Okay, whoever speculated that Dave Matthews Band and the Samples were going to be a part of this year’s Mile High Music Festival: Sorry we doubted you. You were right, evidently. So was the guy who said Jack Johnson, as well as the person who pointed us in the direction…
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…
Update: Lineup announced! Jack Johnson, the Dave Matthews Band, Weezer and more. Click here for full lineup. With no Rothbury this year and the 1st Bank Center renovations behind them, looks like Chuck Morris and his AEG live crew have more time to devote their full attention towards the Mile…
Just caught an interview on MTV with the 3OH!3 dudes about the new album, Streets of Gold. Evidently, Ke$ha, with whom the boys collaborated with on her chartbuster, “Blah Blah Blah,” is slated to appear on track from the new record called, “My First Kiss,” produced by Dr. Luke and…
Today’s song of the day comes from an utterly bewitching Swedish duo known as jj. Comprised of Joakim Benon and Elin Kastlander, the group is in the midst of embarking on its first ever tour of the States with xx, a kindred act with an equally google defying moniker. Bummer…
After a stint supporting Megadeth on its Endgame tour with Machinehead and Suicide Silence last fall, Arcanium has landed a slot on another high profile tour. At the end of the month, the Loveland-based metal act will join Bullet for My Valentine, Chiodos and Airbourne on the road. The twenty…
Well, can you? Look closely. No, more closely. Who do you think it could be? Which well known local music personality do you think posed for this album cover at the behest of his father, who just happened to work in the marketing department of Del Monte at the time…
Here’s what we know about Nicholi White: He’s fourteen-years-old. His birthday is January 26. He’s a middle schooler that lives in Harlem, New York. He’s a self-described entertainer, which means he performs and acts. And, most importantly, he’s just this side of AWESOME! Anyone who films himself shamelessly groovin’ to…
Do you secretly fantasize about being a video vixen like Tawny Kitaen, looking all sorts of sultry with that come hither stare of yours, while perched on the hood of a Jaguar driven by David Coverdale? Yeah? Not going to happen. Wake up, dude. It’s 2010. That was a Whitesnake…
It’s a well-established fact that chicks dig robots. And when it comes to chicks like the micro-skirted, go-go-booted stunner here, we can see how robots — even hot robots — would feel the same way. Heck, we’d put her on our flier, too. Apart from the universal appeal of attractive…
Turntablists, mark your calendars: Saturday, May 1 at the Walnut Room, DMC Denver is going down. And two of the Mile High City’s finest DJs, Vajra and Chonz, will be judging to determine who advances to the DMC finals in New York this fall. Better bring your A-game, though. Both…
It’s been three years since Radiohead blew everyone’s minds with the pay-what-you-want model of music distribution, and since then many small sites have been looking to cash in on the idea. Noisetrade is one of these, and although the site has been around for a couple of years, it has…
Tickle Me Pink, due at the Black Sheep and Marquis Theater this weekend, has put the finishing touches on its next platter, On Your Way Down. The three-song EP, produced by Matthew Hager and mixed by Jason Livermore at the Blasting Room, isn’t due out until Tuesday, May 18, but…
Nathaniel Rateliff certainly needs no introduction in Denver. Prior to being championed by Brooklyn Vegan and attracting the attention of Vanity Fair, Rateliff generated reams of praise here as the frontman of Born in the Flood, an act many predicted would fill arenas by decade’s end…
After an eleven year hiatus, Sarah McLachlan has revived the Lilith Tour (originally the Lilith Fair) that she helped found in 1996. In keeping with the original female-centric tours from 1997-99, McLachlan is bringing a number of top female artists including Kelly Clarkson, Miranda Lambert, Emmylou Harris and Ingrid Michaelson…
Our world is full of inexplicable things. Things like the appeal of Michael Bublé. Seriously, can anyone explain his appeal to us? But once you simply stop questioning and accept that yes, somehow Michael Bublé is stupidly famous and getting rich off recording crap adult contemporary pop tunes and nauseating…
Planning to catch Devendra Banhart tomorrow night at the Ogden? Boy are you going to be bummed: Evidently, broseph broke himself over the weekend trying to pull off some gnarly kick flip or ollie or something before his show in Tempe on Saturday and busted a bone in his leg…
Holy undergarments: That was one hell of a weekend. It started on Thursday with an underwear party at Tracks Nightclub (NSFW), and the Hip Chicks Out and Heaven and Hell parties. It continued Friday when Twiztid and the upstanding citizens of the ICP scene descended on the Ogden on Friday…
10th Annual Caffeine Festival 2010 03.27.10 | 1st Bank Center A lot about this year’s Caffeine spring-break blowout was a repeat from last year, from the venue (which, as previously noted on this blog, has improved its sound quality immensely) to a decent portion of the headlining lineup (Dave Aude,…
Twiztid • Potluck • Kung Fu Vampire 03.26.10 | Fillmore Auditorium Walking to The Fillmore and being accosted with, “Yo, Juggalo, can I use your phone for a minute?” should have been the first sign that the normal world was somewhere else. Opening act, Kung Fu Vampire had already performed,…
Xiu Xiu • tUne YarDs • Talk Normal 03.27.10 | hi-dive I’d never known a show at the hi-dive to start before 9, particularly on a Saturday, so I was gravely dismayed when I walked in about five till and saw Merrill Garbus tUnInG up on stage, meaning that I’d…
The Hollyfelds • Hello Kavita • Casey James Prestwood 03.27.10 | Larimer Lounge Jon Pareles, rock critic for The New York Times, went to SXSW and came back with a reality check on glo-fi, one of many micro-genres burning up the blogs. Among many good points he made was this:…
