pH10 3 Kings Tavern	Sat., November 21, 8:00pm	South	Rock
In the beginning, there was the sample. And the love of that sample led directly to the creation of pH10, an electronic outfit with a hard-edged sound and a long, storied history. "Wax Trax proved to me that electronic-based music could be as heavy as the punk rock and metal I was listening to... More >>

Savoy Bluebird Theater	Sat., November 21, 9:00pm	Central	Electro Rock
So what are they putting in the water up in Boulder these days? First 3OH!3 takes its ridiculous electro-hop shtick and turns into one of the biggest bands in America. Now Savoy is emerging as the kind of body-rocking electro act that goes down easy with the rock kids but can still set an... More >>

Vandaveer George's Food & Drink	Sat., November 21, 9:30pm	Boulder	Rock
Not to be confused with fellow art-folk group Vetiver, Washington, D.C.'s Vandaveer sports a smokier yet more straightforward sound that feels born and bred in the back room of some bohemian cafe. And while that may sound like damnation with faint praise, Vandaveer manages to stagger between Tom... More >>

Puscifer Paramount Theatre	Daily from Fri., November 20 until Sat., November 21, 8:00pm	Downtown	Rock
Maynard James Keenan describes a show by Puscifer, arguably the oddest sibling in a family of Keenan-connected bands that includes Tool and A Perfect Circle, as a theatrical experience that's carefully planned in advance — for the most part. "We want to make sure that some stuff is solid,... More >>

Railroad Earth Fox Theatre	Daily from Thu., November 19 until Sat., November 21, 9:00pm	Boulder	Rock
Coming off a pretty impressive summer of high profile Colorado appearances, including a return to Telluride Bluegrass Festival, a packed tent at Mile High Music Festival and a stop at Red Rocks with the Allman Brothers, acoustic jam band Railroad Earth could almost call Colorado their... More >>

Japandroids Larimer Lounge	Sun., November 22, 9:00pm	Downtown	Indie Rock
At first glance, people may have a hard time distinguishing Vancouver’s Japandroids from Brooklyn’s Japanther. Both are stripped-down, two-piece, lo-fi garage-rock bands whose members share vocal duties, and both have a certain kinship with the Land of the Rising Sun. Musically,... More >>

Hatebreed and Cannibal Corpse Ogden Theatre	Mon., November 23, 6:30pm	Central	Metal Rock
Cannibal Corpse didn't invent death metal, but it has become one of the genre's definitive bands. Forming in Buffalo, New York in 1988, Cannibal Corpse quickly came to prominence due to its decidedly brutal music and horrifically detailed lyrics to match. From the beginning, Cannibal's album... More >>

Converge The Black Sheep	Mon., November 23, 7:30pm	Southern Colorado	Rock
Although tagged by some as "this generation's Black Flag," Converge vocalist Jacob Bannon is a long way off from becoming Henry Rollins -- off stage anyway. Onstage, Bannon is a whirling dervish of emotion, complete with violent fist pumps and blood curdling screams. Offstage, however, the... More >>

The Big Pink Larimer Lounge	Mon., November 23, 9:00pm	Downtown	Indie Rock
London’s Big Pink borrowed its name from the Band’s classic debut album and set about producing music possessed of vast, swirling horizons and heady dynamics. The record’s introspective, declarative lyrics are like beacons in the hazy early-morning soundscape. In that respect, the... More >>

Snuggle! The Blast-O-Mat	Tue., November 24, 8:00pm	Central	Punk Rock
With pop punk having pretty much become a parody of itself these days, it’s difficult to be surprised by anything that anyone playing that kind of music has to offer. So how is it that a bunch of kids from Seattle got together to form a melodic, poppy punk band without sounding hopelessly... More >>

Nitzer Ebb Bluebird Theater	Wed., November 25, 9:00pm	Central	Gothic Industrial Rock
Nitzer Ebb, from Essex, England, helped to define the musical style called EBM with its heavy industrial rhythms and stark vocals. As with emo, another much-maligned genre, EBM started out as a vital and relevant music whose pioneers never chose to name with a blanket term to encompass a music... More >>

Alan Alda Larimer Lounge	Fri., November 27, 9:00pm	Downtown	Rock
Sometimes it's hard to tell if the members of Alan Alda are joking. Engaging the threesome is like stepping straight into a steady barrage of inside jokes, tongue-in-cheek pop-culture references and friendly sarcasm. Levity is clearly part of this group's inner workings. But the casual tone... More >>

Radical Knitting Circle Meadowlark	Fri., November 27, 9:00pm	Downtown	Rock
Over the years, the term "hippie music" has come to mean meandering jams with guitar solos that can be timed with an hourglass. But during the first generation of the 20th century's most hirsute social movement, the phrase also applied to the tuneage of antic folk loons with a fondness for... More >>

Baby Birds Don't Drink Milk Rhinoceropolis	Fri., November 27, 9:00pm	North	Indie Rock
Lawrence, Kansas, is an unlikely little pocket of American Bohemia tucked into the heart of the Midwest. So it should come as no surprise that it has its own nascent music scene, which includes the likes of Baby Birds Don't Drink Milk. Oftentimes the most visible bands from out-of-the-way places... More >>

Blind Pilot Bluebird Theater	Sat., November 28, 9:00pm	Central	Indie Rock
Israel Nebeker and Ryan Dobrowski know something about getting back to basics. Before they put together their brilliant debut full-length, 3 Rounds and a Sound, the two men who make up Portland-based Blind Pilot conducted a strictly human-powered tour of their home coast. The same austere spirit... More >>

Dugoutcanoe Rhinoceropolis	Sat., November 28, 9:00pm	North	Indie Prog Rock
Anyone who saw Jacob Isaacs playing in the legendary Angels Never Answer probably wouldn’t have guessed he’d do music like this. The earliest incarnations of Dugoutcanoe (due on Saturday, November 28, at Rhinoceropolis) used tape samples and Isaacs’s prodigious skill with drums... More >>

The Swell Season and Rachael Yamagata Ogden Theatre	Sun., November 29, 8:00pm	Central	Rock
Rachael Yamagata released her critically acclaimed debut disc, Happenstance, in 2004, only to be dumped by her record label, RCA, shortly thereafter. Last year the singer-songwriter and pianist finally resurfaced, on Warner Bros., with the wonderfully ambitious double album Elephants…Teeth... 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 >>

Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros Boulder Theater	Tue., December 1, 8:00pm	Boulder	Rock
Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros are definitely one of the more buzzed about underground bands to come to Colorado this summer and deservedly so. With a briskly selling headliner show at the Planet Bluegrass Wildflower Pavillion in Lyons and highly praised appearance at Red Rocks for the... More >>

The Devil Wears Prada and All That Remains Boulder Theater	Wed., December 2, 7:00pm	Boulder	Rock
With the sudden demise of MTV's Headbangers Ball in 1995, metal had nowhere to go but underground. The scene fractured, the sound intensified, and shares of Aqua Net plunged. Since then, a legion of back-to-basics core whores like Massachusetts's All That Remains have pumped life back into the... More >>

Brett Dennen and Grace Potter & the Nocturnals Ogden Theatre	Thu., December 3, 8:00pm	Central	Rock
Grace Potter and her band hail from Vermont, a state with a musically Phishy image, and Nothing but the Water, the title of the Nocturnals' first CD, does nothing to dispel this reputation. But if some of the picking and playing showcased on the album draws from the same well Trey Anastasio... More >>

Lola Black Bender's Tavern	Sat., December 5, 9:00pm	Central	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 >>
