In this week’s Rough Mixes entry focusing on Napalm Death, we only printed highlights of Tom Murphy’s recent conversation with Barney Greenway. The two of them actually had a fairly extensive conversation in which Greenway discussed the influence of My Bloody Valentine and other unexpected acts on Napalm Death, how…
The Mighty 18 Wheeler. You’ve remember them, right? Brylcream, rockabilly and whatnot? Yeah, um, you can forget all that. If you haven’t heard, the boys have undergone a massive overhaul, namely shaving off the ‘billy from their previous designation and drafting Halden Wofford on vocals (who answers to Bret Bertholf…
As you can see from the picture to the left, which features 3OH!3 co-frontman Nathaniel Motte chilling at Bamboozle with the most baddass little chimp darling black and white capuchin on his shoulder, life is clearly very good right now for the boyzos from the People’s Republic. Hot on the…
In this week’s edition of Rough Mixes, we printed excerpts of Tom Murphy’s recent chat with Dave Dictor from MDC. As you’ll see from the full transcript posted after the jump, the band’s frontman is still very much an iconoclast championing ideals that are as provactive as the revolving moniker…
Here what the area’s local-centric specialty radio shows were playing 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, the Colorado Sound, which originates at KRFC and is re-broadcast all over Colorado, the Colorado Wave, which is syndicated…
Ah, yeah! It’s two-for-Tuesday! May is shaping up to be a pretty big month for new releases in the Mile High City. In addition to the songs we’ve already shared with you from Houses, Elin Palmer, Synthetic Elements, Angie Stevens and the Jim Jims, here’s another track from a magnificent…
From the soggy, cold weather to being under, uh, well, the weather until today — which, incidentally, also accounts for why this week’s episode of Moving Pictures wasn’t posted until today — it was a pretty miserable weekend. Fortunately, the music was delightful, as always, which more than made up…
Okay, so before we call it a week and go crack a cold one and lend an ear to some of the finest music this city has to offer, as promised, we’re leaving you with the recordings from Houses’ last appearance at the hi-dive a couple of months ago, to…
Just in case you haven’t gotten enough of Houses for the week, who were also featured in this week’s Pole Position, we’ve got a few more treats in store for you to help get you excited for tonight’s show at the hi-dive featuring Houses, Elin Palmer another of Denver’s brightest…
Rounding out this week’s batch of new music in MP3 Freeloader, is the lovely and talented Elin Palmer, who is premiering her brand new John Rumley directed video for the song “Balloons” tonight at the hi-dive. Figuring that you’ll have ample opportunity to hear that song at the club tonight,…
If you haven’t decided what you’re doing tonight, you literally have a wealth of options. In addition to Houses and Elin Palmer celebrating new releases at the hi-dive and Angie Stevens doing the same over at the Soiled Dove underground, Synthetic Elements is issuing its latest platter, Trashed Out Paradise,…
Houses aren’t the only folks releasing a new CD tonight. Over at the Soiled Dove Underground, Angie Stevens is issuing her eagerly awaited disc, Queen of This Mess, the follow-up to her Stand Up Girl 1 & 2. As you’ll hear after the jump, Grammy-winning producer Malcolm Burn, who recorded…
By now you’ve probably heard that Skyfox is among the latest Denver acts to land a record deal, specifically, the group is the most recent addition to the Crappy Records roster — a completely fitting association if there ever was one. The label is owned in part by Bowling for…
Allow us to make this semi dreary Friday a little drearier. We just received word that one of our favorite bands (yes, we know we have a lot of favorite bands) is about to expire. It seems Ghost Buffalo, we’re saddened to report, has reached its natural end. The outfit…
Elin Palmer has spent a great deal of her career playing a supporting role, adding majestic violin textures to the music of some this town’s most critically revered acts, including the Czars, 16 Horsepower, DeVotchKa, Wovenhand and Munly and the Lee Lewis Harlots, as well as performing and guesting on…
Jeez, man, leave a few bands off the Westword Music Showcase ballot, and suddenly the hordes show up outside your window with pitchforks and torches, calling for your dismemberment. “I have a question,” wrote one especially disgruntled gent in response to a post on the Backbeat blog in which I…
So I got a pretty rad note the other day from my friend Suzanne about my most recent obsession, Danielle Ate the Sandwich. Suzanne, God bless her soul, spends countless hours analyzing and ruminating the business aspect of, well, the music business. Unlike a good number of us, who are…
Kind of a freak about Ol’ Blue Eyes, so pardon the giddiness in advance, but as we write this the Swayback are — well, who the hell are we kidding? probably barely coherent given this late hour and the fact that they’re in Hollywood right now hanging with Andy Johns…
Admittedly, we clearly have a thing for Houses at the moment (if you’ve seen this band live or heard the new record, you understand why). Nonetheless, there’s something striking about the flier promoting the band’s EP release party this Friday, May 1 at the hi-dive. There’s just something about the…
All right, so, yesterday, the always dependable, completely reliable, trustworthy sleuths over at TMZ posted a series of photos of some guy, who looks a helluva lot like Tupac, that were allegedly snapped in some bar in the Big Easy last weekend. Seems viable. I mean, everybody knows that a…
Absolutely killer show last night. Make no mistake: We’re not being haughty here, particularly since it really had nothing to do with Andy or I. We were dependably dooftastic as always. No sir. Show was epic thanks to a sweet, sweet playlist and some stellar guests. With regard to the…
