• Mile High Makeout: New EP from Dualistics

  Thanks to the ever-gracious Charley Hine, I've had the opportunity to listen to the new six-track disc from Dualistics a handful of times this week, and I have to say it's really freaken good. I have publicly expressed my dissatisfaction with the band's live performances in the past, but if Hine and his bandmates - Scott Russell, Tyler Despres and the ubiquitous Jimmy Stofer - can reproduce the energy and complexity of this record when they release it at the Larimer Lounge on January 31st (with

• Pixies bringing Doolittle tour to Denver in November

  ​It's true. Mark your calendars: We just received word that the Pixies, one of the world's greatest bands, will return to Denver to perform Doolittle, its classic 1989 platter, in its entirety on Thursday, November 16 at the Fillmore. Although Black Francis (aka Frank Black, aka Charles Thompson) is due in town tomorrow night at the Walnut Room -- a rarity in itself; Black Francis played Red Rocks this time last year -- if memory serves, the Pixies haven't been here for a minute. Aside from a

Dude's been riding around the country in a big-ass tour deluxe tour bus, which seemed really out of place parked outside of the Walnut Room. He's also got a roadie to set up his two white Vox amps, his SWR acoustic and his two Telecasters. It seemed a tad over the top for just one guy, but then again that one
