Well, it’s finally here. Almost a year after offering up a sneak peek of the music being made by Tauntaun, the defacto supergroup profiled in this week’s issue, led by former Gamits frontman Chris Fogal and featuring Ian O’Dougherty, Matty Clark and Dave Barker, the outfit is unveiling its debut…
Last night, I was bellied up to the bar next to Jason Cain at Sputnik, and he was telling about this show that his band, Astrophagus, has coming up on Saturday, April 4, at the hi-dive. If you look on the hi-dive’s calendar, it’s billed like any other show –…
Just a quick heads-up: Mile Hi-Fidelity will not be airing this week. Sparing you a lengthy explaination, let’s just say that Andy and I are otherwise committed. Years before we launched the show, we were asked to host this bridge tournament at a retirement community in Lakewood. Being that we…
Just a week after we found out that Marie Litton and Matt Bellinger had their place broken into, it seems another local musician has found himself on the business end of a break-in. Tickle Me Pink frontman Sean Kennedy’s home was recently burglarized, and he’s offering a substantial reward to…
Yesterday afternoon, the members of Savage Henry and Chris Blochinger from Potcheen Folk Band were involved in a bus accident in Lee Summit, Missouri. According to Samantha Hanson, Savage Henry’s booking agent and former manager, the band, who was in between dates on a six-date Midwest tour, was on its way to…
Here’s this week’s playlists from the area’s local-centric speciality shows. This week, we’ve added the Colorado Wave in addition to the others we’re already tracking: Radio 1190’s long running Local Shakedown, KTCL’s Locals Only and the Colorado Sound, which originates at KRFC and is rebroadcast all over Colorado. We’re still…
Well, sadly, the rumors that have been swirling about for a while now are indeed true. Autokinoton is about to be put to rest. Despite issuing word this past summer that there wouldn’t be one, the act’s final show is slated for Saturday, February 28, at 3 Kings Tavern, with…
So tonight at the hi-dive, the almighty Omens are releasing their latest opus, a fantabulous long-player titled Send Black Flowers. Recorded by Jamie Hillyer at his Module Overload studios and mastered by Steve Sundberg, the album — at least what we’ve heard of it — is another classic Omens platter…
To say that Soul School/Opie Gone Bad drummer Scott Davies put himself in harm’s way last night is a understatement of epochal proportions. By now, you may have read about the high speed chase last night that ended with a motorist being killed by a police officer on 5th and…
Welcome to another edition of Sound Bites, our economy-sized album reviews. This week, Andy Thomas weighs in on five recent national releases from Bon Iver (pictured left), Cheap Girls, Frank Turner, Papermoons and Lemuria after the jump…
Really fun show last night. Rob Burleson — drummer extraordianaire of Lion Sized, d.biddle, the Fire Drills and sometimes Eyes & Ears — filled in for Andy who was off exploring pyramids in Egypt or trying to find a cure for the common cold or something this week. Tall shoes…
So we’ve been raving about A Shoreline Dream since first hearing the act and speaking with Ryan Policky almost two and a half years ago, and we continue to be impressed by these guys as whole. We absolutely love the music, and we sincerely admire their truly DIY approach to…
Before Gregg Stone quit drinking nearly five years ago, playing metal was just “something to do while I got drunk,” he declares without the slightest hint of irony. These days, the Horse frontman is far more focused. He’s got to be: His former lifestyle nearly cost him what could be…
According to Billboard, the best selling act in America this week is still Taylor Swift, who moved 62,000 copies of her latest disc, Fearless, followed by Charlie Wilson, who was good for 71,000 copies of Uncle Charlie, his latest, and the Fray, which sold another 53,000 copies of its self-titled…
Remember last year when gas was like ninety bucks a gallon and the roadways in Denver were littered with gangs of unscrupulous opportunists roving the streets all Mad Max style, armed with rubber hoses (and not much common sense), in search of the next vehicle to commandeer and subsequently siphon?…
While we’re not exactly the type of folks to ever wish ill will on anyone, here’s hoping that karma is indeed a boomerang this time around and that the presumed lowlifes who burglarized our friends in Ghost Buffalo burn in hell — or at least get a flat tire or…
Everything Absent or Distorted (a love story), an act profiled in these pages back in December and who just performed at Artopia, our gigundous annual arts celebration, over the weekend, earned the distinction this week of having its latest platter, the Great Collapse, listed as the tenth most added disc…
You know those scenes in all those classic ’80s movies like Pretty In Pink or Better Off Dead, where some nameless outfit performs at a school dance while the young protagonists work out whatever assorted teen angst they happen to be grappling with at the time? As we remember it,…
Marc Grabowski, the erstwhile frontman of Corruption, has just been named as the final member of Demonica, the thrash-metal outfit founded by Mercyful Fate guitarist Hank Shermann. After playing with Corruption for the better part of the past two decades, Grabowski had his sights set on retiring from music altogether…
The Yerkish guys have always had a knack for making some of the best posters in town, and this latest flier touting thier March 7 show at the D-Note proves no exception. You’ll notice the re-emergence of the monkey imagery. For a while there, with the release of the new…
All right, we know what you’re thinking: Ugh! Another mash-up, right? Wait a sec. This one — assembled by the furiously talented pop tart known as Tyler Ward — is different. How so, you ask? Well, for one, he played all the instruments and sang all of the parts. When…
All right, so we’ve reached the end of another work week in the Mile High City. While we can no longer brag about having the best selling band in the country, from what we can tell, Denver music is still on the minds and in the ears of at least…
