Looks like massive props are due to the fine young gentlemen of Havok. The thrash metallers just became label mates of Opeth, Obituary, Emperor and Crowbar, by joining the Candlelight Records roster. Good for them, we say. The guys have certainly put in their work since I first caught them…
It was world premier week on Mile Hi-Fidelity. Last night, we had the pleasure of debuting songs from A Shoreline Dream, Jon Snodgrass, Littles Paia, Park Pourbaix and the Widowers’ Mike Marchant, who stopped by the studio long enough to give us insight on his new batch of tunes, which…
The Fray Gothic Theatre Tuesday, January 7, 2009 You know you’ve arrived when you can front-load your set with the hits that you used to save for last, the ones that let you quit your day job. And there they were: three songs into the set, the illustrious “Over My…
Just received word that Diane Reeves, a Denver native and four-time Grammy Award-winning jazz vocalist, is slated to open the Colorado Senate’s 67th general assembly. Tomorrow morning at 10 a.m., Reeves, a George Washington High School and University of Colorado alumna, will join Senate president Peter Groff and his colleagues…
Strange how that whole train-of-thought thing works, isn’t it? One minute you’re talking to your buddy on the horn and he brings up a certain Faith No More song, and the next thing you know, you’ve pissed away the better part of a half-hour watching old videos on YouTube. Although…
Photo: Madeline Cothren From the looks of her stunning new photos, and from the sounds of her most recent tracks (most notably “I Was Your Baby”), Aubrey Collins has successfully reinvented herself again. Well, perhaps “reinvented” isn’t the right word. “Matured” is probably a better way to put it. More…
Photo: Jon Solomon What was it Michael Corleone said in The Godfather? “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in”? That quote could certainly apply to the Fluid. The act, which had initially just intended to get back together for a few shows leading up to Sub…
Photo: Sarah Cass The exceptional gentlemen pictured above, otherwise known collectively as Hello Kavita, are currently holed up in the studio recording a brand-new album with Ian Hlatky, who’s previously overseen recordings by the Last Seen, Born in the Flood and the Swayback, among others. The band recently offered a…
Photo: Joshua Kessler So, have you caught Pepsi’s latest commercial? Notice anything remarkable about it? Besides, of course, the inexplicable, reworked-for-what-seems-like-the-umpteenth-time, futuristic-looking logo? You know that gorgeous, sun-kissed, audible goodness you hear playing in the background? Uh-huh, that’s the Apples in Stereo. Pretty keen, eh? We caught the commercial over…
After taking a week off to celebrate buying/receiving stuff for/from our loved ones, Andy Thomas and I returned to the airwaves last night (a day early in honor of drinking our faces off during Night of the Rookie Livers this evening) and played a bunch of great stuff — as…
Wow! Never thought we’d live to see this day. Seriously. Sure, we’ve all sensed that this moment would come sooner or later. After all, the Broncos just pulled off one of the biggest choke jobs in recent memory and, yes, this is the third consecutive season the team has missed…
All right, so you know how this time of year everybody asks you if you’ve received anything cool for Christmas? Generally, I’m all, like, you know, socks, shirts, gift certificates, yada, yada — and that’s usually the extent of the conversation. Not that I’m ungrateful — it’s just, how much…
Poor sketchy man outside the Gothic Theatre last night, yours was a complication born of marquee ineptitude. For you see, the Gothic lists several shows at a time there, a column of upcoming shows on the left, and a column as well on the right. Last night, the top line…
Never let it be said that Denver artists sit by idly doing nothing while the world around them falters. Breathe Carolina (pictured above) is set to join this spring’s Take Action tour, along with Cute Is What We Aim For, Meg & Dia, Every Avenue and Anarbor. Take Action, in…
Just came across this item in the Las Vegas Weekly and it struck us as kind of funny: In a calendar listing for 3OH!3’s show in Sin City a few weekends ago, the alt-weekly referred to Boulder’s most renown wisenheimers as a “thrash metal group.” We’ve heard 3OH!3’s music described…
Looks like Charley Sinden, the former executive chef at Nine75 (975 Lincoln Street), has landed a new gig over at the Red Room (320 EastColfax Avenue). When we ran into Charley last night at 3 Kings Tavern, he was pretty pumped about the new job, which he officially starts today. …
get their asses completely handed to them? There’s a killer show at 3 Kings Tavern featuring the Fire Drills, Only Thunder, Eyes & Ears, the GetDown! and Spoke Shaver. Here’s the best part: Not only is it a sweet, sweet lineup, but it’s absolutely free, which, of course, only means you’ll have…
Update: The Jimmy Kimmel Live clip is posted after the jump. Isaac Slade (pictured above) and his bandmates in the Fray, who performed in the snow this past weekend at Vail’s Snow Daze, have revealed the track list for the band’s forthcoming self-titled album, which is due to be released here…
By now, hopefully you’ve had a chance to peruse this year’s Moovers & Shakers. A lot of great stuff released this year, yeah? Too much, in fact. There were more releases that moved us than we had space in the paper. Thank God for the web, eh? As promised, here’s…
Looks like props are due to Roe, who bested Fulcrum and the Epilogues — not to mention the countless other hopefuls who submitted music — to claim the honors as the winner of KTCL’s Hometown for the Holidays promo. In addition to enjoying numerous spins on the station for the…
This week, U2 threw its colleagues at Live Nation a curve when it unexpectedly — well, in this economy, it shouldn’t really come as too big a surprise — set about cashing in the 1.6 million shares it received as part of a 360 deal it signed with the entertainment…
Tonight is one of those nights you wish you could be multiple places at once. Over at the Bluebird, Hot IQs are hosting their combined video premier and record release party with Young Coyotes, the Chain Gang of 1974 and Team Firefox. (Stream both songs from the 7-inch and view…
