• 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

• Update: Cephalic Carnage tours with Mayhem

  Update: More shows added, see full list of dates after the jump. In news that's sure to have local metal fans googling airfare before they even finishing reading this post, we just learned that Cephalic Carnage has been tapped to support Mayhem's upcoming North American tour, fittingly dubbed Blackened Fest. Seems right, as Cephalic is pretty much the only band brutal enough to hang with the Mayhem, a Norwegian black-metal band whose history is littered with violent, inexplicable episodes that a

• 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

  Cheba Hut is coming to the 16th Street Mall this summer, bringing its "counter-culture" sandwiches, including Kind, Kush and Chronic. But according to Matt Clark-Johnson, co-owner of this store as well as the Boulder franchise of the Tempe, Arizona-based chain, Cheba is about more than pot references. "it's juvenile, but it works well," he says. "It gets customers in the first time and it keeps them laughing. Once they eat the food, they keep coming back."The fact that this Cheba Hut is going fo

• Kill Paradise lands recording deal

  So the music business is allegedly in dire straits right now, having endured the sharpest decline in CD sales ever this past year. Yet if you're paying attention you can't help but notice that act after act from Denver is being snatched up by various labels at stupefying rate, that, even during the boom times, might have seemed anomalous. The latest Mile High minstrel to garner a deal is Kill Paradise, the electro pop duo comprised of Nick Cocozzella and Bryce Hoops.

• Cheba Hut gets ready to smoke

  ​Cheba Hut, the pot-themed sub-shop chain, could open its first Denver location as early as Monday, August 10, says franchisee and store co-owner Matt Clark-Johnson, who's at the store at 1531 Champa Street making some final preparations this morning. Although Clark-Johnson, who also owns a Cheba Hut in Boulder, had planned to open over the July 4 weekend, he had a few setbacks that made things take longer, including hurdles involved with remodeling Cheba's space in a historic building.

  ​All right, break's over, kids. Time for the big takeover. Looks like the Flobots are getting back to work -- and it's about damn time, for chrissakes. While the rest of us slept in intervals as a result of our efforts to diligently invest our time in such noble, productive pursuits as drinking our faces off at as many shows as possible and eating our body weight in barbecue this past summer, those cats were off busying themselves with such frivolous activities as building a community center f

  Back in April, we told you about Kill Paradise inking a deal with BreakSilence Recordings, the same imprint that brought you Albuquerque's BrokeNCYDE and Tempe's Eyes Set to Kill. More than half a year later, the outfit has finished its new album, The Second Effect, which will be available exclusively tomorrow at Hot Topic. If the words BrokenCYDE or Hot Topic cause you to just absolutely seethe, or if you're just not particularly found of fey, keyboard driven electro made by dudes with faux h
