When the question arises as to whether or not it’s possible to party on Thursdays, we have the definitive answer. Fridays are, of course, a definite, and Wednesdays, well, Wednesday is a hard night to hit the town if you have to work the next day. Thursday, however, is the…

UMPHREY’S MCGEE @ RED ROCKS | 7/3/11 Fans began lining up for this show on the lower north staircase at 10 a.m. to prepare for the tarp run, a race to get the best spot and claim your place for the entirety of the concert. It was mayhem from the…

The Glitch Mob at Red Rocks | 7.2.11The Glitch Mob is currently on its largest tour to date. After a few bumps in the road, one actually taking a wheel right off their tour bus while in transit, the act arrived at Red Rocks to show off what they’ve been…

SONIC BLOOM at SHADOWS RANCH | 06.24.11″With strategically placed subwoofers stashed in a field surrounded by mountains, the heavy bass frequencies sounded like a herd of elephants descending upon us in every direction with bubble-wrapped feet.”…

Here comes another Thursday, and if its anything like last Thursday then it’s going to be wild and fun. Last week, we tore it up all over the city, and now that we’re fully recovered from the Showcase/PrideFest hangover, there’s plenty to do tonight, from the Westword Music Showcase Awards…

BASSNECTAR at RED ROCKS | 06.18.11″The visuals for the night set a new standard: Revolutionary in regards to illusional perspective and thought-provoking in regard to the propaganda images of war and op-art icons seared into the retinas of everyone staring at the stage.”…

DEL THE FUNKY HOMOSAPIEN @ SHOWCASE | 6/18/11 The fact the Del the Funky Homosapien is still able to get up on stage and command the attention he did ten years ago is a testament to the quality of his music, the production of his beats and the impact of…

The lineup for this weekend’s Westword Music Showcase is pretty extensive. In fact, if you’re unprepared it can be overwhelming. With this notion in mind, we put ourselves through a practice run for Showcase and hit every show we could last night. From Funky Buddha, where the work-out started, to…

It’s safe to say that we’ve got you covered on live music for the weekend, but in case you are looking to start the party early, we’ve got you there, too. The Westword Music Showcase is days — pfft…mere hours — away, and what better way to kick start the…

Yesterday we were on the set with Manufactured Superstars, who were shooting their new video at Beta with Vista TV. The scene at Beta yesterday was quite different from a typical night at the club with hundreds of people jumping, dancing, sweating and just all-out raging. The vibe was fun,…

DISCO BISCUITS at RED ROCKS, 5/28/11″Comparing Red Rocks to the Ogden shows is like comparing a Mack Truck to a Tonka. Either the Biscuits were holding out, teasing everyone for the first two nights, or they were just spot on last night.”…

The Disco Biscuits 05.26.11 | Ogden Theatre Given the build-up for the Disco Biscuits return to Denver, the opening night of the band’s three night stand was lacking a certain je ne sais quoi. Perhaps it was the hype the anticipation for Bisco and the pop-up store, but it just…

As if we had all been humming along to the strains of “Tomorrow,” the rain clouds have cleared away once again for the weekend, and the lineup couldn’t demand it more. This week features some regulars for those who want to test the limits of their liver for cheap, as…
