We thought something seemed a little hanky when we saw the ad promoting Yerkish’s upcoming show at the Gothic Theatre with Vices I Admire and the Foot, as its farewell gig. And what do you know? Turns out, everybody’s favorite simian ambassadors are not — we repeat NOT — in…
Looks like this weekend’s much welcomed warm up shook us all out of our winter funk. On Friday night, The Church held auditions for Caffeine, the March 26 electronic music party at the 1STBANK Center. Photographer Marcus Gadison brings back these photos, which are most likely Not Safe For Work:…
Minneapolis’ Melismatics have a transportative quality, like a step back to a time to when rock and roll was just drums, bass, guitar and vocals. This isn’t a bad thing at all — the band’s nostalgic sound taps into The Strokes’ prime era of the early ’00s, but with the…
The most derided of the major award shows came and went last night in a flash of epileptic strobe lights, fake fire effects and surprise winners. We’re referring, of course, to The Black Keys’ win for Best Package. Oh, and some Canadian band on an indie label won Album of…
It’s Valentine’s Day, which means the entire Internet is abuzz with songs about love — or, if people are feeling particularly sad, songs about hate. But what about those who prefer to spread their affection to other things, like inanimate objects? Well, there are plenty of those songs, too. If…
If you didn’t happen to catch this a few weekends ago at the Meadowlark, brace yourself: You are in for one hell of a treat. Gripping from the opening frames, this video for “The Saga of Dirty Street Kids” is a cut above everything else we’ve seen locally in recent…
FURTHUR 02.12.11 | 1STBANK Center Almost a year after they played the reopening of the remodeled 1STBANK Center and just five months after its three night run at Red Rocks, Furthur, the Grateful Dead spin-off featuring Dead members Bob Weir and Phil Lesh and Jerry Garcia sound-alike John Kadlecik, returned…
With so many great shows happening on Saturday night, it was virtually impossible to stay in one place. Luckily, Denver’s geography makes it fairly easy to maneuver between venues in a short amount of time, so we attempted to catch various bands and performances throughout out the evening, making stops…
DEVOTCHKA With Mariachi El Bronx | Gregory Alan Isakov 2.12.12 | Fillmore Auditorium On this night, Colorado native Gregory Alan Isakov played the role of conquering hero — stepping out onto the massive Fillmore Auditorium stage and looking pleased at the sea of people flooding through the doors early to…
UMPHREY’S MCGEE with The Kyle Hollingsworth Band featuring DJ Logic The Fillmore Auditorium | 2.11.11 Following two sold out nights at Belly Up Aspen, Umphrey’s McGee came through Denver to the Fillmore Auditorium for a half day of meet and greets, some live, fan-directed, improvisational jamming, which ultimately culminated into…
Update: See photos from last night: Photos: Hollogramz at Galatic Leash, 2/11/11 Tonight at Real Is a Feeling’s party Galactic Leash, local techno/rave-proponent Hollagramz (aka Ron Cole) is debuting a new member to his project and releasing an EP at a rave-to-end-all-raves tonight in a rented warehouse out on the…
Dave Parrish joins DJ Nutmeg this Friday for Musik1st’s monthly night at Funky Buddha Lounge. For nearly fifteen years, Parrish has been one of Colorado’s top techno DJs, and Nutmeg isn’t exactly wet-behind-the-ears, either. The two scene vets playing together should make for an exciting night of quality underground techno…
Kiernan Maletsky recently did his best to debunk this whole fanciful notion that our musical inclinations are capable of being analyzed and assessed by statisticians crunching hard data in an effort to predict what music is going to resonate with us and the masses at large. While this is certainly…
Tonight, Casselman’s will be rocking for the show being hailed as simply, Good Times. And that’s just what it sounds like, a plain old good time, a great excuse to party like it’s Friday night. There’s going to be live performances from Lamp! Food Chain, S.O.L.I.D, Fresh Breath Committee and…
Churchill is releasing its debut full-length, Happy/Sad, tonight at the hi-dive. It’s been a long time coming — the band has been around for more than two years, and this album has been in the works for half that time. The album, partially funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign, is…
Something different is going on this weekend at Rhinoceropolis. What that something is, exactly — well, now, that’s a great question. The event posting, which is rather vague, urges us to “come get mad” and then goes on to say: “BRING CANDY, CHOCOLATES, WINE, HOMEMADE GOODIES.” Say what? “I don’t…
Built solely on the intricacies of a well-trained string section, Punch Brothers are equal parts bluegrass and modern classical music. Chris Thile — known also as a member of acoustic band Nickel Creek — leads the quintet with his gentle and powerful voice. But it’s his expert mandolin playing that…
Known as Big Sal in the professional wrestling community, Salmineo Martin built a pretty good reputation with Juggalo Championship Wrestling and Primo’s Hardcore Wrestling. He even went on tour with the Insane Clown Posse…
Lady Gaga’s back with “Born This Way,” which was officially released to much fanfare on her web site. It’s a ridiculous, home-run swing of a pop anthem, replete with about a thousand keyboard tracks and a full-choir chorus that gets an a capella breakdown the last time through. Gaga, somewhat…
Danger Mouse just announced he will be collaborating with Jack White, which makes White the billionth musician Danger Mouse has worked with after Beck, the Gorillaz, MF Doom, Cee-Lo, James Mercer, U2, the Rapture, Sparklehorse, Black Keys and, oh, just about everybody else. He’s the hottest commodity in collaboration right…
