Last Saturday, June 25, marked the biggest festival in the 22-year history of the Westword Music Showcase, which spanned more than a dozen stages around Denver's Golden Triangle and featured nearly 100 local bands and artists across many genres. This lineup was drawn from the finalist nominees for the 2016...
Sometimes it may not feel like it, but much progress has been made in the fight for women's rights. Take birth control. It's hard to imagine now, but a hundred years ago it was illegal to even tell someone about it, much less try to practice it. A pivotal contributor...
It doesn’t so much arrive as it does infiltrate. The Boulder Fringe Festival sweeps into town for its twelfth annual celebration, twelve days beginning August 17, sprouting up in the most unlikely, ad hoc places all over downtown Boulder. Twenty-five acts will freewheel along, entertainers from around the world that...
Sci-fi took a right turn at the Victorian Age and never moved on – and the result was steampunk, a cult genre that's here to stay. And that's particularly true right here in Denver, where steampunk fans gather each year at AnomalyCon for a stellar weekend of cosplay, guest panels,...
Like most people who make their living off beer, Greg Matthews worries about what’s happening to the craft-brewing industry, which is suddenly overflowing with infighting, trademark disputes and buyouts.

Driving east along Colfax Avenue from downtown is a bit like journeying from Denver south through Central America. As you leave the modern, redeveloped blocks and head past Colorado Boulevard, the population thins and the scenery becomes a little more gritty. But diversity grows, with a patchwork quilt of international...
We recently reported about three Denver deputies fired for excessive force and why they may not stay fired. But while the cases involving the three men — William Jackson, Steven Roybal and Monwell Fuller — may be the most serious disciplinary matters involving Denver Sheriff Department personnel of late, they're hardly the...
An open letter to angry Colorado natives from a transplant who thinks they sound dumb generated a big response from readers. Some homegrown folks weren't happy with the author's take. But there was plenty of agreement from others who weren't born in Colorado, but who (to quote a popular bumper sticker)...
Just over a minute into the third season of the Netflix animated comedy BoJack Horseman, an entertainment-news interviewer asks our hero, “What would an Oscar nomination mean for BoJack Horseman?” The rest of the season is dedicated to answering that question, tracking BoJack (voiced by Will Arnett) from press junkets...
Like American Sniper (2014), Clint Eastwood’s Sully is a movie of nightmares. In Sniper, Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper) sits rigidly in the living room, imagining the gunfire, roaring helicopters and wailing bystanders of Fallujah playing out on a turned-off television as his children race through the house. In Sully, Chesley...
Conejos County Sheriff's Office The official search for Mr. Keller has been suspended but the investigation is continuing.

On August 17, the website Blabbermouth.net reported that Denver thrash metal band Havok had been kicked off of a tour with Megadeth, just as it was about it hit Mexico. The tour, which also features Suicidal Tendencies, Amon Amarth and Metal Church, was just the latest in a series of...
The summer is coming to an end and that means the beautiful, scorching-hot Colorado weather is going to turn into a beautiful, less-scorching Colorado fall. In just a few weeks, the summer schedule at Red Rocks, Fiddler's Green and Hudson Gardens will be done for the year, and the outdoor...
Just over a decade ago, we were so enamored of the happy hour burger at McCormick's Fish House & Bar downtown that we gave it an award for Best Burger in a Fish House. For $1.95, you could load up on the tasty (if not very big) burgers before settling...
If you’re having a hard time girding for holiday shopping this year, you’re not alone. The weather’s been weird and so are the politics, and it’s hard to turn your thoughts to trimming the tree and filling the space beneath it when nothing feels quite right. Here’s a secret...
Since forming 1993 and putting out a self-titled debut album in 1995, Garbage has not been a band to take the easy road. Famously composed of three guys known primarily for their production work prior to this band, it was Steve Marker who spotted Shirley Manson singing with Scottish alt-rockers...
The controversy over a new Denver Police Department draft policy about the use of force flared up again last night at a contentious community forum at the Shorter Community AME Church, with activists, faith leaders and other community members letting Denver Police Chief Robert White and other officials how unhappy they are with the way the document was assembled and presented.

Though Swedish pop group Peter, Björn and John took a five-year hiatus from making music, only to return with the new Breakin' Point, they were still hard at work during their break. In those five years they created a collective art space called INGRID, formerly home to a studio where one...
In the 32 years he’s lived on Humboldt Street, David Engelken has seen many changes in his neighborhood. He remembers the early ’90s, when prostitutes and drug dealers occupied the brownstones across the street from his house. A decade later, he helped secure the area’s historic designation. Now Engelken, the...
Among the key elements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, shorthanded as HIPPA, are provisions guarding the privacy of a person's medical history. And since hospitals are repositories of such information, they are on the front lines when it comes to preventing such data being made public. All...
One of Kelley Williams’ most boasted memories of his recent tour was the night his band, Back of a Car, played a show on the roof of a trophy-engraving center in Arlington, Texas. “There were like forty people who came. It was really cool,” he says. These are the kinds...
