least for what he gave at the Gothic Theatre last night, in the same shape he was in when he first lifted his voice with the infamous query, “Where my dogs at?” back in 1997. Exploding onto the…
SOUND TRIBE SECTOR 9 at RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE | 9/9/11Since this was a sold-out show, there was really no possibility of my seeing the opening act, Up Until Now, as I was trapped on the south staircase in a sea of wookies and wookettes. Granted, there really wasn’t anything I…
THE DON’TS AND BE CAREULS at the HI-DIVE | 9/9/11 The Don’ts and Be Carefuls did something at this “Triple EP Release” show that you just knew the band had in it but you might not expect to see: they fused the exuberance and innocence of its original sound with…
Bad news if you we’re planning to get down tomorrow night with a certain Funky Homosapien named Del: We’ve just received word that the iconic rapper — last seen around these parts at the Westword Music Showcase this past summer — won’t be performing tomorrow night in Denver. The show…
Having established himself as an in-demand drummer in both jazz and rock circles by working with everyone from Wayne Shorter and Bill Frisell to Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan, Brian Blade is also a strong leader in his own right — namely, with his Fellowship Band, which will be at…
Fashion Designer, musician, entrepreneur, public speaker and downright cool broad are but a few ways to describe Brandi Shigley (due with B.Sue tonight at the hi-dive for a triple EP release show). The first time I came in contact with Brandi was in her store, Fashion Denver. Some soft, sweet…

Local imprint, Ash From Sweat (To Be Eaten, Zombie Zombie, Collapse) which just celebrated its tenth anniversary last month, preparing to enter it next era with the release of a split 7-inch split with Norweigan band Wits End and the DC-based Perfect Future. While that in itself may not be…
“It’s not your usual standard variety of variety show,” deadpans Anabella Lafontaine, one of Denver’s burlesque divas, when discussing Saturday night’s Burlectronique event. “It’s a little edgy. Most of it should be a lot of burlesque to totally different music — not the classic bump-and-grind — plus, it’ll have art…
This Saturday night, September 10, Rhinoceropolis is throwing benefit show to help The Silent Barn, a sister venue in Queens, New York. This summer, the the independent art, music and living space was raided by the city and tenants were forced out. The following night, theives broke in and stole…

Dixon, one of the top ten DJs in the world as voted by Resident Advisor last year, is definitely the big news in electronic music this weekend; the Berlin-based techno king will no doubt tear up the dance floor at Apex on Saturday. In the meantime, we’ve got plenty more…

Rather enjoying the new song and video from Saints, “Dark Country.” Musically, the insistent bass line, the melody and the overall feel of the track sort of recalls Love and Rockets, while the accompanying video looks like something you’d see on the jumbo trons at a Muse show. “Dark Country,”…
Watch for Fluff Bar to open in early October at 1516 Wazee Street. Originally slated to be called Fluff Beauty Bar, the combo hair salon, cocktail lounge and champagne bar dropped “beauty” for reasons that should be obvious (if you’ve ever been to the fourteen-month-old Beauty Bar, at least)…
“Folks, a star is born.” So wrote AEG impresario Don Strasburg this morning on Facebook in reference to Michael Kiwanuka. And, man, I’m here to tell you: There’s clearly a reason that Strasburg does what he does for a living. Dude can spot talent from a mile away. Kiwanuka, a…
