• Update: Westword Music Showcase line-up

  Update: As with year's past, before the ink's even dry on the schedule, we've had to make made some minor more changes. Among the recent ones: We've moved the metal showcase from Andrew's to Broadways (two doors down from Bar Standard, next to the pawnshop), and moved the punk line-up to Bannock Street Garage. We've also added two additional acts  (the Culhanes and Buckner Funken Jazz), and swapped the time slots of a few others at Dazzle.And in case you missed it last week, Andrea Ball is

  photo courtesy of Lori Wolfson"It just makes me crazy!" my friend said as we watched the local star-studded family affair that was Born in the Flood's second annual holiday extravaganza on Friday night. And she meant it in a good way. As members of Meese, Dust on the Breakers, Dormir, Astrophagus, Bad Weather California, d. biddle, Machine Gun Blues (R.I.P.), Bela Karoli, Monofog and many more joined our favorite sons on the Bluebird's beautiful stage, crazy was certainly a perfectly reasonable

On January 16th, however, D'Antonio and Tiny Television make a triumphant return, celebrating the release of a debut full-length album at the hi-dive. With Dan Craig, Britt Rodemich and Tim Pourbaix opening, the night promises to be a warm homecoming.

• James Han's Solo Sortie

  If you get out to see live music in Denver, chances are that you've seen James Han perform. The soft-spoken, unassuming keyboardist regularly provides the tinkling shimmer of piano and the haunting murmur of organ for Bela Karoli, the Wheel and Recess, and occasionally appears with other acts as well. His tasteful, tuneful presence always adds beauty and complexity, without ever being flashy or taking focus away from shining stars like Bela Karoli's Julie Davis or the Wheel's Nathaniel Ratelif

And while we rarely agree on anything, we're all pretty much in agreement that Danielle Ate the Sandwich absolutely stole the show with one of the breakout performances of the fest.

Although the members intend to continue to collaborate and record music with one another, there's no plans to perform together live again -- until such time comes when an inevitable reunion years down the road beckons them to.

• Tired of pretending you know how to use your recording gear?

  ​You know how they say everybody's a DJ these days? Based on the number of self-produced recordings we receive each week, the same can be said of recording engineers, too. These days, it seems, everybody also has a recording studio, thanks to the proliferation of cheap recording gear. Problem is, we can also tell you, from experience, that only about a quarter of those folks know how to actually operate their equipment.
