Here what the area’s local-centric specialty radio shows were spinning this week. We’re currently tracking the playlists a number of different shows including, KTCL’s Locals Only, 99.5 the Mountain’s Homegrown Show, The Colorado Sound, which originates at KRFC and is re-broadcast all over Colorado, and The Colorado Wave, which is…
Joe Thunder is not a DJ. Nor is he an MC. Just the same, he’s a widely recognizable figure in the local hip-hop scene, and he’s equally as well regarded as those who are making the music. A tireless champion of Colorado hip-hop, Joe has been doing everything he can…
And the waves of exposure just keep rolling in for Candy Claws. Fresh after being written up in the latest issue of Spin – as we mentioned recently, the magazine included a track from the group amongst its Songs You Must Hear Now list — the Fort Collins-based act was…
The Green Route Festival, taking place tomorrow from 2-11 p.m. at 26th & Walnut, has a pretty stellar local lineup. In case you haven’t seen it, the bill includes the Rouge, Air Dubai, the Still City, the Photo Atlas, Soulaju with DJ Cysko Rokwell, Cavem Moetivation and Jonny 5 of…
Denver Does Denver sounds more salacious than it is — though we’re sure there’s a sexualized metaphor in there somewhere that was intended. If you haven’t heard about it, Denver Does Denver, slated to take place tomorrow night at the Meadowlark, is a rad little show put together by the…
Ray LaMontagne is a notoriously reclusive artist. When it comes to giving interviews, he may well be music’s JD Salinger. Okay, maybe he’s not that isolated. But, seriously, how many in-depth profiles have you read about the guy? Precisely. Good for him, then, that his music needs no introduction. With…
File under: SUH-WEET! Referring, of course, to the new Havok T-shirts. Have you seen them? We repeat: SUH-FRICKIN’-WEET! Assuming these bad boys come in double extra fat guy … checking … ahem, this just in, they do! … we’re going to … doo-dee-doo, click, click, click … order this one…
Ah, looks like we’re finally going to get around to screening Oddsac, Animal Collective’s twisted take on cinema verite (see trailer after the jump), thanks to the lovely chaps from Analog Space and their esteemed counterparts at Research & Development, who will be treating us all to a night of…
After a concerted effort to keep things going after splitting with former frontwoman Kyle Simmons and swiftly naming her replacement, Katrina Stone, who accompanied them on this year’s Warped Tour, it appears that the remaining members of Speakeasy Tiger have reached another crossroads, and perhaps an impasse…
As people who think about, talk about, listen to and make music, the most persistent question we encounter is: “What are you listening to right now?” Whether you’re looking for recommendations, trying to get a feel for our individual sensibilities, or are just curious, we’ve compiled a list of all…
Okay, gonna go out on a limb here and say that tix for these dates are probably going to sell out in a little more than the time it takes to read this item: We just learned that Phish — hot on the heels of a pair of well-received dates…

All right, so this doesn’t happen every day: We just received word that local songstress Wendy Woo is going to be getting hitched next Saturday to Charles Snynder, whom she met a decade ago and reconnected with last year. The way we understand it, Snyder initially hired her to perform…
You have to admire the 3OH!3 dudes. Say what you will about the guys, about their lyrics being trite or the music being disposable electro pop, as some critics contend. While those points are debatable, you can’t argue with the fact that the fellas have their sound and shtick down…
Oh, man, this is the goods! Have you heard the new Cee Lo Green cut, “F**CK YOU”? Gonna go ahead and call this now: This track will, in all likelihood, end up being my favorite song of the year. Even though the song is reportedly the first single from Cee…
Update: We’ve picked a winner. Congratulations to Fletcher Davis! Thanks to the fine folks at Mtn Dew’s Green Label Sound, who set us up with the tix, he and a guest will be our guests tonight at the Ogden. A big shout-out to everyone who entered! Be sure to check…
What a difference a year makes — well, give or take a few months. While it hasn’t quite been a year yet, when it launched its online tour last winter, Candy Claws was still something of an unknown quantity outside of Denver and its home of Fort Collins. And now,…
So, turns out, Pavement may not be as popular in Denver as once suspected. While initially this notion is admittedly somewhat deflating, this is actually great news if you’re a fan of the band: We just received word that the Pavement show, originally slated to take place on Thursday, September…
It is impossible to resist the undeniable charms of The ReMINDers. Not that we’re even remotely interested in resisting, mind you. Just pointing it out. Here we have a clip of Aja Black and Big Samir turning heads at Chicago’s Takin’ It to the Streets Festival earlier this summer. You…
So this is kind of rad: I’m listening to Sirius XMU right now and in between cuts from No Age and LCD Soundsystem, I just heard that song “Marathon” from Tennis, the breezy, uplifting one that kind of reminds me of “Bruises” by Chairlift — another lauded act with Colorado…

At the beginning of the year, you might recall us mentioning something about Overcasters heading to Hollywood later in the year, where they’d spend a week tracking their new album with Rick Parker, a producer with a list of credits that includes records by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and the…
