And so here you have it. Streets of Gold, 3OH!3’s forthcoming album, now has a release date and the cover art has been revealed. According to our friends at AP, Gold, the follow-up to the act’s 2008 Photo Finish debut, Want, is due on the, uh, streets on Tuesday, June…
Retribution Gospel Choir • The Life There Is • Rubedo Larimer Lounge | 04.17.10 Rubedo, a fairly new band, opened this show, and while the three members of the band seemed to be coming from different musical directions, somehow they managed to bring it all together. It was obvious the…
Who’s Having Fun Fest 1346 Lipan Street | 4.17.10 See more photos on the slideshow page. I’ll eat my words right up front: The Who’s Having Fun? Festival was an unqualified success, completely free of drugs, alcohol, house-trashing, train-wreck technical difficulties and cops. Somehow, Casimir Bemski pulled off an all-day…
Tomorrow will mark the official release of Hunter Dragon’s CD, Weight & Measure at the hi-dive, but since we’re not too keen on waiting for anything, we decided we’d share our impatience with you. With the help of Bocumast Records, we’re offering up the entire album preview. You can check…
Um, yeah, so this just happened: Guess who just crashed 3OH!3’s little house party … Okay, times up. Give up? Mr. Party Hard, and he’s rocking the hell out of the remix, evidently. Yes, Andrew freaking WK! We repeat, WK? WTF?! Raise your hand if you saw this coming. Seriously?…
We would hate for you to miss out on all the awesome that happens every weekend in our fair city, so we’ve decided to run down five of the best shows in one easy-to-swallow post, with video and audio. Tell us — and the rest of the world — what…
The band hasn’t played a show yet. In fact, it’s only practiced four times. So why do we care about For Pop Sake already? It’s partly the pedigree: John Fate, formerly of the Pseudo Dates and currently of Jim McTurnan & The Kids That Killed The Man, alerted us to…
After a day or so of speculation, it was confirmed yesterday that Peter Steele (aka Petrus T. Ratajczyk) has indeed passed away from heart failure at the age of 48. Steele, who formed and fronted Type O Negative, had once actually faked his own death in 2005 through a post…
Germany is a strange, strange place, almost like Bizarro-world. It’s place where David Hasslehoff can have a huge success as a pop singer, for example. And if you keep that in mind, the existence, and success, of today’s freaky selection almost, kind of, sorta makes sense. Today’s clip is a…
The crew from Mile High Sci Fi – the off-the-wall movie-watching comedy show — has never been shy about beer: “We sell it right there in the theater,” says member Matt Vogl. “Sometimes we even have a red wagon that we pull up the aisle, vendor-style.” And on Saturday, they’ll…
Have you gotten your fill of Josh Homme today, what with Record Store Day video featuring the Queens of the Stone Age frontman and the in-depth Q&A we posted with him earlier this morning? Hope not, because we’ve got some more Homme coming your way. How about a pair of…
Fucked Up frontman Damian Abraham loves vinyl. And Denver. When we last spoke with him about a year ago, he sang the praises of bygone Denver punk bands like the Frantix and Bum Kon, an act he also namedropped in a Spin article. “I wish I could just be satisfied…
When explaining why there weren’t too many rock and roll tunes on Them Crooked Vultures’ self-titled debut, singer and guitarist Josh Homme says, “Let’s just try to steamroll everybody with dark heavier music.” With former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl and ex-Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones also on board, it’s…

Every Friday we spotlight the hottest cats (and kittens) behind the decks in the MHC, grilling them to gain some insight on what it takes, exactly, to get the party rocking, to find out about their most treasured crate digging experiences and what they really think when we stumble up…
Okay, so is anyone else here creeped the fuck out by Andrew WK? We’ve always sort of sensed that the dude was a little off, but now, after reading a pair of recent items on The Guardian’s blog, let’s just say, ahem, suspicions confirmed. In case you haven’t been following…
As people who think about, talk about, listen to and make music, the most common question we encounter is, “What are you listening to right now?” So whether you’re looking for recommendations, trying to get a feel for our individual sensibilities, or are just curious, we’ve compiled a list of…
The Twittervese has become one of the most entertaining and insightful places to catch a glimpse inside the lives of some of the most outspoken members of our local music community — 140 characters at a time, of course. We never ceased to be entertained by the tweets of various…
First off — yes, I’ve heard Elvis Costello before — and yes I’ve liked a couple of his albums. I’ve also been surrounded by nutballs that think Elvis Costello is the greatest thing in the universe. Their insistence that I must listen to Armed Forces has kept that album from…
Kick-Ass starts tomorrow and, based on the early buzz and the trailers, it’s going to, well, kick ass. In case you’ve somehow managed to ignore it, it’s a film about superheroes that don’t have powers — just a desire to do some good and too little common sense not to…
The Phillie Phanatic — one of the more epic mascots in professional sports, maybe because it’s a shaggy fat muppet — outdid him/herself at a recent game, donning the Lady Gaga head-to-toe red gauze outfit. Cue “Bad Romance” and the rest … well, you can see the video. The clip…
