After more than a three-year run, Andrew’s on Lincoln’s appears to have closed over the weekend. There’s no word yet on why the club closed or what will happen to the space. Last September, the space was remodeled, and it was essentially divided it into two spaces: one side a…
Good news for those Juggalos dreading the hike up the brutal stairs of Red Rocks: Live Nation just issued word that Insane Clown Posse’s show originally slated for the Rocks this Monday, May 31 has been moved to the Fillmore Auditorium. Kottonmouth Kings, Coolio, Kittie and Necro still open the…
Do you know way too much about who slept with whom in Fleetwood Mac? Do you long for others to witness your disturbingly thorough knowledge of 80s hair-metal drum solos? Do you know jack shit about music but sort of feel like getting hammered in the presence of a bunch…
File this one under: Worst. News. Ever. Well, unless you don’t count yourself as a fan of U2, that is. We’ve just learned that one of the most highly anticipated concerts of the summer, due at Invesco field on Saturday, June 12, has been postponed until sometime in 2011. Although…
Fifteen years ago, the sexually charged acid house group Lords of Acid and the legendary industrial act My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult teamed up for the Sextacy Ball tour. The two acts are joining forces again this summer for a reincarnation of that tour which hits the Ogden…
In possibly one of the strangest bills yet, we’ve just learned that KISS is slated to kick off this year’s Cheyenne Frontier Days and rodeo on Friday, July 23. The other acts on the bill, we think you’ll agree, are slightly less incongruous: Brooks & Dunn, Aaron Tippin & Neal…
It’s no secret that the Internet is a safe-harbor for niche markets and small groups, but that doesn’t mean some of them can’t be extremely helpful in a pinch. Sample-spotting is one that has been incredibly helpful to us on numerous occasions. More and more hip-hop is moving into the…
Lil Slugger • Hot White • Good Old Fashioned Sinners 05.22.10 | Rhinoceropolis Evidently, this was some sort of reunion show for openers Good Old Fashioned Sinners, or perhaps just a coming out of hibernation party. The foursome — looking like they could’ve been in Alice Bowie — launched to…
3OH!3 • Cobra Starship • Travie McCoy • I Fight Dragons05.21.10 | Fillmore Auditorium “We just released another new song on iTunes,” says Nat Motte, riding the fervor of the crowd, pacing back and forth across the stage. “It’s called (pause for effect) ‘Touchin On My’!” The animatronic wolves with…
We unleashed photog Aaron Thackeray on the city this weekend, and he came back with hundreds of photos from Friday’s 3OH!3/Cobra Starship concert, an after-party at Suite 200, the Cuervo Games on Saturday and the Cannabis Cub on Sunday. See the photos at westword.com/slideshow…
We would hate for you to miss out on all the awesome that happens every weekend in our fair city, so we’ve decided to run down five of the best shows in one easy-to-swallow post, with video and audio. Tell us — and the rest of the world — what…
Pitbull’s show at 1stBank Center originally scheduled for Tuesday, May 25 has been postponed to Thursday, July 22 due to scheduling conflicts. Tickets for the May 25 show will be honored for the July 22 show or refunds are available at point of purchase. Reserved tickets also ($32.50-$45) are still…
Earlier this month, with very little fanfare, SP Double, one of the area’s more promising MCs, picked up stakes and headed for the notably sunnier confines of South Florida. The move comes just as SP — who just inked a deal with Digital Dollar, an independent imprint from the Sunshine…
So, you think Lady Gaga is a vapid, no-talent fad? Wrong. You think she’s an entertaining, fun pop star? Wrong. You think she’s a strange, high-concept performance art project meant to manipulate our expectations of what a star is? Getting close but still wrong. Newly revealed, top-secret and utterly batshit…
Nathaniel Rateliff • The Tallest Man on Earth 05.19.10 | Bluebird Theater “Shut up!” demanded one rather surly fellow somewhere in the balcony. In a classic case of the cure being worse than the disease, the indignant exhortation came during the opening strains of “When You’re Here,” which Nathaniel Rateliff…
Um, like, ewww and stuff. That’s about all we have to say about 3OH!3 latest turn on the cover of AP. If you’re keeping track, this is the third time the outfit has graced the cover. For the July edition of the magazine commemorating the Cleveland-based rag’s 25th anniversary, the…
What could be more ridiculous than a tribute band, really? Maybe a tribute band for the hilariously absurd, entirely fictional, animated-series metal outfit Dethklok from the popular Metalocalypse program on the Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim segment. Even deeper into that hole is the fact that an actual band tours as…
The floodwaters might be receding from his home town of Nashville, but Landon Pigg isn’t wallowing in them. Still on the road behind his 2009 full-length, The Boy Who Never, the young singer-songwriter is touring through a string of smaller venues, despite the fact that his star seems to be…
I Fight Dragons is ostensibly edgy because it has an obscure-sounding genre tag: chiptunes. Really, it’s not even that. Chiptunes would be all-eight-bit music, which, if annoying, is at least a challenge. This is just the first HelloGoodbye album, but with NES controllers instead of (or, really, in addition to)…
With a name that refers to an old Jackie Chan movie rather than a phrase from the dictionary of Winston Smith’s Oceania, Nice Nice hails from Olympia, Washington, and offers up music that is as difficult to pin down as it is to guess what kind of music a band…
Isaiah “Ikey” Owens is the mad-genius keyboard player for the Mars Volta, but before that, he played with Sublime and the Long Beach Dub Allstars. On stage, Owens looks like a supernatural agency is at work, guiding his hands and body in a frantic display of instrumental wizardry. In his…
Romano Paoletti opens Story of a Lifetime with “Ragtime Blues,” an ode to his grandfather, “Ragtime” Bob Darch, an inductee of the Ragtime Hall of Fame. It’s a measure not only of Paoletti’s dedication to family and tradition, but of the album’s commitment to live up to its title. Across…
