Man, being in a band is hard. Sometimes it’s so hard that in order to eat, you need to stand on Colfax and Speer to get people into your show. That was apparently the reason why the bands decided to utilize the cardboard box to advertise their show this Saturday,…
As part of her first North American headlining tour, Ke$ha stops at the Fillmore Auditorium on Saturday, February 19. Cannibal, the companion album to her debut, Animal, drops next week and will be available individually and bundled with Animal as a special repackage dubbed Animal + Cannibal. While tickets go…
Club 753, which opened in July with some help from DJ Keoki, appears to be closed. The spot at 753 Santa Fe Drive was shuttered Friday night when we walked past, and its phone number has been disconnected. When we spoke with Club 753’s owner John Bogard in July, he…
Rock posters have a long and storied history with silk-screening. It has been a tradition in poster and flier design for as long as the promotion of rock concerts has existed. It’s this very fact that warms our hearts when we see local shows with silk-screened posters, and this week…
After selling out shows at Red Rocks and the Ogden Theatre this past summer, Philadelphia’s Disco Biscuits is slated to return to the area for back-to-back nights at the Boulder Theater on Thursday, January 13 and Friday, January 14, followed by two more nights at the Ogden Theatre on Saturday,…
We adore robots here, so when a flier has a giant robot featured prominently, it’s already got a leg up on the competition. Throw in a vacuum tube for a head and it’s impossible to resist. MTHDS, the subject of this week’s feature profile, gives us all of this on…
Mogwai stops by the Bluebird Theater on Monday May 2 as part of its world tour supporting its seventh album, Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will, slated for release on Sub Pop on February 15. Tickets for this one are $25 and go on sale this Saturday, November 6…
Over the last five years or so, the space at 940 Lincoln Street has gone through a number of incarnations, from DC10 to Zen Ultra Lounge to Hunks to Chique, to, most recently, 303 Agency. While the focus has primarily been dance clubs, for the most part, when Rock Star…
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…
Touring in support of his latest effort, No Better Than This, John Mellencamp comes to the Temple Buell Theatre on Wednesday, April 6. Tickets range from $44.50 to $130 and go on sale this Friday, October 29 at 10 a.m. — and include a digital download of the T Bone…
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…
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…
Peter Black, the man behind the explosive Analog Space parties, has enlisted a diverse roster of DJs and bands for his upcoming Voodoo Ball 2010, a glittering Halloween blowout with a hand-picked lineup featuring Gauntlet Hair, Woodsman (their tour kickoff, according to Mr. Black), Hideous Men, Hollagramz, Flashlights, Cory Brown,…
Ozzy Osbourne, who just launched a column in Rolling Stone called Ask Dr. Ozzy, in which he offers health and diet tips (no, really), hits the Pepsi Center with Slash on Tuesday, February 8, as part of an eighteen-month long world tour, which includes his first-ever show in Israel. Tickets…
After taking a summer break, DJs Low Key and Sounds Supreme are firing The Solution back up again starting tomorrow night, Friday, October 15, at 3014 (3014 East Colfax Avenue). The duo launched their widely popular weekly underground hip-hop night more than three years ago at Milk with the simple…
Lissie, who was slated to perform tonight at the Bluebird, had to cancel the show. “Just found out my vocal cords are ready to explode and if I don’t stop talking and singing for at least 2 weeks-possible permanent damage,” she posted on her Twitter account. “But I also want…
We’ve received word that Absolutely Huge Entertainment has signed an agreement to take over the Oriental Theater, which became available in August. Headed up by Anna Muniz, who has over twenty years of experience in the bar and entertainment industry, the group also includes Joe Hendricks, who ran the Fallen…
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…
Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds, who have released three live albums together, visit the 1STBANK Center on Thursday, December 9, to play stripped down version of Dave Matthews Band classics. Tickets ($85-$95) go on sale Saturday, October 16 at noon. In support of The Grand Theatre Volume One, which hits…
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 –…
After selling out three nights at Red Rocks, Widespread Panic returns to the Pepsi Center for a two-night New Year’s Eve run on Thursday, December 30, and Friday, December 31. Tickets are $61 and go on sale this Saturday, October 9, at noon and are available through TicketHorse. Speaking of…
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…
