Oh, man, the moment you’ve been waiting for all of your young life has finally arrived. What? Uh, no, Match.com hasn’t yet. Found a match for you, that is. Hang in there, though. There’s someone for everyone, we hear. In the meantime, here’s the next best thing: We just learned…
Oh, man, bummer news coming from the Candy Claws camp today. The outfit, in the midst of an East Coast tour, lost all of its gear yesterday, along with their merch and a good deal of personal effects in car fire somewhere on I-76 in Pennsylvania. No word yet as…
Back in college, perhaps you found yourself loading up Kazaa and Limewire after a drunken night of revelry, trying desperately to find a copy of “Man! I Feel Like a Woman,” before passing out at your desk, not realizing you were sharing an entire library of music the whole time…
Well, alright! Hows about that? Pitchfork has its sights set on Colorado again this morning. Specifically: Woodsman garnered a 7.7 rating from the site for its new Mystery Tape EP. Aside from being a bit stereotypical from a geographical standpoint (“The instrumental psych-leaning quartet Woodsman hail from Denver, an urban…
There’s nothing like experiencing the sweat, thump and catharsis of a great show. But it can be tough to decide which one to go to when you live in Denver, the land of embarrassing musical riches, the land of too many shows and too little time. So which ones are…
On Fire. That’s the headline of the latest issue of Fly magazine touting homegrown hip-hop. As you can see from the esteemed cats assembled on the dual covers (Rockie, Adam Duncan and Whygee on one, and Gamer Life and Black Pegasus on the other — see that one after the…
Superstar DJ Keoki, who’s done his share of gigs in Denver, recently moved back from Los Angeles to Golden. With some help from his business partner John Bogard, he just opened Club Exile at 753 Santa Fe Drive. The space has been renovated, but as of right now, just the…
Alright so when most out-of-town entities produce a tip sheet for a given locale, they generally blow it, pointing folks to places that either everybody goes to or places that no one actual goes to. That is, of course, unless they’re smart enough to tap someone to help them curate…
We heard this pair of deadly MCs were collaborating this week somewhere in South Florida, and now we have visual confirmation: King F.O.E. and SP Double are indeed putting in work at the studio. Watch the pair put it down live and chop it up with the cats right now…
The next George&Caplin disc, Scenic Byways and Secluded Malls/Requiem for an Encyclopedia, has an official release date — on August 13 you’ll get to hear the “bootgazing vaquero manifesto” inspired double album. One disc is traditional songs, the second, a series of infinitely repeatable loops you can play in any…
It’s a good thing 3OH!3 has inspired the rabid support of the fans (Streets of Gold debuted in the top ten of Billboard 200 and “My First Kiss,” the inescapable ditty featuring Kesha, looks to be headed toward platinum status), because thus far, the Boulder ballers are encountering growing disdain…
When we spoke with Wilco guitarist Nels Cline a few weeks ago for a profile that previewed his gig at Dazzle, we mainly talked about the Nels Cline Singers’ latest effort, Initiate. But right before concluding our chat, we asked Cline about Wilco working on new material. He told us…
I wanted it for a long time, and my friend Sheena did it at a benefit for the Underground Carrot at the Mercury Cafe,” says Brittany Gould of the envelope-shaped tattoo on her hand. “It was mainly so I can remember to send letters and packages.” Performing under the name…
When Soda Jerk Presents took over the former Bash at 1902 Blake Street, the concert promotion company changed the name to Summit Music Hall and turned the front section into a space where local acts have been playing since May 1. Now Soda Jerk is ready to debut Summit’s main…
It’s too bad the term “women in music” came to be synonymous with relatively safe mainstream artists of the ’90s. Or, more to the point, that it’s even necessary to point out the presence of women in music. Fortunately, the Vixens Ball (Friday, July 9, and Saturday, July 10, at…
It’s a success story fifteen-year-olds dream of: A big-shot producer randomly clicks on your YouTube demo, and — boom — you’re whisked off to Atlanta to record with Usher. While Justin Bieber’s pairing with R&B moguls might be a little strange — seriously, it’s weird to hear his prepubescent boys’ choir…
Rhode Island’s Prayers for Atheists is a band with incendiary political convictions, the kind that can land dudes in jail. At the 2008 Republican National Convention, vocalist Jared Paul was arbitrarily arrested while covering the convention for quarterly publication The Agenda, and he and the rest of his bandmates have…
KRS-One (aka Lawrence Parker) was the sole constant member of Boogie Down Productions, whose 1987 album, Criminal Minded, is often cited as the record that introduced gangsta rap to an unsuspecting world. But BDP’s raps were always as literate as they were gritty, and the act quickly evolved beyond its…
A road warrior who has crisscrossed continents in his quest for true troubadour-hood, Austin Lucas is the rare songwriter who seems buoyed by the road rather than beaten down by it. His intricately picked yet propulsive folk is as accomplished as it is effortless, and Lucas’s rough edges — honed…
Somewhere in Denver there’s a backyard barbecue pit full of steak drippings, cigarette butts, smashed beer bottles and a couple decades’ worth of kerosene-soaked charcoal. From those rancid, grimy ashes rose Heeler. The band’s second CD, Release the Snake!, is a meaty slab of rock and roll that tastes as…
“Yeti in the City,” this album’s opener, sounds like its authors have been listening to a lot of dubstep, experimental electronic music and underground hip-hop while scoring a really weird episode of Monk. The production might be a bit slick for some, but there’s nothing wrong with technological competence, and…
