As you may have gathered from the hi-dive post below, I’m about to head out of town this weekend. Taking a road trip to the West Coast for the holiday. Before heading into the office this morning, I picked up my rental car. The station was set to 104.3 the…
File under OMFG, muhahahah!: Thanks to You (no, not you, silly — that’s the band’s name) is currently plastered on the front page of PureVolume.com, an impressive nod for a local band that most of you probably haven’t even heard of yet. Getting that kind of national exposure is certainly…
Five years? Seriously, has it already been five years since the hi-dive opened? Great scott, man, I guess it has. Wow, time really does fly, eh? Since we’re leaving town around closing time on Friday night (well, Saturday morning, if you want to split hairs), it’s doubtful that we’ll be…
Hey, cats and kittens, got ten bucks? Dig Dressy Bessy? Want to be the envy of every discriminating pop fan in your neighborhood? Than you better high tail it over to the Kindercore Shop with a quickness. There’s a limited (we’re presuming they’re limited, anyway) number of white vinyl copies…
All right, just when you thought things couldn’t get any more redamndiculous for 3OH!3, they have. Following last week’s appearance on Last Call with Carson Daly (clip posted after the jump), comes news that’s likely to further stir the ire of naysayers. We’ve just learned that Nate and T-Pain have…
Scott Baxendale, a master luthier based in Denver, has crafted axes for Carl Perkins, Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp. He’s also made a few guitars for his good buddies, the Drive-By Truckers, with whom he’s also sat in with periodically, most recently, at the Bluebird last month. In this three-minute…
This just in, the Fray, who, as previously reported, will be premiering its new single, “You Found Me,” tomorrow night on its website, after parts of the track appear in a promo for Lost that will air during Grey’s Anatomy, will be pulling back the curtain on its new album…
Twist and Shout will host a free performance and autograph signing with Matisyahu on Friday, November 28, at 1:30 p.m. at the 500-seat Colfax Event Center (1477 Columbine Street). The Brooklyn-based reggae/hip-hop star is slated to appear at the Ogden Theatre the following night, Saturday, November 29 and at at…
Senator, we knew GN’R. GN’R was a friend of ours. You’re no GN’R. Less than a week before its official release date, Chinese Democracy has reportedly leaked been posted on Guns N’ Roses’ MySpace page. Yep. The full album. Yesterday Today. After a bazillion years of build up, that’s it…
Presumably in anticipation of its next release, Recollections of Memory, due out on February 10, 2009, the stunningly prolific members of A Shoreline Dream have posted a short — and we do mean short; its running time is one minute and thirteen seconds — clip of themselves performing “Hypermode” at…
Danava, Space In Time and Outer Neon Tuesday, November 18, 2008 Larimer Lounge, Denver Better Than: A good bulk of the neo-classic heavy rock of late. Opening the night was the mighty, sludgy psych-rock duo Outer Neon from Denver. For someone not paying attention, it might be easy to carelessly…
Diverse, surprising albums and an explosive, inventive live show are the hallmarks of Apollo Sunshine, a trio of friends – Sam Cohen, Jesse Gallagher and Jeremy Black – who met at the Berklee College of Music the better part of a decade ago. The group’s three albums, including the brand-new…
John Legend visits the Paramount Theatre January 8. There’s a bit more action this week with concert announcements, including John Legend’s January 8 show at the Paramount, Galactic’s Valentine’s Day show at Fillmore and a bunch of good shows at the Bluebird. Celine Dion’s show originally scheduled for tomorrow (Nov…
This Saturday, November 22, the members of Pee Pee, Denver’s most curiously named combo, will be warming up for Nellie McKay at the Mercury Cafe before then joining the songstress back on stage as her backing band. The show, a benefit for bands for lands, will be the outfit’s last…
Just received word from Dent that he’s made the entire Low Budget Soul comp, one of my favorite local hip-hop releases to date, available for download. While the hip-hop scene has evolved considerably since then, Soul, released in 2005, provides a great snapshot from the scene at that time and…
Celine Dion’s November 19 show at the Pepsi Center has been rescheduled for February 24, 2009. Dion’s physician has instructed her to refrain from singing in order for her to completely recover from a recurrent naso-pharyngeal infection that was further complicated by inflamed vocal chords, according to the show’s promoter,…
Young Coyotes, still among my favorite local bands, has announced plans to record a Daytrotter session in Davenport, Iowa, on Thursday, December 4, at the end of its current cross country jaunt, which wraps later that night at the Blue Fugue in Columbia, Missouri. Only a scant few Denver bands…
Photo: Laurie Scavo This next news comes with more than a hint of sadness. With a notable amount of rueful displeasure we bring you word of another stellar Denver band reaching the end of its road. After some deliberation, the members of Cat-A-Tac have decided to part ways. That’s the…
Just received an advance of KBCO’s Studio C 20th Anniversary Edition. The 38-song two-disc set, celebrating two decades of in-studio performances, gathers tracks from a few of the usual suspects (Dave Matthews Band, Sheryl Crow), alongside some rare gems from the likes of Jeff Buckley, Dr. John and Tom Waits,…
Tickle Me Pink, who’s in the midst of a cross country tour right now with Hawthorne Heights (full dates after the jump), has posted an explicit, NSFW version of their “Typical Whore” video. Like the the original version, the video features porn star Gabriella Fox crawling through comforters on her…
Photo: Jon Solomon Of Montreal Ogden Theatre Sunday, November 16, 2008 Better than: Fellini’s Satyricon It’s one thing to see photos and videos from Of Montreal’s Skeletal Lamping tour. It’s another thing entirely to witness the spectacle firsthand. Even if they released a 3-D tour film complete with scratch-and-sniff Oderama…
Looks like we won’t have to wait until February after all to hear what the Fray has in store next. The band is slated to debut “You Found Me,” the first single from its forthcoming self-titled album, next week. Beginning at 10 p.m. on Thursday, November 20, fans can listen…
