DeVotchKa flier puts all hands on deck

To be perfectly honest, we could have closed our eyes and stuck our hands into a flier bin and picked out an awesome flier for Halloween weekend, so picking just one this week was difficult. Even so, this lively DeVotchKa flier caught our eye over some of the others, mainly…

Magic Cyclops is back from the dead. Again.

From the mouth of Magic Cyclops himself: The entertainer is being brought back from the dead for two nights of Halloween-inspired flashback madness, complete with (we’re assuming) his usual self-deprecating stage banter and possibility of bodily harm. Magic — who last took to the stage in August, opening for Warlock…

Surfacing: An all-ages evening of awesomeness

To call Surfacing just a rock show doesn’t really do it justice; it’s a showcase of a variety of Denver’s talents all in one place. How do we know? Well, just look at this flier. It’s got a price for food on it! We’re pretty sure it’s the first time…

Vinefield Agency launch party keeps it simple

Some of our most loved fliers are hardly decipherable messes of wacky design, so it’s nice to see something readable and simple sometimes. Simplicity was once a staple among concert posters because they needed to convey two simple facts: who was playing and where. Thankfully, this artist showcase manages to…

Lipgloss’s ransom note aesthetic kidnaps our heart

The old “cut up magazines and make it look like a ransom note” approach is so old school, it may have existed before there was a school. But it’s fallen so far out of favor that when it’s occasionally revived, it’s hardly fair to call it cliche. Throwback maybe –…

The Fray tapped to warm up for U2 at Invesco Field next spring

Grammy nominations? Platinum status? Selling out Red Rocks? It’s difficult to imagine any single event surpassing those sorts of mile markers in your career. Unless, of course, said event involves warming up for U2. In your hometown. Now that’s beyond difficult. That’s inconceivable. But that’s exactly what the Fray will…

Cassette nostalgia calls you to Plat’s video release

We like things that look like other things, especially when the other things that things look like remind us of warm-and-fuzzy moments from days gone by. Like, say, a flier that recalled the halcyon days of audio cassettes, in all of their lo-fi, wow-and-flutter glory. That nostalgic feeling for our…

No more live music after next month at PT’s Club Inferno

Throughout the late ’60s, 1601 West Evans was a prime destination for live music, with acts like the Doors, Cream, the Grateful Dead and Van Morrison performing in the space now occupied by PT’s Showclub. Four years ago, rock returned to the building when the folks at Left Nut Entertainment…
