Nathan & Stephen (final show) hi-dive	Sat., November 7, 8:00pm	South	Indie Rock
When Hearts of Palm started out as Nathan & Stephen — a collaboration between Stephen Till of Black Black Ocean and longtime friend Nathan McGarvey — no one would have guessed that those spare songs would take on a new life once the project more than tripled its membership roster.... More >>

Jonny Woodrose & the Broken Hearted Woodpeckers (CD Release) Larimer Lounge	Sat., November 7, 9:00pm	Downtown	Rock
Jonny Woodrose & the Broken-Hearted Woodpeckers started out as a solo for writer Jonson Kuhn. His lively, wiseacre perspective on relationships and trying to get by in this world attracted attention early on, and he was ultimately joined by the band's current lineup, including guitarist Charles... More >>

Juliet Mission Lion's Lair	Sat., November 7, 9:00pm	Central	Rock
In the early 1990s, Andre Lucero, Doug Seaman, Tony Morales and Elizabeth Rose formed the popular experimental-rock band Sympathy F. Seaman later went on to a brief stint in Worm Trouble, and Morales played in the Kalamath Brothers with Kevin Soll of 16 Horsepower. Lucero and Seaman also... More >>

Snake Mountain Carioca Cafe	Sat., November 7, 10:00pm	Downtown	Rock
On the third floor of a giant, dilapidated Victorian mansion on Franklin Street just south of Five Points, Andy Wild and Joe Ramirez are mixing. The soft gold of the evening lights up the massive yellow structure, restoring it to a bit of its former majesty: It towers over the other houses on... More >>

Skinny Puppy Ogden Theatre	Sat., November 7, 9:00pm	Central	Industrial Rock
Skinny Puppy started in 1982 as a side project of cEvin Key’s old band, Images in Vogue. With Puppy becoming a full-time concern in 1986, Key and collaborators Nivek Ogre, Dwayne Goettel and Dave Ogilvie spent the next several years putting out seven landmark releases, including Rabies and... More >>

Paramore Fillmore Auditorium	Sun., November 8, 7:30pm	Central	Rock
Paramore lead singer Hayley Williams needn't wonder if she's having an impact on her audience. Odds are good that every time she looks into the crowd at a concert, she'll see a veritable ocean of tween and teen girls wearing her hair color of the moment and their best approximation of her latest... More >>

Dirty Projectors Bluebird Theater	Sun., November 8, 8:00pm	Central	Indie Rock
After paying tribute in record to both Don Henley and Black Flag — not to mention collaborating with both David Byrne and Björk — over the past few years, it’s hard to pin down on paper what Dirty Projectors is all about. A listen to the group’s acclaimed 2009 album,... More >>

Grant Hart (Hüsker Dü) hi-dive	Sun., November 8, 8:00pm	South	Rock
In the rock world, singing drummers are almost as rare as talking dogs. But Grant Hart, the man who assaulted the kit for Hüsker Dü throughout the ’80s, was more than a novelty back in the day. Besides writing and lending his voice to almost as many Hüsker classics as his... More >>

New Music Mondays Larimer Lounge	Every week Monday, 9:00pm	Downtown	Rock
Though the idea of inviting completely inexperienced musicians, journalists, promoters and scenesters to get behind the decks seems like a bad one — especially at the Larimer Lounge, a venue that rarely showcases dance music — DJ Hot to Death (aka Monolith Music Festival's Matt Fecher)... More >>

Neon Indian Larimer Lounge	Tue., November 10, 9:00pm	Downtown	Electronica Pop Rock
As modern music goes, you really can't get that much more with-the-times than Neon Indian's sun-warped, synth-based, dance-pop sound. It's a style so current, in fact, that critics are still having trouble settling on a genre name for the music that this band and other blog-adored acts like it... More >>

