What we like about this flier is the remarkably badass-looking, ahem, warhawk. It’s also a picture of a hawk wearing a headdress with what we assume are hawk feathers. That’s like a human wearing a headdress made of human hair. The disembodied head is also screaming at a moon in…
Although the flier touts Eddie Money’s appearance tonight at the Grizzly Rose as a chance to see a live performance of “Everybody Loves Christmas” from the Santa Claus 2 soundtrack, we know why you really want to go. It’s the same reason we would go — to see Money sing…
THE BLACK ANGELS With Overcasters 12.07.10 | Bluebird Theater For some shows, the vibe is everything — a mix of the crowd’s attention (or a lack there of) the lighting and other air-changing provisions, the quality of the sound and a band’s presence, all factor into the success or total…

JonBenét Ramsey is the one who brought them together. Well, it wasn’t so much JonBenét as it was Jeffree Star’s desire for a tattoo of her. And it actually wasn’t even the tattoo itself. It was the pop star and his soon-to-be tattooist Kat Von D’s shared fascination with beauty…
Although Arvada doesn’t have a big rockabilly scene, Jimmy Nigg and his brother grew up there — and that’s where they decided to open Rock-A-Billies. The brothers had spent a year looking all over Denver for the perfect place to put a rockabilly-themed bar; when they found out that the…
