SAVOY at the FILLMORE | 11/11/11In front of an estimated crowd of 3,600, Savoy took the stage at exactly 11:11 p.m. on November 11, 2011. While this is only marvelous due to the nature of wishes, everyone in the Fillmore last night, from the sixteen-year-old first timers to the electro-house…

LYKKE LI at the OGDEN | 11/11/11Lykke Li is imperfect. She has acne, patchy uneven skin and greasy hair. At last night’s performance at the Ogden, it was these facets of her physical body that made Li an even bigger, brighter star to the almost (if not) sold-out crowd. In…

If you visit the A&M/Octone Records website right now, you might recognize a familiar face on the artist page next to Maroon 5, Hollywood Undead and the other acts. Adam Duncan is the latest addition to the label’s roster. Duncan, a homegrown vocalist who first made his name as O.N.E.,…

Giving others the chance to enjoy up-and-coming artists in small venues was the reason Brennan Bryarly started The Hundred. Bryarly, a resident DJ at Lipgloss under the name option4, got to see world-renowned turntablist A-Trak in a room of about forty people at South By Southwest a few years ago,…

PUSCIFER AT PARAMOUNT THEATRE | 11/10/11This was not Tool. If this point wasn’t already clear to those familiar with Puscifer, it was driven home, when Maynard James Keenan appeared on stage dressed like Kenny Chesney, black cowboy hat and all, in front of a goddamn Airstream trailer and barbecue grill…

There’s an astounding number of great shows to pick from this weekend in the Mile High City: Lykke Li at the Ogden, Tech N9Ne kicks off his two-night Denver run with an intimate show tonight at the Summit Music Hall, followed by an appearance at the Fillmore, North Mississippi Allstars…

Savoy’s live electro stylings will light up the Fillmore Auditorium tonight; the New York-based (by-way-of-Denver) band returns to the Mile High City tonight for its first headlining show at the Fillmore. (7 p.m., all ages, $25 and up) The Whomp Truck has something special planned for 11/11/11, including a countdown…

Update (11/10/11): While most press releases generally tend to be fairly rote and often times hyperbolic, the one we received about the forthcoming Bad Weather California record, which has Seth Olinsky rhapsodizing about first meeting and then later working with the band, was insightful, and we thought it merited sharing…

Did you wake up a little earlier than usual yesterday hoping to get your hands on some Radiohead tickets during that special W.A.S.T.E. presale only to be disappointed? We started getting frustrated WTF?! emails and comments around 7 a.m. So apparently you were not alone. Not everybody, it seems, however,…

MASTODON at OGDEN THEATRE | 11/9/11The Dillinger Escape Plan stole the show a bit last night. The band started off with a driving drum beat introduction that shook sternums. After leaping on stage, lead singer Greg Puciato screamed into the mike, “Let’s cut the fucking bullshit,” and he and his…

Zome’s work with the Diamond Boiz is typically marked by hard rhymes and heavy beats. On his latest solo effort, Z-Funk Era, the MC showcases a completely different side of his production and rap prowess. The rhythmic vocal structures found in his carefully crafted samples bolster his rapid rapping style…

The Mile High Sound Movement is a collective of artists, ranging from MCs and producers to photographers and artists. Zack Karuzas, both a rising local MC and co-founder of Mile High Sound Movement, spared his lunch hour to talk with us about “Warm Beats for Cold Streets,” a project started…

Have you heard? Rockstar Aaron is a horrible DJ. So horrible, even, he made a song about it. Produced by Daniel Hyatt, Aaron’s debut single “Horrible DJ,” released yesterday, is meant to be tongue-in-cheek but also to start a conversation among those who might not know the brightly colored DJ…

During his three decades as a promoter, Barry Fey brought in legendary acts like the Rolling Stones, the Who, the Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and U2. In his new book, Backstage Past, released yesterday on Lone Wolfe Press, Fey chronicles behind-the-scenes stories, some of which have never been made…

Legendary straight-edge hardcore band Youth of Today has postponed its Denver show slated for this Thursday at the Summit Music Hall, but organizers say a make-up gig is in the works. We can’t confirm any details yet, more than Youth of Today (who had D.Y.S. listed as a special guest)…

“Get your affairs in order. You have a couple months.” Those are words you never want to hear, especially when you’re barely in the prime of your life, just 37 years young. That’s the kind of talk that takes your legs out from under you right where you stand. Faced…

Hear that? That’s the comforting sound of pure, undistilled, unbridled jubilance emitting from kids everywhere across the vast expanses of the frozen Front Range this morning. The reason for their glee? Yo Gabba Gabba! Live! is back in town at 1STBANK Center tonight, almost exactly a year after the last…
