So the album that everybody’s talking about this week (and for good reason) is mbv, the record that fans have been eagerly awaiting for at least two decades, since the release of Loveless, My Bloody Valentine’s 1991 masterpiece. To give you an idea of just how eagerly awaited this follow-up…
The lineup for this year’s edition of the Gathering of the Clouds has been revealed. The three-day festival, slated to take place at the Walnut Room this year on Thursday, March 7, through Saturday, March 9, is being headlined by the Warlocks, Wovenhand, Gliss and the Black Ryder and features…
Update: Congrats to Weltonwalker. You and a guest have been picked to be our guests at tonight’s shows. Check your email for details on how to claim your tickets. Tonight at the Bluebird Theater, Kraddy is kicking off an eight-night Colorado run with Ana Sia that will include stops in…
Update 3/22/13: Carly “Crunk Bear” McKinney is no longer employed. The Twitter hash tag #freecrunkbear isn’t trending yet, not nationally and not even locally, but keep an eye out. Something tells us it will be at some point, if not today, definitely by the end of the weekend after Winter…
Since performing at the Westword Music Showcase last summer, Macklemore’s stock has soared. His independently released album, The Heist, topped Billboard sales charts, and the album’s breakthrough single, “Thrift Shop,” surpassed “Somebody That I Used to Know,” Gotye’s virtually inescapable song from a few years ago, in number of streams,…
Hard to believe it’s already been this long, but a decade ago this month, the D Note opened in Olde Town Arvada. To commemorate this momentous occasion, the venue will host a weekend long celebration featuring Laughing Hands, Opera on Tap, Cabaret Otaku and Lionel Young on Friday, February 15…
Alright, so normally in Guess Where I’m Peeing, we make you do all the heavy lifting. We post a photo of a random restroom at a random venue and then sit back and wager with one another how long it’s going to take for somebody to correctly identify the bathroom…
Yesterday, Pitchfork posted a short interview with Marnie Stern — the lovely lass from the Win a Date with Marnie Stern (but only if you live in New York and are not a stalker/creepo) contest — in which she revealed that she’s essentially broke and not making ends meet with…
Update, 2/1/13: Congratulations to halversonep and seifert4329. Both of you and a guest will be our guests tomorrow night. Check your email for details on how to claim your tickets. And thanks to everybody else for the other entries! This year’s edition of Snowdown jumps off this Saturday, February 2…
Denver is the capital of Colorado. It is located exactly one mile above sea level. Weed is legal here, while riding your bike on the sidewalk is not. Your mom can make more free throws than Andre Iguodala — these are all facts. The music scene here sucks ass…now, that…
Update: Congratulations to p.quinby! For more information on how to claim your tickets, check your email. Original post: So we can’t be sure, but it looks like the tickets that were released last week for the second edition of Icelantic’s Winter on the Rocks, taking place this Friday, Feburary 1,…
If you were living in Denver thirty-four years ago this week, the Rainbow Music Hall would’ve been the talk of the town. After a grand opening gala featuring Jerry Jeff Walker, who performed three sets on two back-to-back nights at the venue, suddenly, the humble movie theater multiplex at the…
Another week, another swell roster of music in the Mile High City. From the bacchanalian throwback debauchery of the Darkness, who will be invading the Summit Music Hall, to the lyrical thriftiness of Macklemore, who is set to headline Icelantic’s second annual edition of Winter on the Rocks, there are…
Welcome to the weekend, friendos! Mere hours away from quitting time, and there’s so much great music to look forward to this weekend. We’ve got some choice grooves on tap from Disco Biscuits, who are closing out their three-night Colorado run tomorrow night at 1STBANK Center, some heavy goodness from…
After months and months of outrageous speculation, fake posters and seemingly endless chatter, this year’s Coachella lineup has finally been revealed. If you haven’t seen it yet, we can summarize it for you in one word: underwhelming — well, unless you’re like certain friends of ours who think that bands…
Remember earlier this week when we gave you a chance to win tickets to this year’s edition of Icelantic’s Winter on the Rocks concert featuring Macklemore and Ryan Lewis with Major Lazer and Grouch and Eligh, and we made mention of the note on Ticketmaster’s site that some tickets would…
We’re not going to lie here: The fact that the Baltimore Ravens are heading for the Big Easy next weekend instead of our beloved Broncos stings more than the time we faceplanted on the playground in third grade and mom had to pluck shards of gravel from our mangled paw…
So this Win a Date With Marnie Stern contest everybody is working themselves into a lather about this morning is ingenious. Seriously. Worked like a charm, Kill Rock Stars. Way to go! Problem is, the label, which is financing this enviable excursion to promote Stern’s forthcoming Chronicles of Marnia, has…
The Summit Music Hall officially opened its main room in July 2010. A couple of months prior to that, however, the folks over at Soda Jerk began hosting smaller local shows in the front part of the venue. Since then, while there have been some shows in that front room,…
Update 1/25/13: Congratulations to Allison Satterfield and Emily Polster. Each of you and a guest will be our guests at Icelantic’s Winter on the Rocks next week. Please check your email for details on how to claim your tickets. Thanks to everybody else for all the great entries. Check back…
Tomorrow night at Beauty Bar, So What! The Club celebrates its twentieth year of keeping Denver funky. Earlier this week, we shared some of the fliers from the early days when the night first got going at City Spirit on through its move to various other locales, including 9th Avenue…
Evidently, Zac Brown isn’t the only one who likes his chicken fried, along with a cold beer on a Friday night and a pair of jeans that fit just right — at least judging from the fact that the country crooner’s upcoming date at Red Rocks on Wednesday, May 8,…
