Just received word from Josh Baker, co-curator of Monolith, that the future of the indie-centric festival is uncertain. (Read Baker’s full statement after the jump.) Although the turnout for this year’s festival seemed to increase slightly from year’s past and the lineup itself seemed more solid than ever, with headliners…

Shush man/Take the hit/Do the Barney Frank and talk with your spit…While we’re not privy to the political leanings of the 3OH!3 guys and although their tongues are generally so deep in their cheeks that it’s left a permanent protrusion, we’re pretty sure that this parody version of their ubiquitous…

The latest remix/mash-up from Animals at Risk — the remix crew made up of Matt Fecher/DJ Hot to Death with Yonnas from the Pirate Signal — is alive. The new track, “Intergalactic Fathers,” takes the Beastie Boys classic “Intergalactic,” chops up lots of little bits from Ideal Fathers “The Tendrils…

Houses, The Knew, Action Packed Thrill Ride Saturday, November 14, 2009 Larimer Lounge Better Than: The fireside. It was snowing on Saturday, seriously snowing, hard enough to cover the signs and turn the city into a giant, hushed bobsled track. You would not have known this, though, if you were…

It was just a couple of days ago we were opining about how the future of Pretty Lights was looking brighter and brighter. Now, as if to add credence to our keen observations, Billboard.biz (the online version of Billboard) has gone and featured the outfit as part of an article…
