Ginger Perry says she started her new night, This Good Old Country, which debuted last week at Interstate Kitchen & Bar (901 West 10th Avenue), to remember where she came from. Her Kansas-based grandparents on her mom’s side still do everything that’s country, from auctions to horse racing to cattle…

A few weeks ago, we mentioned that the Autumn Film is nearly finished with its new album, The Ship and the Sea, which is slated for release at the Walnut Room on Friday, March 5. We just got to hear one of the tracks, and if that tune is any…

Lil Wayne was supposed to be sentenced and head to prison today for a 2007 gun-possesion arrest. But the man needs surgery to repair a cracked tooth, which we suppose is a common problem among people with a mouth full of diamonds. We’re sure this a completely legitimate delay, and…

There was something funny going on in the Super Bowl commercials this year, and it wasn’t those stupid Bud Light ads. Nope, this one wasn’t supposed to be funny at all. It was supposed to inspire you to join the Air Force Reserves, but instead it had us thinking about…

In video games, we’re used to running, jumping, collecting and shooting (especially shooting). What we don’t see a lot of is record scratching. And what we see even less of is record scratching to solve puzzles, like those little ball-in-maze puzzles or, uh, safe-cracking. Until now, that is. We discovered…

Intriguing word out of the George & Caplin camp: Secluded Malls & Scenic Byways, the outfit’s next release, will reportedly be issued as a two-CD set. Any G&C release is cause for excitement, but this one especially so. As we understand it, the second disc is going to comprise a…

On Friday night, P.O.S. played a sold-out show at the Marquis with Grieves with Budo, Dessa (of Doomtree) and The Pirate Signal, and then on Saturday night, Drag the River played with Cheap Girls at 3 Kings Tavern. Our boy Aaron Thackeray was there and took a grip of snaps…

Tjutjuna, Orbiteer, Woodsman and Fissure Mystic Friday, February 5, 2010 Meadowlark Jeff Suthers opened this show with the debut of his solo project, Orbiteer. Streaming layers of hazy guitar overlayed sketches of faintly discernible melodies in the distance. Whorls of shimmering, controlled feedback were manipulated into broad vistas of panoramic…

Still looking for a rooting interest and/or drinking game for Sunday’s national holiday? We combed through the roster and coaching staffs of the Colts and Saints to find Colorado connections. Because you should always root for Colorado, regardless of the circumstances. Including when two teams from Indiana and Louisiana play…

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…

We predict that Matt Morris is going to provoke one of two reactions from folks as he navigates his way through the shark infested waters of the music industry: They’re either going to find his wide eyed wonderment completely endearing and want to pinch his cheeks incessantly like somebody’s grandma,…

UPDATE: 3OH!3 just announced that it’s upcoming Too Fast For Love tour with Cobra Starship, Travis McCoy (Gym Class Heroes) and I Fight Dragons, which reportedly stops by the Fillmore on May 21, goes on sale on next Saturday, February 13. Follow the jump to see the dudes chatting about…

Update: Randall Frazier has blessed us with a pair of brand new Orbit Service tracks from the new album, A Soft Note from the West, which you can stream after the jump. Evidently, David Gates was right when he sang the words, “Goodbye doesn’t mean forever.” You may have seen…

So, here’s some good news for fans of adventurous music in the Mile High City: the long-quiet post-punk/dance/experimental band Constellations have announced they’ll be returning from limbo in 2010. This has got us pretty damn excited — before disappearing a few years ago, we considered Constellations to be one of…

Don’t know if ArtistDirect.com has the same sort of cache these days as its UBL.com predecessor, which was essentially the go to site for band listings during the ’90s, a much relied upon resource much like AllMusic.com is today, but the prime exposure it’s giving to the Swayback right now…

More breaking news from the AEG Live camp. The Denver Post is reporting that Odeum Colorado, the venue formerly known as the Broomfield Event Center, will be renamed again this March, just in time for the venue’s grand opening. Those who bristle at the mere notion of corporate branding will…

We’ve all seen the fierce images of the hungry lion chomping down on the harmless gazelle on the Discovery Channel. Although your emotions may cause you to cringe at the helpless animal being attacked, your instincts tell you something different: The kill is just a necessary part of the circle…

The burbling expansiveness at the heart of this band’s soundscaping probably gives the impression that the music is all whimsical playfulness and wandering noise-collage melodies. With Ryan McRyhew of BDRMPPL as one of the minds behind the project, it could be enjoyed for the beauty of the songs, but with…

The music of Congorock sounds like the bastard child of hard house and a coked-up, hard-partying Nintendo Game Boy. The Italian DJ/producer is quickly garnering a reputation for party-starting tracks and mixes that cross all boundaries and take no prisoners. Take his debut release, “Runark,” for example: It kicks off…
