Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Denver has officially entered the season of too many concerts to choose from, and last weekend was no exception, with music events ranging from classic rock at Red Rocks to celebrating our city's next generation of musicians at Youth on Record's Block Party. Westword photographers were there to capture many of these shows, and links to the full slideshows are below.
On Friday, May 13, Denver alternative pop-rock band 888 played a homecoming headlining slot at the Bluebird Theater before heading over to spin records at an after-party at Illegal Pete's new location on East Colfax...
On Saturday, May 14, Red Rocks hosted the Global Dub Festival featuring Datsik and other bass music artists.
Over at the Bluebird on Saturday night, duo Blaqk Audio — featuring two members of the band AFI — brought their brand of electronica.
Classic-rock legends Bad Company and Joe Walsh teamed up for their "One Hell of a Night" tour stop at Red Rocks.
Also on Sunday, over at Youth on Record, the nonprofit youth-oriented arts organization celebrated its continued growth with its second annual block party and the release of its first album, Y.O.R. Sessions Volume 1, which features national artists who recorded songs in the Youth on Record studio.
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.

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.
