Nearly a year after Tool’s triumphant headlining set at the Mile High Music Festival, Maynard James Keenan and company return to the area for a two-night stand at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Monday and Tuesday, June 28 and 29. Reserved tickets are $52.50 to $69.50 and go on sale Saturday,…
Great fliers don’t have to always involve meticulous design work, professional illustration and cutting-edge aesthetics. Sometimes, a little, earnest sketch is all it takes. As in today’s flier, which gives us a little sunshine, a little weirdness and a good vibe for a show at the Glob. Who among us…
As part of The Wall’s thirtieth anniversary, Roger Waters is bringing the Pink Floyd rock opera in all its epic glory to the Pepsi Center on Tuesday, November 23 with a new band and a newly-mounted state-of-the-art production. Waters has performed The Wall, which is still among the Top 5…
Below Bar is re-opening tonight as a gay bar with Rockstar Aaron at the decks. Bill Ward has revamped his two-year-old, subterranean spot at 1422 Larimer Street — from changing out some furniture to adding a lot of mirrors — and turned it into a gay bar at the request…
This week’s flier of the week is not one flier but three fliers, one for each of the members of Lion Sized. This first randomly selected (we’re not aware of any particular order) flier effectively sets the tone for the rest of what you’re getting — a splattery, exploded portrait…
Noise lovers, rejoice! This weekend, Old Curtis Street (2100 Curtis Street) will be transformed into a celebration of all things noisy, experimental, grating and possibly hearing-damaging, courtesy of Denver Noise Fest (look for an interview with the festival’s curators Todd Novosad and John Gross in this week’s paper). Almost forty…
This year’s Red Rocks line-up has been filling in rather nicely, and there’s been a few more additions this week, including a second Sting date that’s been added, Blues Traveler’s annual Fourth of July show, the Barenaked Ladies, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Reggae on the Rocks, Celtic Woman and Tom…
Minimalism, abstraction and a clever design combine perfectly in this week’s top flier. There’s not a lot going on here, but what little there is goes a long way. The cascading boxes are the key to the whole thing. If you were to scrub the text off this, leaving just…
Another half dozen new shows were added to the Red Rocks schedule, including John Mayer, Paramore, STS9, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Pretty Lights and Widespread Panic, who will be at the venue from Friday, June 25 through Sunday, June 27, a month after its eleventh studio album, Dirty Side Down, hits…
So this is pretty rad: Evidently, if you act quickly, you can score yourself tickets to see Jónsi of Sigur Ros at the Paramount Theatre on Wednesday for just $7. There’s no catch, near as we can tell. You just have to sign up, and then you’re provided with 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…
Our top flier this week is the work of the folks at Bocumast, the record label/design house that’s home to Astrophagus, Cougar Legs, Iuengliss and many other fine acts. Its intriguing use of color and collage caught our eye right away, but there are several other subtle things going on…
As this summer’s Red Rocks schedule begins to fill in, a few more were added this week, including Rush, who will be performing its epic 1981 album Moving Pictures in its entirety for the first time ever on the Time Machine Tour, which kicks off in June. The band, who…
When Paul Piciocchi said he was closing Tryst at 1512 Larimer last week and moving the club down to Playa Del Carmen, he said the former space would soon become a new watering hole. After less than a week of remodeling, Dive on 15th is slated to open this weekend…
When Soda Jerk Presents started booking punk and hardcore shows in 1997, its main venues were Club 156 on the CU-Boulder campus and Tulagi’s. Since then, company, headed up by owner Mike Barsch went on to book shows at the Raven and Rock Island, before buying The Cat, and for…
Snake Rattle Rattle Snake’s debut headlining performance at the Bluebird is a momentous occasion, so it’s no surprise that the poster promoting it is suitably momentous as well. The flier definitely turned our head when we walked by it the other day, prompting us to head straight the computer to…
Only in Colorado: Tonight’s sold-out Muse and Silversun Pickups show, originally scheduled at the 1stBank Center, has been postponed due to snow on Vail Pass. But there’s good news for anyone who didn’t get tickets to the show; when the band returns the area October 2, it will play at…
Once one of Denver’s biggest hip-hop spots, Club Bash closed late last year after a decade-long run. But it looks the 20,000-square-foot space at 1902 Blake Street, formerly the Blake Street Baseball Club and then the LoDo Music Hall, is reverting back to a live music venue dubbed Summit Music…
While the Mile High Music Festival was announced yesterday, the Vans Warped Tour is also coming to town. Alkaline Trio, Andrew W.K., Bring Me the Horizon, Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I Die, Reel Big Fish, Anti-Flag, Face to Face, Dropkick Murphys, Pennywise and a ton of other bands will…
Okay, whoever speculated that Dave Matthews Band and the Samples were going to be a part of this year’s Mile High Music Festival: Sorry we doubted you. You were right, evidently. So was the guy who said Jack Johnson, as well as the person who pointed us in the direction…
It’s a well-established fact that chicks dig robots. And when it comes to chicks like the micro-skirted, go-go-booted stunner here, we can see how robots — even hot robots — would feel the same way. Heck, we’d put her on our flier, too. Apart from the universal appeal of attractive…
After an eleven year hiatus, Sarah McLachlan has revived the Lilith Tour (originally the Lilith Fair) that she helped found in 1996. In keeping with the original female-centric tours from 1997-99, McLachlan is bringing a number of top female artists including Kelly Clarkson, Miranda Lambert, Emmylou Harris and Ingrid Michaelson…
