Last night (well, yesterday): Dr. Know at Wax Trax

So before its show last night with the Freeze and Pitch Invasion at 3 Kings Tavern, Nardcore legends Dr. Know played an especially sweaty, late afternoon, show gratis in the back room of Wax Trax. We stopped by and as you can see from the picture above of Brian Hagman from Black Lamb, we were among ... More >>

The Denver Boot: Ghost Buffalo's final show - 05.12.09

A Week ago this evening, the members of Ghost Buffalo played what was presumably their last show ever, at 3 Kings Tavern. While it's barely been even a week, it's safe to say that we already miss them. If you feel like we do, then you'll love this week's edition of the Denver Boot. After the jump we ... More >>

Welcome to a special edition of Moving Pictures. We got a head start on the weekend last night, and oh, man, what a night we had!

Ghost Buffalo gives up the ... well, ghost

Allow us to make this semi dreary Friday a little drearier. We just received word that one of our favorite bands (yes, we know we have a lot of favorite bands) is about to expire. It seems Ghost Buffalo, we're saddened to report, has reached its natural end. The outfit is slated to play two final sh ... More >>

Bands for Lands wants to green the scene

I had a very exciting conversation last week with Doug Bohm, co-founder of Bands for Lands. The Denver-based nonprofit, which has used live music and other arts to further the cause of conservation and sustainability for over a decade, is about to embark on a new initiative to increase awareness of ...

Forth Yeer Freshman rally the troops to become Almost Famous

photo by Dawn Pennich All right, I've made no secret over the years of my loathing of battle-of-the-bands types of events. I'm just not a fan. At the risk of sounding all sanctimonious, I've always felt like these things cheapen the music, in essence reducing any semblance of art to a battle of the ... More >>

This weekend: Autokinoton closes up shop at 3 Kings Tavern, Fight With Food drive at Toad Tavern, Horse, 3 the Hardway and Photo Atlas CD release

Well, sadly, the rumors that have been swirling about for a while now are indeed true. Autokinoton is about to be put to rest. Despite issuing word this past summer that there wouldn't be one, the act's final show is slated for Saturday, February 28, at 3 Kings Tavern, with Kingdom of Magic, Spirit ... More >>

Ghost Buffalo gets robbed. May the burglars burn in hell.

Photo Jesse DawsonWhile we're not exactly the type of folks to ever wish ill will on anyone, here's hoping that karma is indeed a boomerang this time around and that the presumed lowlifes who burglarized our friends in Ghost Buffalo burn in hell -- or at least get a flat tire or something. Thanks to ... More >>

Mile High Low Lifes, a bunch of class acts

So last week, we talked about the Mile High Low Life compilation and noted that the punk is thriving in Denver. And now we can see why the scene is so healthy. Stopped by 3 Kings Tavern for the CD release party on Saturday night and was struck by the turnout, which was impressive to say the least. K ... More >>

Mile High Makeout: Binge and purge

On the third day of an alcohol, caffeine, fat and sugar binge in the name of the winter solstice and some folks' savior, I'm feeling lethargic, unhealthy, dirty and startlingly unattractive. This is the stuff New Year's resolutions are made of. All I want to do is eat raw foods, spend four hours in ... More >>

Nine75's Charley Sinden lands new gig

Looks like Charley Sinden, the former executive chef at Nine75 (975 Lincoln Street), has landed a new gig over at the Red Room (320 EastColfax Avenue). When we ran into Charley last night at 3 Kings Tavern, he was pretty pumped about the new job, which he officially starts today.

Flier of the week: The Red Light Dance Party at 3 Kings Tavern

Alright, this may just be the coolest flier we've seen all year. This one's all about the old school. All day, every day, Playboy. Know what I'm saying? We're talking Sharpies, an Xacto knife, some old magazines and a glue stick. Fuck Photoshop. This is how is used to be done. And as a bonus, it's p ... More >>
