As music critics, the most common question we get asked (and ask each other) is, “What are you listening to?” The pervasiveness of this query inspired Heavy Rotation, one of two new features we’re debuting this week. For the benefit of those who happen to be curious, starting today, I’ll…
Ah, man, feels like weeks since our last Fray-related post, doesn’t it? Just when we were all starting to experience the pangs of withdrawals, along comes news that our hometown heroes will be doing a flyby tonight on the idiot box. Set your TiVo to stun. Should be on sometime…
Looks like Strange Condition is cashing in on its sweat equity. The outfit, which has endured numerous line-up changes since forming, has worked tirelessly over the years amassing a loyal and ravenous fan base (the act has consistently packed Herman’s for years and has little difficulty these days filling the…
Update: A quick heads-up for those heading out for First Friday festivities this evening in the Sante Fe art district or for friends/fans of Lee Ball that may not have received the word: Tonight at 7 p.m. at the Rebellion, the tattoo shop on 9th and Sante Fe owned by…
What a polarizing day in the Mile High City, eh? While some folks are stoked that Cutler’s been sent packing, there’s just as many who are completely disillusioned and cursing the day that McDaniels got the nod to be the Bronco’s new skipper. As word broke across the country, the…
This just in: Seconds ago, a lovely (we presume) reader named Nicole left a comment on the Pictureplane Gets Love on Pitchfork blog letting us know that she caught Pictureplane and HEALTH’s set in Tucson — literally, she’s a taper — and has subsequently offered up the recording for free…
All right, I gotta admit: It felt a little bit weird at first being back on the air last night after a two-week, self-imposed hiatus. Got sidelined by a nasty sinus/ear/throat infection the first week, while an infected tooth, which later got pulled, conspired with a hockey game and a…
The roads must be pretty nasty west of Denver. We just received word from AEG Live that the sold out Blue October/Ours show slated for tonight at the Ogden Theatre has been postponed until tomorrow due to inclement weather and driving conditions. Tickets for tonight’s show will be honored tomorrow…
Even though Kamtin Mohager is touring the country right now playing bass in 3OH!3’s backing band, his group, the Chain Gang of 1974, which also features guitarist Luke Osbourne and drummer Brandon Anamier, hasn’t been idle. Over the weekend, the act premiered its new video for the track “DANCEKISSLOVEMOVE.” The…
After six months of searching, it looks like the guys in Vices I Admire have finally found a new bassist, and you might be as surprised as we were when you find out who it is: Dan Battenhouse (pictured left, bottom right). Name ring a bell? It should. When the…
Got plans this weekend? If not, you do now. There’s a couple of shows totally worth checking out featuring local musicians paying homage to a pair of past icons, groundbreaking, paradigm shifting artists who left this world violently and prematurely. This Friday night at the hi-dive, the Dualistics — and…
So after last week’s outrage over how the Phish shows at Red Rocks sold out seemingly instantaneously — thanks, allegedly, to a gaggle of unscrupulous scalpers short-changing countless fans — we thought we’d check back in to see how much tickets were going for now. Great googily-moogily, we about spit out…
Did you happen to catch 3OH!3’s recent spring break performance on MTVU? Panama City, Florida, on the beach with babes in bikinis, wall-to-wall kids, losing their minds, Benny Blanco on the ones and twos — trust us: the shit was b-a-n-a-n-a-s, as Ms. Stefani would say. Er, well, actually, if…

Welcome to another edition of Sound Bites, our economy-sized album reviews. This week, Kiernan Maletsky weighs in on five recent national releases from Bonnie Prince Billy (pictured left), Fever Ray, Madeline Peyroux, Point Juncture, WA and These Are Powers after the jump…
Some bands wear a style like a trendy fashion statement, and others embody what that music is about by creating their own artistic identity while expanding and building upon what has come before them. The Prids, from Portland, Oregon, are among the latter. Incorporating elements of synth-inflected new-wave dream pop…
Moments ago, the folks at AEG announced the line-up for this year’s Mile High Music Festival. This year looks like it’s going to be a doozy. Here are just some of the acts that you can look forward to seeing this summer on the two main stages at either end…
On Sunday, April 5, the guys from Reno Divorce are shooting a video for their song, “Has It Been Long Enough,” and are looking for a few extras to fill a scene that takes place in an unnamed bar. Those interested in being immortalized are can contact Justin Herman, the…

Sunday, March 22: I’m not keeping up with these entries, because it’s damn near impossible to find any time to write down here. I’m about two days behind right now, so I’m going to attempt to just cover everything between Thursday morning and right now. As a disclaimer, my memory…
