Fresh off their homemade, sandwich-board-wearing stint at Showcase, the Epilogues are getting ready to embark on a short tour of the West Coast by way of the Pacific Northwest, and to kick things off, as you’ve probably deduced from the headline and the above graphic, the act is playing a…
Damn it! What a punch in the gut. Seriously. If this isn’t a sucker punch, we don’t know what is. Earlier this afternoon, one of Denver’s more visceral live acts, American Relay — the subject of this week’s Critic’s Choice — announced its split. The soul-drenched, positively combustible duo comprised…
The Suffocation piece running in this week’s paper was culled from Phil Freeman’s recent conversation with Terrance Hobbs of Suffocation. As with many of our other Rough Mixes features, there’s far more to the story of this stalwart New York-based death metal band than there was space. As such, after…
With all the Showcase hoopla last week, a few of our normal features slipped through the cracks, including this one, wherein I provide you with a rundown of the radio show and then offer up the playlist for your consumption. A week removed, honestly, I can’t really remember too much…

“At 26, dude, I can’t really split my time anymore,” declares Yonnas Abraham. “You know what I mean? It’s like, what you cash your checks doing is what you do — and I don’t want to be a waiter or a bartender or a market researcher. I want to be…

Update: As with year’s past, before the ink’s even dry on the schedule, we’ve had to make made some minor more changes. Among the most recent one: Eyes & Ears opted out of its 4 p.m. slot at Sutra, which will now be filled by Git Some.And in case you…
Y’all remember that one time yesterday, when the dudes from 3OH!3 premiered their new video for “Starstrukk” on the internet, and people were all, like, … uh, what’s that? Oh, really, you missed it? Ah, too bad. Wait, what are we saying? You know what? So did we. Somehow, working…
Bocumast Records, the authors of this very intriguing Westword Music Showcase-related quiz, not to mention the recording home of distinguished outfits such as Iuengliss, Astrophagus, BDRMPPL and the Natural Selection, is hosting a most excellent showcase of its own on Saturday, June 6, at the Meadowlark. The lineup includes the…
The 38th annual CHUN Capitol Hill People’s Fair, one of the biggest downtown community events of its kind, takes place this weekend in Civic Center park. From the looks of it, there will be no shortage of entertainment this year. Check out the full line-up after the jump…
By now you may have heard about the Fray’s “dress rehearsal,” as it’s being called, this weekend. The band has been running through its live show all week at Broomfield Events Center in preparation for its summer tour, which kicks off next Friday in Atlanta. The week’s worth of rehearsals…

Let’s be honest here: At six years old, I was doing well to tie my own shoes and speak in full sentences. Looking back now, I can’t even begin to imagine sitting in with a band full of grown men and not just holding my own, but being the focal…
Well, that didn’t take too long. Back in March, we had the unfortunate displeasure of reporting that after a great run, the members of Animo had decided to part ways. This week, we received word that the three of the four members have regrouped under a new name, Heart and…
Gotta love Denver, man. At the risk of sounding like a homer, the creativity here is invigorating. It seems cats are constantly striving to come up with compelling ways to put on shows, Stand By Your Band at the hi-dive, Denver Does Denver and now Hip-Hop Bites Back, an idea…
While we’re on the subject of name changes today, it has come to our attention that the distinguished gentleman and bewitching lasses that currently answer to the name Paper Bird are in the process of modifying their name. It seems another outfit in Austria staked claim to that moniker some…
Over the weekend, we entered all of the songs that we’ve played on the show into a database. It was quiet eye-opening. Since launching back in December, we’ve played somewhere around 450 songs. Minus the songs we’ve played more than once, we’ve played more than 350 songs by 350 artists,…
For reasons that are seemingly innumerable, the outfit formerly known as Shitwolf has rinsed off its fur and will now be known simply as Undead Uglies. Too bad, Shitwolf was such a memorable moniker. Besides the fact that the name looked, uh, killer on fliers (check out past handbills on…
Here what the area’s local-centric specialty radio shows were spinning this week. We’re currently tracking the playlists a number of different shows, including Radio 1190’s long-running Local Shakedown, KTCL’s Locals Only (except for this week: Due to unforeseen technical difficulties, Alf ended up assembling a flashback show on the fly),…
As you’ve no doubt gathered from the weekly This Just In posts that have been accumulating over the past month or so, the summer concert season is almost upon us and is so far stacking up to be a memorable one, particularly at Red Rocks thanks to a rare night…
