During its relatively short life of a little over a year, Itchy-O Marching Band (due Sunday, May 22nd at Sutra) has left quite an impression on anyone who has seen this group of around thirty people in uniforms that make them look like a special unit of interdimensional troubadours…
Earlier on in his career, Curren$y (performing this evening at the Fox Theatre with Trademark, Young Roddy, Fiend and Corner Boy P) ran with the likes of Master P and Lil Wayne, via the rappers’ infamous entourage/record labels, No Limit and Young Money. Now releasing albums on his own through…
DJ MUGGS Seied • Deemster • Minnesota • 6Blocc 05.19.11 | Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom Last night, amidst storm clouds and persistent rainfall, DJ Muggs stopped by Cervantes’ for the Royal Family Ball and laid down an impressive display of turntablism.

Earlier this year, a report surfaced detailing current BitTorrent usage, with porn being the number one most torrented media and music sinking to a miserable 2.9 percent. Now, Sandvine company has detailed the biggest data hogs of the past year, and Netflix’s streaming is on the top. When is the…
Thank goodness Thursday has come around again, we were beginning to think Noah was going to come floating by on in Arc with two of each animal. Luckily even as our streets are flowing with water, our venues are flooding with big things to do. Check out our wrap-up for…
UPDATE: A review of the U2 concert at Invesco Field has been posted, and below, we’ve added a time-lapse/highlight video clip of the claw being erected. If the weather gods are to be believed, this string of shitty weather we’ve endured for the past few days will be but a…
Greensky Bluegrass (playing tonight at the Bluebird with White Water Ramble) is a band best experienced live. Though the group has put out a handful of records in the last decade, its traditional bluegrass instrumentation and jam-like improvisation comes to life outside of the studio. Greensky is well aware of…

When we think of monthly electronic music series, we tend to assume they’ll follow a very specific theme throughout their existence. That’s not exactly the case with 187 Ultra, the new musical series being curated by Sole and Pictureplane at the hi-dive — although you could argue that eclecticism is…
System of Down (due tonight at Comfort Dental Amphitheatre with Gogol Bordello) played its first show in five years last week at Rexall Place in Edmonton, AB, Canada. Early reports suggest the band is back in fine form — at least from the reviews and the fan-shot clips that appeared…
Columbia’s Bomba Estereo (playing tonight at the Larimer Lounge with ManCub and Izcalli) began as the mostly electronic solo project of bassist Simon Mejia, but after his first release under the moniker, he expanded the dance project to a full band. Carried by the punchy, bratty vocals of Liliana Saumet,…
When it comes to metaphors and posters, we like things that are easy to understand and relatively simple. That said, we’re not sure exactly how we’re supposed to feel about this image of a seemingly diseased heart and lungs, but it’s so damn fitting for Roger Green’s style of Americana-melancholia…
Update (5/25): Video clip of Nathaniel Rateliff performing “We Never Win” on Later with Jools Holland this past Tuesday added below. Just in time for the arrival in local bookstores of the issue of Q featuring him, we’ve received word that Nathaniel Rateliff is slated to play Later With Jools…
Great news regarding the Time Capsule tapes we wrote about a few weeks ago: We’re happy to report that all of the reels were able to be salvaged and have since been entrusted into the care of the folks at Decibel Garden Studios, who have graciously agreed to serve as…
To say that New Orleans collective My Jerusalem (playing the Larimer Lounge tonight with Michael Kingcaid and Sour Boy, Bitter Girl) is a supergroup would be a mild understatement. Led by Jeff Klein, the group features members who have played in bands such as Cursive, the Twilight Singers, the Polyphonic…
With the exception of the main headliners (Dennis DeYoung and the Gin Blossoms) and a handful of new local acts, the lineup for this year’s Denver Day of Rock Concerts for Kids (taking place for free on five stages along the 16th Street Mall, between 15th and 16th Streets, on…
CRYSTAL STILTS Overcasters • Force Publique 05.16.11 | Larimer Lounge While it was a bit of an odd choice for Force Publique to open for a reverb-drenched indie pop band, Cassie McNeil and James Wayne’s industrial-tinged goth pop sounded as good as it did when we last caught the duo…
For the past two years, the Burning Angels have been stoked if we get fifty people in the room,” says Casey James Prestwood. “We’re even more stoked if twenty of those people are paying attention or even dancing. So playing with Drive-By Truckers at the Ogden recently, that was a…
While Forest Room 5 (2532 15th Street) has booked its share of live music over the years, manager Jordan Hubner says the place just didn’t have room to do it right. But now the back area is being overhauled to create a 120-capacity performance space, complete with stage and PA,…
