Bollywood West at the Denver Pavilions Denver Pavilions	Sat., November 21, 2:00pm	Downtown	Community Events Dance Family Events Off the Wall
Bollywood is big business these days: First it was Slumdog Millionaire, then the Oscars, and the next thing you know, the East Indian dance style is popping up everywhere, from So You Think You Can Dance and America’s Best Dance Crew to SpongeBob SquarePants. But as local Bollywood dance... More >>

Puscifer Paramount Theatre	Daily from Fri., November 20 until Sat., November 21, 8:00pm	Downtown	Music
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 >>

Japandroids Larimer Lounge	Sun., November 22, 9:00pm	Downtown	Music
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 >>

Joe Bonner Mercury Cafe	Every week Sunday, 8:00pm	Downtown	Music
Legendary jazz saxophonist Pharoah Sanders dug Joe Bonner's chops so much he recruited the pianist to play on six of Sanders's albums throughout the '70s. Bonner has also performed with other legends Freddy Hubbard, Woody Shaw, Max Roach and Billy Higgins. Bonner's heavy-handed block chords... More >>

The Big Pink Larimer Lounge	Mon., November 23, 9:00pm	Downtown	Music
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,... More >>

Genghis Khan Denver Museum of Nature and Science	Daily from Fri., October 16 until Sun., February 7, 9:00am-5:00pm	Downtown	Museum Exhibits & Events
When you first think of Genghis Khan, you invariably picture a fierce-looking barbarian Mongol in a flashy helmet with awesome facial hair of the Fu Manchu persuasion. And then you figure he was the kind of guy who’d nonchalantly lop off your head if you crossed him. You wouldn’t be... More >>

First School of Funk Jazz@Jack's	Every week Tuesday, 7:00pm-11:00pm	Downtown	Nightlife
"I'm from back in the day, as the expression goes," explains Skip Reeves, host of KUVO-FM's Saturday-night show "A Funk Above the Rest." That's why Reeves doesn't consider '70s R&B to be "old-school"; according to him, it's the first school. "Many upbeat people from back in the time actually... More >>

Thanksgiving Day Turkey Bowl After-Party Oak Tavern	Thu., November 26, 6:20pm	Downtown	Barhopping Nightlife Sports - Spectator Thanksgiving
When the Broncos face off against the New York Giants tonight, it will be the first time since 1963 — and only the third time ever — that Denver has hosted a Thanksgiving game. And that’s awesome. Significantly less awesome, the Donkeys have never won a Thanksgiving game at home... More >>

Paul van Dyk Beta	Thu., November 26, 9:00pm	Downtown	Music
Although he shies away from the label these days, Paul van Dyk is one of the undisputed masters of trance. His music is like the aural version of Utopian visions from the '70s of a sterile, computer-controlled future populated by people in white jumpsuits and flowing robes, gliding from place... More >>

Downtown Denver Grand Illumination Downtown Denver	Fri., November 27, 6:00pm	Downtown	Community Events Family Events Holiday Holiday - Lights
The traditional highlights of downtown’s annual Grand Illumination, which begins tonight at 6 p.m., are the two extravaganzas at either end of the 16th Street Mall: the Denver City and County Building light display that will be switched on with much hoopla at 6:30 p.m., and the Union... More >>

This Too Shall Pass Plus Gallery	Daily from Thu., October 22 until Sat., November 28	Downtown	Art - Galleries
When fine artist Jenny Morgan last showed work in these parts, the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design grad was all the buzz — young, promising and lauded for her striking self-portraits and multiple canvases spread with cropped nudes. Now she’s back, after a grad-school hiatus... More >>

Alan Alda Larimer Lounge	Fri., November 27, 9:00pm	Downtown	Music
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	Music
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 >>

New Music Mondays Larimer Lounge	Every week Monday, 9:00pm	Downtown	Music
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... More >>
