All right, Juggalos, shit’s getting out of hand now. We just saw some pictures of our dude Method Man with his face bloodied after apparently catching some sort of projectile in the face this past weekend while performing at the now infamous 11th Annual Gathering of the Juggalos. What the…
Little did the guys from the Knew know when they picked up a trio of pinatas on Federal this past Friday for their show at the Mile High Music Festival this past weekend that they’d be such a hit. In anticipation of their early afternoon set on the Bison Stage,…
Surely you’ve heard about this by now: Over the weekend, it seems, Tila Tequila narrowly escaped what sounds like an absolutely harrowing ordeal at the 11th Annual Gathering of Juggalos, in which she sustained cuts and bruises to her face and person from being pelted with everything from “beer cans,…
Another Mile High Music Festival is in the books. Weather was ideal, parking was a breeze, and there were plenty of memorable moments at this year’s fest, from Rivers Cuomo wandering through the crowd during Weezer’s set to Z-Trip throwing down a Colorado-centric version of “California Love” to Cypress Hill…
Last time we checked in with Neil McIntyre, he had just realized a dream of trading verses with Kurtis Blow, a bona fied hip-hop legend if there ever was one, on a Littleleague track called “Magic Words.” Tomorrow night at Cleo Parker Robinson, McIntyre will be get to perform alongside…
DJ Quote is no stranger to controversy, having tangled with his fair share of detractors in the past. Actually, he’s no stranger at all: To date, he’s released more than 300 mixtapes, performed at parties at major sporting events across the country, and appeared on national television a handful of…
“C” is for controversy — you know, the thing that media types presumably thrive on, the lifeblood of sites like Radar Online and TMZ. But not all media outlets set out to create controversy. Some just stumble into it. Case in point: Last month, we learned that two groups of…
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, Radio 1190’s Local Shakedown*, KTCL’s Locals Only, KBCO’s Local Edition*, The Colorado Sound, which originates at KRFC and is re-broadcast all over Colorado, 99.5 the Mountain’s Homegrown…
Update: We have a winner. Congratulations to Melissa Taylor! She and a guest will be our guests at Mile High Music Festival this weekend. Check the blog later today. While we don’t have any more tickets to the fest itself, we will have plenty of tickets up for grabs to…
Props are due to the Foodchain, which has reportedly signed a distribution deal with Statik Selektah’s Showoff Records imprint. Statik delivered the news himself last week during his Showoff Radio program on Sirius’s Shade 45 channel (listen after the jump), when he played “Rich Girl Song,” a cut featuring Big…
Tonight, Thursday, August 5, Quixote’s True Blue — that’s the place to be if you love local hip-hop. Presented by Yoseph of Fly Magazine, Dent and Shedrick Garrett, #COHIPHOP Unity Concert 2 is going down. The aim, as you’ve probably deduced from the name of the event, is to bring…
You’ve heard this sound before. It’s nothing new or even particularly novel. At least it won’t strike you as such, particularly if you own the first three U2 albums. Just the same, by god, does it sound absolutely fanfreakingtastic! These dudes just completely smash it on this cut! It’s a…
As people who think about, talk about, listen to and make music, the most common question we encounter is, “What are you listening to right now?” So 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…
Spilling Over Every Side — that’s the name of Pretty Lights’ latest release, and what a perfectly fitting title. Derek Vincent Smith simply doesn’t stop. When we checked in with the Pretty Lights mastermind this past spring, he had just released his new EP, Making Up a Changing Mind, had…
Oh, man, it’s about to get all sorts of dumb over at Gallery 22 on Saturday afternoons. Just heard that the Radio Bums crew is taking over the patio from 1-6 p.m. for The Radio Bums Hangout. If the flier is to be believed the Bums will be throwing down…
While we always suspected that you could really cut a rug to 3OH!3’s music — especially “My First Kiss,” the first single from the outfit’s new album, Streets of Gold, and the video of which also earned the outfit another MTV VMA nomination earlier this week — now we have…
Lest the rest of the country think we’re merely home to indie rock goodness like Candy Claws and sugary sweet electro-pop confections like 3OH!3 or Breathe Carolina, Allegaeon’s new album, Fragments of Form & Function, issued two weeks ago on the storied Metal Blade Records imprint, should help dispel any…
From being praised on Pitchfork to having all of their gear destroyed in a car fire, it’s been a month of ups and downs for Candy Claws. Knock on wood, but things look to be back on the upswing: This weekend at the hi-dive in the company of Achille Lauro…
Breathe Carolina fans already know what “I.D.G.A.F.” stands for — no need to spell things out for them. For everyone else, though, “I.D.G.A.F.,” the acronym, is short for “I Don’t Give a Fuck.” And while we hate to suggest otherwise, it’s seems pretty clear from watching the act’s slick, new,…
Judging from the unusually vitriolic comments left at the bottom of our recent post focusing on SP Double, not everybody holds the MC in a particularly high regard. Just the same, personal misgivings aside, the cat is an absolute beast on the mike. That much is undeniable, as evidenced by…
Here’s another brand new, unreleased ditty to lay on you. This one’s from Concept Oner and features his American Trash Republic counterparts Cody Beastly and Chuck Steaks. More summer than a swimming pool brimming with boisterous kids, this notably laid back little track is built upon a breezy Beatles-like arpeggio…
