We heard this pair of deadly MCs were collaborating this week somewhere in South Florida, and now we have visual confirmation: King F.O.E. and SP Double are indeed putting in work at the studio. Watch the pair put it down live and chop it up with the cats right now…
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…
It’s a good thing 3OH!3 has inspired the rabid support of the fans (Streets of Gold debuted in the top ten of Billboard 200 and “My First Kiss,” the inescapable ditty featuring Kesha, looks to be headed toward platinum status), because thus far, the Boulder ballers are encountering growing disdain…
Colorado hip-hop is serious right now, and there’s a bunch of cats making moves. Hot on the heels of his runner-up finish to back-to-back winner Boonie Mayfield in the recent Red Bull Big Tune battle, Xperiment is the latest addition to the Humble Beast roster. Based in Portland, Oregon, the…
Well how do you like that? As we post this, yet another Colorado-based act is getting prime exposure on Pitchfork. That’s what we’re talking about. Within the past month, no less than four local artists — including Pictureplane, Woodsman, Tennis and Candy Claws — have been prominently featured on the…
As it happens, we don’t have a spare $700 or so laying around. Boy, if we did, though, you wouldn’t really have to be the betting type to wager where we’d be on Friday, October 1 through Sunday, October 3. No contest: Matador at 21 in Las Vegas. Have you…
Today’s a pretty big day for Danielle Anderson. Not only is the YouTube darling featured on the front page of, well, YouTube (see the clip being touted after the jump), but today marks the release of her brand new record, Two Bedroom Apartment. Oh and she’s celebrating by playing some…
Oh, and speaking of reunions, we’ve received word that these dudes are getting back together one more time for old time’s sake. In case you don’t recognize the faces in the above clip or you haven’t deduced from the handy headline: We’re speaking of Crestfallen, featuring our own Jason Heller…
At one of his shows recently, Dan Craig invited his old Hearts of Palm/Nathan & Stephen bandmate Nathan McGarvey onstage for an acoustic rendition of “Happier.” McGarvey’s better half, the lovely and talented Emily DeRousse was there and happened the captured the moment on film. She shared the footage with…
Nine years ago … trying to think of what the world was like nine years ago. Hmm … let’s see … that would’ve been back before we documented our every movement, breath, thought and whereabouts on Facebook and Twitter, back when the notion of a Smartphone was still pretty foreign,…
Remember Tennis, the great new band we introduced you to last week? What are we saying? Of course you do. Tennis is now your new favorite sport, eh. Well, tonight at the Meadowlark you’ll have a chance to catch the group in person and determine if the husband and wife…
Great news for The Epilogues: Not only did they win a Westword Music Showcase award last night, but we’ve tallied the votes and they’ve also earned a slot at this year’s Mile High Music Festival. The outfit is slated to play on Sunday, August 15. Congrats, gentlemen!…
Ah, so this is why Kamtin Mohager from the Chain Gang of 1974 wasn’t on hand to collect his Westword Music Showcase award last night. The 3OH!3 cats are sounding tighter and tighter in the band context, eh? And props to Kimmel and company for being much more generous in…
Whoo boy! What a time we had last night. Every year, I’m always so energized after hosting the awards ceremony — not to mention hungover (more on that in a minute). As I mentioned last night (numerous times, apparently), I’m really in love with this town, with this scene and…
Okay, now this is a rad video. In case you haven’t seen it, here’s the new Pictureplane video, which is screening right now on Pitchfork (can’t beat the ongoing exposure the act’s been getting). For our money, the threshold effect applied to the clip suits the music and aesthetic of…
Fresh off a visit to Daytrotter yesterday for a session we presume will be shared sometime in the near future, Woodsman is the other Denver-based act with a video screening on Pitchfork right now. A performance clip, the video features the Woodsman brethren rocking out to their song “Insects” –…
If the above tweet is to be believed, when the 3OH!3 hooligans perform two songs tonight on Jimmy Kimmel Live! (“My First Kiss” and “Déjà Vu”), we can expect to see gold — lots of gold, evidently. Oh, and massive amounts of chest hair (not as much of that, though,…
Shhh! Can you keep a secret? No? That’s what we figured. Ah, well, guess it’s good thing it’s not really a secret, huh? On Tuesday, to celebrate the highly anticipated release of its new album, Streets of Gold, 3OH!3 is slated to give a brief performance at Fiske Planetarium up…
Okay, been hearing about this one for a minute, and now, after getting just a small taste, we’re even more eager to hear this mixtape when it’s done. Our boy Lenny Lenn just blessed us with a sneak peek of F.O.E. and Whygee in the studio embodying the idea of…
Alright, now that the Showcase is in the rearview and things have started calming down around here for us, making this the perfect time for us to add some new members to our team to help us cover the scene even more thoroughly. With that in mind, we’re on the…
Update, 11/08/10: See cover art and get other details regarding Cape Dory, Tennis’s eagerly-anticipated forthcoming debut on Fat Possum Records. Remember a couple years ago when the Young Coyotes first hit the scene and the almost deafening insta-buzz that followed? Meet Tennis, this year’s Young Coyotes — not to mention…
Holy goddamn! Same beard, different band. Here’s another clip shot by the fantastical Jim Huck, featuring the one and only Kingdom of Magic. This one here’s a little ditty called “The Flame Draws the Honey Bee.”…
