• DeVotchKa announces spring tour dates

  This Friday night in Philadelphia, DeVotchKa is kicking off a fairly exhaustive eight week tour that will take the band across the country from New York to San Francisco to Austin -- not during South By Southwest, surprisingly -- back up through the midwest before culminating in Cleveland on Saturday, March 22. In the midst of all that road work, Nick Urata and company will pull into town just in time for a pre-Valentine's day gig at the Paramount on Friday, February 13. Make plans with your sw

• Breathe Carolina premiers new video, tours until the end of time

  Breathe Carolina, a band that tours so often these days that it almost doesn't seem like a Denver band anymore (seriously, with the exception of April and May, the act is going to be on the road from now until at least the end of August; check out the list of tour dates on the next page), recently premiered its video for the track "Diamonds." The clip -- which begins in stately black and white before morphing into an utter explosion of vibrant colors at the halfway point -- evokes a certain teen

• More scenarios in which Dave Schultheis might not intervene to protect babies

  Dave Schultheis. State senator Dave Schultheis, a Colorado Springs Republican, has long been an expert at saying things that slacken jaws -- but he truly outdid himself yesterday, when he spoke out against legislation that would require pregnant women to receive HIV tests in order to prevent their babies from being infected. He explained his opposition to the Rocky Mountain News's Lynn Bartels like so: "What I'm hoping is that yes, that person may have AIDS, have it seriously as a baby and when

• Pet Shop Boys announce tour, skip Denver

  In support of Yes, their tenth full-length album(!), synth-pop kings Pet Shop Boys have just announced an eighteen-date North American tour, to begin at the end of August. The show promises to be filled with plenty of costumes, capers and theatricality. Unfortunately, the tour schedule is focused on the coasts, only coming inland for a single night in Chicago. If you're a big enough fan that you'll travel for this one, you can sign up for June 8 presale tickets here. The rest of us will hav

Hello Kavita has posted three new songs ("Sunday," "To a Loved One" and "Ok") on its MySpace page from the forthcoming album the outfit has been recording at Colorado Sound. Wowzers. From what we've heard so far, it should be a solid record. Whygee (due on Mile Hi-Fidelity tonight) and Sunkenstate, who previously collaborated on Suicide Wa

• Republic Airways Holdings lays low in Frontier sweepstakes

  An image from the Republic Airways Holdings website.​Tomorrow's the day when Frontier Airlines hits the auction block, and in recent days, Southwest Airlines, one of two publicly announced suitors, has gotten the vast majority of attention due to the size of its bid: $170 million, nearly $60 million more than the first total it floated. Moreover, Southwest's CEO, Gary Kelly, has been out and proud about his firm's efforts, releasing a statement he sent to Southwest employees about the poss

• The taxing problems related to Denver's Frontier offer

  ​ The city's offer to Republic Airways Holdings -- an effort to keep as many Frontier Airlines jobs in Colorado as possible -- doesn't represent the final word on potential lures. "They're in negotiations," says Tom Clark, the Denver Economic Development Corporation's executive director, "so that means there's wiggle room." Nonetheless, Clark concedes that sweetening the deal won't be easy due in part to delinquent payments that were part of Frontier's bankruptcy filing, plus a "parts tax"

  ​ Signs that Republic Airways Holdings, owner of Denver-based Frontier Airlines, might move jobs from Colorado to either Milwaukee or Indianapolis have been unavoidable for at least month. Note this October 9 blog, in which Denver Economic Development Corporation executive director Tom Clark sketched out problematic tax issues, as well as "a hangar available at virtually zero occupancy cost in Milwaukee." It's no surprise, then, that Republic will reportedly put down roots at Milwaukee's G
