Is Westword’s editor a juggalo?

The Larimer Lounge may be one of Denver’s great venues, but when the smoke machines fog the air, it’s impossible to tell.

Kimberly Freeman and Jason Rufuss Sewell’s project One-Eyed Doll is so contemporarily Goth-punk, that they might as well have Emily the Strange singing for them, Gorrilaz-style. But that’s just the surface, and it needs to be scratched.

Wolves in the Throne Room laments the impact Nazis are having on the black metal scene.

Golden, Colorado, right at the foot of the Rockies, between Lookout Mountain and the Two Table Mountains, is an unlikely venue for Wolf Fest, Metro Denver’s major annual sleaze/hair metal festival, but life is full of surprises.

Aaron Lee Tasjan is not your typical Americana singer. He doesn’t wear flannel shirts or wail about loneliness in a deep baritone. Nope. Tasjan croons whimsically on topics that range from smoking dope to the bars in Los Angeles to more meta musings on the images that we experience the world through.

Electronic music fans, rejoice. Tickets are on sale for this year’s Decadence, and the lineup has been announced.

Lana Del Rey is headed to Denver.

When Damon Albarn, the creative madman behind the genre-bending collective Gorillaz, emerged onto the Red Rocks stage Tuesday night, my first thought was that he looked like he’d either been plucked from a bus stop on Colfax Avenue or he’d just rolled out of bed.

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.

Winter is coming, but so is the Game of Thrones live concert experience! The world of Westeros will come to the Pepsi Center on Friday, September 14, 2018.

“At the show, I was wearing my most favorite vintage coat that I had picked up in a thrift store in Pennsylvania, where I’m originally from, for $3. It was a delicious rusty brown, with a unique pattern, fur collar, and gold material on the inside. It smelled like an old lady. It was fierce!

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.

For much of the 1990s and certainly the ’00s, it looked very much like Adam Ant’s career had hit the skids. 1990’s Manners & Physique and ’95s Wonderful albums were hardly disasters, but in comparison to the huge success that he had enjoyed prior to that, they were largely ignored.

It’s a busy week at Red Rocks with Sturgill Simpson there tonight, Gorillaz tomorrow and Fleet Foxes on Wednesday, while Scorpions headline1STBANK Center with Megadeth opening.

On September 22, we wrote that former Smiths singer Morrissey would be headed back to Colorado for a concert at the Paramount Theatre. Morrissey has become known for many things: His songwriting, his hairdo and his vegan antics. Sadly, he’s also getting a bad reputation for not showing up when he says he will – and cancelling even once he arrives.

Our favorite vegan post-punk heartthrob, Morrissey is coming to Denver, and it couldn’t be a second too soon.

It seems entirely appropriate that Denver indie-dreampop outfit Tyto Alba is named after the Latin translation of “barn owl.” After all, that bird is elegant, thought to be highly intelligent (or at least bookish), and single-minded in its efficiency.
