Vitamins (playing tonight at the Larimer Lounge Gauntlet Hair, Woodsman and Hearts In Space) is seemingly unstoppable -- The Denver-by-way-of Fort Collins band has been on a roll with new releases and stunning accompanying videos (like the just-released "Vimanas" below), plus, the quartet had the opportunity to the stage with Flaming Lips, all in the last year.

But the group's well-polished instrumentation and dense psychedelia is hardly a new phenomenon, as Vitamins has been actively playing out and making records since 2005. Tonight is a special event, not only because the group is sharing the stage with three other stellar local acts, but because Vitamins is celebrating the kick-off of its summer West Coast tour. This show is twenty-one and up, and tickets are $10. Doors open at 8 p.m., and the bands start at 9 p.m.
