Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Ask and ye shall receive: We have it on good word that the Warlock Pinchers are planning a full scale reunion later this year, perhaps this summer, at one of the theaters around town. We've also heard that - are you ready for this?! - Dale Crover from the Melvins will reportedly be banging the skins for the Official Sound of Satan. Yowza!
Lion tamer: Received word over the weekend that the Lions Lair, a Denver institution if there ever was one, is looking for a new talent buyer for the storied dive to book local and national acts. Interested? Think you have great sensibilities in terms of what bands would make sense at the Lair? Send a resume to Tony Meggitt at 2022 E. Colfax Denver Co. 80206 or reach out via e-mail.
Pleased to Meese me: Finally, as mentioned yesterday in the item about Meese separating from Atlantic Records, that outfit along with fellow locals Kill Paradise, whose latest, The Second Effect, is out on BreakSilence Recordings, received a nod on Alternative Press magazine's 100 Bands You Need to Know list. Good to see some locals getting love. Last year, as you may recall, 3OH!3 made the list.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
