The last few month have been unkind to a few local groups. It seemed like everywhere we looked bands were getting their gear jacked. Thankfully, Colorado loves to help when these things happen, that’s where Loss Prevention Thanksgiving comes into play…
It’s a four-day weekend, and that means we get to kick off 10 for $10 early this week, with tons of awesome bonus stuff for you to do when you’re not stuck in a turkey coma listening to your aunt ramble on about her new kitten. We’ve got plenty of…
Astrophagus unceremoniously ended its run this past September at Lost Lake. Bolstering the adage that you can’t keep good men down, we’ve learned that the Cain brothers, Jason and Josh, are about to resurface as Port Au Prince, with a little help from their friends Hunter Dragon on drums, Brian…
Local one-man shoegaze-cum-folk-act Irene’s March, aka Jeff Minter, has decided to drop a 268-megabyte bomb on our ears right before Thanksgiving. The collection, titled Awakenings, spans three volumes and includes 38 songs recorded over five weeks. All together, it clocks in at over two and half hours (!)…
It seems like each holiday season is accented by a new, heavily researched American history novel. We’d venture a guess that it’s because they sell well as Christmas presents, usually given to the mom or dad that simply “likes history.” What else are you going to buy these folks, a…
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, which means many people are in store for one hell of a four day weekend. Before that happens we have to deal with one of these pesky two day weekends, or “the bane of Western society” as we like to call them. Two days…
Bashing someone’s face in, locking their arms down, kicking them in the stomach — it’s all in a day’s work for a mixed martial artist. Of course, every fighter has to have a teacher to learn technique from, which is where Billy Hendricks, a former MMA fighter, comes in. As…
Holy smokes, we’ve got a whole bunch of early holiday gifts from a few Denver musicians and ex-musicians today. Whether you’re into some amazing chamber pop, some wacked out transdimensional electro or some mind-bending experimental electronic music, you’re in for free music today. Everything Absent or Distorted (a love story)…
Between 1955 and 1968, there were approximately 130 murder cases connected to the civil rights movement. These murders fascinate Jake Adam York, and in his newest collection of poems, Persons Unknown, he looks closely at the unknown and oftentimes forgotten voices of the movement. “It contributes to this ongoing series…
Improvisational comedy is a risky business — both for the performers, who must create art on the spot, and the audiences, who some-times must suffer through skits that fall flat. But that won’t be a concern when the Upright Citizen’s Brigade brings its zany antics to town tonight. The UCB’s…
More than a hundred years after his first appearance, fans and writers are still compelled to study and perform the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and his resolute sidekick, Dr. Watson. It’s this very hunger for mystery that brought about Sherlock Holmes and the Spinsters of Blackmead, an original new play…
It turns out running a business is hard. Like, a real pain in the ass. All the annoying employees wanting food and water and janitors and whatnot. If you’ve been contemplating opening up your own business, or if you already own one but for some reason want to pretend like…
Man, being in a band is hard. Sometimes it’s so hard that in order to eat, you need to stand on Colfax and Speer to get people into your show. That was apparently the reason why the bands decided to utilize the cardboard box to advertise their show this Saturday,…
Are you starting to get nervous about the holidays yet? They’re just around the corner and shopping season kicks off in a week. Perhaps you’re worried you won’t know what to pick up for that estranged uncle that inexplicably sent you a gift last year, or maybe you have a…
According to an official statement from Brownmark Films, the company, best known for the above completely idiotic video and Internet phenomenon from 2007, has decided to file a lawsuit against Viacom International, Comedy Partners, Paramount Pictures Corporation, MTV Networks and South Park Digital Studios LLC, with accusations of copyright infringement…
We don’t generally spend too much time talking about gear here, but over the last couple of days, two incredibly rad and hard to ignore apps made it onto the iPad. We’re talking about the release of ReBirth and the Korg iMS-20 — both of which, even if you’re not…
The holidays are getting closer every week, but for those of us that aren’t interested in shopping yet, there’s still plenty to do on the cheap. Actually, you can even go shopping this weekend if you’d like to hit up the DIY goods fair, but if the words “party” and…
Recently, there have been a slew of ill-advised memoirs from people far too young and inexperienced to share their stories with the world. Steve Katz doesn’t have that problem. The 75-year-old Denver author started writing his memoir five years ago, and it has since become a collection of over 100…
We first got a glimpse of the upcoming Warlock Pinchers film a few months ago. At the time, we weren’t entirely certain when it would arrive. Now we know: Just in time for the Warlock Pinchers New Year’s Eve show at the Gothic Theatre, Eyeosaur Productions is slated to release…
“As I came out of the womb, my father handed me a pencil, and I’ve been writing ever since,” says local author Steve Katz, whose new book, Time’s Wallet celebrates its release today. The book is the first part of a memoir that will end up spanning two or three…
The itchy-O Marching Band will take its, ahem, marching antics to cable TV tonight for an episode of the DIY Network’s Disaster House, a show that’s best known for demonstrating unusual techniques to destroy homes and then showing you how to fix them back up. Tonight’s episode, which airs at…
Kanye has gotten a lot of flack for doing some absolutely wonky things. Most recently, a photo of his junk mysteriously appeared on the Internet, followed by word that he copped the microphone on a Delta flight last week to perform for the cabin, and last night, he evidently had…
