Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.

Vonnegut, nominated in the Modern Rock category of this year's Music Showcase, is down a bassist. Brian Farnsworth, who previously held down the low-end for the act, is vacating his post and heading for the Windy City, for personal and professional reasons, as he puts it in a post on the DMB. Prospective players are encouraged to reach out to frontman Ryan Gombeski. No word on when Farnsworth will play his last gig, but there's a fairly significant gap in the band's itenerary between May 30, in which the band is due at the Bluebird Theater, and a June 20 date in Laramie, Wyoming, so the smart money is on the former being his swang song.

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.