GWAR Gothic Theatre	Wed., November 11, 8:00pm	Southwest Suburbs	Rock
The ghoulish costumes and masks, the freaky-deaky stage show, the spewing geysers of blood and bodily fluids, the molten metallic grindcore -- all of it started with GWAR. Well, okay, it probably all started with Kiss and Alice Cooper, but GWAR brought rock-horror showmanship to new highs (or... More >>

Ghostland Observatory Ogden Theatre	Thu., November 12, 9:00pm	Central	Indie Rock
Austin's Ghostland Observatory is more than just another pair of sweaty dudes making party music. Aaron Behrens and Thomas Turner crank up the heat on this formula by combining filthy French electro with '60s soul and plenty of '80s synth pop. While Turner churns out beats that butts can't... More >>

Xiren The Soiled Dove Underground	Thu., November 12, 7:00pm	East	Rock
The rest of the country is warming to Xiren. The Denver-based singer, songwriter and guitarist has been performing for almost a decade, and his efforts are beginning to pay off on a wider scale. Earlier this year, “Ship of Fools (Big Enough),” a track that blends layered guitar tracks... More >>

Lola Black (CD release) Gothic Theatre	Fri., November 13, 7:00pm	Southwest Suburbs	Punk Rock
The members of Lola Black don't consider themselves a supergroup. It's easy, however, to argue that the band boasts the credentials for such a designation. The sextet's resumé includes stints in groups like Blister 66, Snapstick Dynomite and the Eight Bucks Experiment, each of which made... More >>

Horse Feathers hi-dive	Fri., November 13, 8:00pm	South	Indie Rock
As the decade drags to a close and music fans are left to make sense of it all, one thing is clear: Amid the massive success that genres such as indie pop, rap and metal have had over the past ten years, Americana is alive, strong and continuing to evolve. Portland's Horse Feathers is one of the... More >>

Six Months to Live (final show) Meadowlark	Sat., November 14, 9:00pm	Downtown	Rock
In its awkward early phase, it was hard to tell if Six Months to Live (due at the Meadowlark on Saturday, November 14) was an Eric Clapton parody or the real thing. The bizarre publicity photos (see above) that made the band look like the star students of a multi-level marketing/real-estate... More >>

John Fogerty Temple Buell Theatre	Mon., November 16, 8:00pm	Central	Rock
To many, Creedence Clearwater Revival founder John Fogerty is second only to Bruce Springsteen when it comes to roots-fueled Americana. Those folks got a real treat this August when Fogerty released The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again, an album of cover songs that included a duet between him and... More >>

LMFAO Gothic Theatre	Tue., November 17, 8:00pm	Southwest Suburbs	Hip Hop Rock
Provided that CBS isn't planning a Two and a Half Men marathon, you won't find a dumber way to spend your Tuesday night than on the Denver stop of LMFAO's Party Rock Tour. But you might not find a more enjoyable way, either: On its recent major-label debut, these club-rap kings throw down a... More >>

The Faceless and Vital Remains Marquis Theater	Wed., November 18, 7:00pm	Downtown	Death Metal Metal Rock
Vital Remains, from Providence, Rhode Island, has been around for twenty years. As pioneers of death metal, these guys aren’t often among the first to be named by fans of the genre. However, the band’s signature mixture of melodic yet punishing music blurs the line between death and... More >>

Lover! 3 Kings Tavern	Wed., November 18, 9:00pm	South	Indie Rock
Memphis songwriter Rich Crook used to be in the Reatards, and Lover!, his latest outfit, reflects a bit of that group’s synthesis of electronic music and rock. But with Lover!, it sounds like Crook and company have learned a great deal from Scottish power pop, ’60s psych-garage and Big... More >>

Free Moral Agents Old Curtis Street Bar	Wed., November 18, 9:00pm	Downtown	Rock
Free Moral Agents is an experimental pop band led by Isaiah “Ikey” Owens, who’s better known these days for being the live keyboard player in the Mars Volta. A veteran musician, Owens has been a member of Sublime and the Long Beach Dub Allstars, and his diverse talents have led to... More >>
