As hopes continue to diminish for another installment of Monolith, we couldn’t help but notice this post on the festival’s facebook page, subsequent to the announcement of this year’s Lollapalooza lineup. Funny, we were thinking exactly the same thing, actually: Congratulations to all the MONOLITH alumni playing Lollapalooza this year:…
Oh heavens, just stumbled across this clip, which, if you’re asking, is 75 different kinds of awesome. How about a refreshing new variation on the now well trend of twisting well known tunes into nearly unrecognizable shapes (hello, Richard Cheese, Nouvelle Vague, Dirty Projectors — how y’all doing), like, say,…
Andy Hackbarth is back in Colorado after spending the past four years in Nashville, where the sheen of that town’s assembly-line production evidently rubbed off on his music. Just the same, Hackbarth, the son of llama ranchers, is no country bumpkin. In fact, Hackbarth is tailor-made for hot AC radio…
The Chain Gang of 1974 has finally completed work on its new album, White Guts, slated for release on Tuesday, April 27. Impatient like us and don’t feel like waiting that long to hear it? No worries. Head on over to the hi-dive next Friday, April 16 (with former Chain…
The Cadava Records crew is in the building, folks. This song and its accompanying video is straight fire. The clip, Vince Lance’s first, which stars the Afterlife Allstars — RRAAHH Foundashun’s Life The M.C, Azma, last seen in US Pipe, Status (Bagz of Dagga), Manic, Louie Cypha (Rotten) and Krookid…
This year’s Lollapalooza lineup has been revealed. Bold face names this time around: Soundgarden, Green Day, Lady Gaga, Arcade Fire and Erykah Badu, alongside nearly ninety of the brightest emerging acts, including MGMT, Grizzly Bear, the National, Yeasayer, Phoenix, Frightened Rabbit and Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, among others…
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, The Colorado Sound, which originates at KRFC and is re-broadcast all over Colorado, 99.5 the Mountain’s Homegrown Show, and the…
Love comes easy when you’re young — but so does heartbreak. Such is the conceit of today’s song, fittingly titled “Young Love,” by the Jonathan Tyler and the Northern Lights. On the word of our boy Mark at the Toad Tavern, who booked these guys not to long ago, and…
Okay, whoever speculated that Dave Matthews Band and the Samples were going to be a part of this year’s Mile High Music Festival: Sorry we doubted you. You were right, evidently. So was the guy who said Jack Johnson, as well as the person who pointed us in the direction…
Update: Lineup announced! Jack Johnson, the Dave Matthews Band, Weezer and more. Click here for full lineup. With no Rothbury this year and the 1st Bank Center renovations behind them, looks like Chuck Morris and his AEG live crew have more time to devote their full attention towards the Mile…
Just caught an interview on MTV with the 3OH!3 dudes about the new album, Streets of Gold. Evidently, Ke$ha, with whom the boys collaborated with on her chartbuster, “Blah Blah Blah,” is slated to appear on track from the new record called, “My First Kiss,” produced by Dr. Luke and…
Every Friday we spotlight the hottest cats (and kittens) behind the decks in the MHC, grilling them to gain some insight on what it takes, exactly, to get the party rocking, to find out about their most treasured crate digging experiences and what they really think when we stumble up…
Today’s song of the day comes from an utterly bewitching Swedish duo known as jj. Comprised of Joakim Benon and Elin Kastlander, the group is in the midst of embarking on its first ever tour of the States with xx, a kindred act with an equally google defying moniker. Bummer…
After a stint supporting Megadeth on its Endgame tour with Machinehead and Suicide Silence last fall, Arcanium has landed a slot on another high profile tour. At the end of the month, the Loveland-based metal act will join Bullet for My Valentine, Chiodos and Airbourne on the road. The twenty…
Well, can you? Look closely. No, more closely. Who do you think it could be? Which well known local music personality do you think posed for this album cover at the behest of his father, who just happened to work in the marketing department of Del Monte at the time…
File under: Best. Song. Ever. Well, today, anyway. Such is the conceit for our latest feature, the cleverly dubbed Song of the Day. Today’s song, a bewitching number called “Big Jet Plane” by Australian siblings Angus & Julia Stone. Hometown hit maker Frank E turned us on via a tweet…
Here’s what we know about Nicholi White: He’s fourteen-years-old. His birthday is January 26. He’s a middle schooler that lives in Harlem, New York. He’s a self-described entertainer, which means he performs and acts. And, most importantly, he’s just this side of AWESOME! Anyone who films himself shamelessly groovin’ to…
Strange Powers moved back to the Mile High City from Austin last fall. Austin, he says, is not all it’s cracked up to be. And besides that, he missed the Queen City, the place where he grew up, and where, given the choice, he prefers to hang his hat (know…
Do you secretly fantasize about being a video vixen like Tawny Kitaen, looking all sorts of sultry with that come hither stare of yours, while perched on the hood of a Jaguar driven by David Coverdale? Yeah? Not going to happen. Wake up, dude. It’s 2010. That was a Whitesnake…
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…
Turntablists, mark your calendars: Saturday, May 1 at the Walnut Room, DMC Denver is going down. And two of the Mile High City’s finest DJs, Vajra and Chonz, will be judging to determine who advances to the DMC finals in New York this fall. Better bring your A-game, though. Both…
Leave it to the dudes from A Shoreline Dream to turn their simple road trip to Austin a few weeks ago to perform at that city’s annual South By Southwest festival into a notably artistic, three-minute long dream sequence. In addition to making the journey seem way cooler than it…
