Update (12/15/11): My Body Sings Electric named as one of this year’s top three finalists in KTCL’s Hometown for the Holidays promotion.

Welcome to Memory Lane Monday, our latest feature in which we hop into the Hot Tub Time Machine and spotlight a band from the bursting annals of bygone Denver music. This week: Lionize, a band we used to catch once upon a time when we were underage at Sonesta in…

Update (2/12/12): Winner! Congrats to OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder, who won a Grammy tonight for his contribution to Adele’s 21, which snagged an award for Album of the Year — well, and a slew of other nods, as suspected. While Ryan Tedder has garnered his share of acclaim fronting his band,…

Red Rocks, end of January,Atmosphere, Greives, Yelawolf and Z-Trip? That’s what we’re hearing. We know: The prospect of seeing a show at Red Rocks in January seems, well, frosty, about as plausible as, say, seeing an NFL quarterback who cannot throw leading his team to W after W… Wait, what?…
Sad news to share with you this evening, in case you haven’t heard: We just received word that “Michigan” Mike Torpie died yesterday at the age of 43. Originally from Michigan (thus the nickname), Torpe moved to Colorado in December 1992. A vital, highly esteemed and beloved member of the…
