Andrew’s on Lincoln goes dark over the weekend

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…

Insane Clown Posse show moved to Fillmore

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…

KISS kicks off Cheyenne Frontier Days, skips over Denver

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…

Beat-loggers index samples so we don’t have to

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 brings their comic book to life at Rhino

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…

Cobra, Caregivers Cup and Cuervo: The weekend in photos

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…

The secret, Illuminated life of Lady Gaga

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 gives the Bluebird something to talk about

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…

Corpsetimer at the Larimer Lounge

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…

Landon Pigg

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

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)…

Nice Nice

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…

Free Moral Agents

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

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…
