WTF, Insane Clown Posse?

Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope of Insane Clown Posse may not be great rappers, but they sure know how to build the juggalo family.

Meet Falli, the Unknown Denver Rapper Opening for Insane Clown Posse

Denver is known for its creative industries, its proximity to the mountains and its rising home prices. Also, “Denver is the juggalo capital of the world”, says Jake Falli, a 21-year-old second-generation juggalo who will serve as the unlikely opener for Insane Clown Posse, which will be playing the Boulder Theater tonight, Monday, September 25.

Don’t Let CRUSH Fool You: Denver Is Ready to Brush Off Graffiti

It’s easy to think that Denver actually condones graffiti because of the praise it poured on last weekend’s street-art-is-good-for-development CRUSH festival, in the once-graffitied, industrial neighborhood that’s now the RiNo Art District. But the city still has it in for spray-paint toting vandals.

Sie FilmCenter Boots DocuWest; Alamo Saves the Festival

Wade Gardner has been running the DocuWest Film Festival on a shoestring budget since 2008. For the past few years, the bootstrapping filmmaker, programmer and activist rented space in the Sie FilmCenter so that he could bring cutting-edge documentaries to the region. Not anymore.

Dancing in the Face of Deportation

The Raven and the Writing Desk’s Francis Bacon-Like Music Video

Last month we brought you to the front lines of a struggle between local musicians who said they had been screwed out of gigs they had been promised at a summer music festival put on by Stella’s on 16th, a restaurant which closed down just a week after our report.

SF1 Drops Music Video for Pop Hip-Hop Earworm “Honest”

Shane Franklin, who raps under the name SF1, has dropped a minimalist music video for his catchy pop hip-hop song “Honest” that nods back to the freewheeling chock-full-of-humor spirit of De La Soul, one part goofy and another part charming as all get out.

SCI Drummer Scolds Antifa, Goes on Bizarre “Jewish Banking” Rant

The left has had an internal debate about the rise of white supremacy as of late: punch a Nazi, or love a Nazi? String Cheese Incident drummer Michael Travis decided to riff on the topic on his Facebook page, where he bashed antifascists for engaging in violent clashes with white supremacists in Charlottesville. But that wasn’t all.

The Myth of the Lumineers

The Lumineers blasted into stardom with the earworm “Ho Hey” on the act’s 2012 self-titled debut full-length. The indie-folk rockers were armed with catchy, stripped-down songs and a marketable story about how in 2009, founders Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites ditched prestigious New York City for Denver, which was then a cheap cowtown — at least that’s how their story goes.

RIP, Art: RiNo Residents Mourn the Death of the River North Neighborhood
