The biggest news of the week in Denver music was obviously the Fray being the biggest selling band in the country. But aside from that, there was a ton of other news, like word of SleeperHorse parting ways, Gregory Alan Isakov touring with Brandi Carlile, Single File being featured on Spin.com, the Knew landing a track on Breaking Bad, Pictureplane linking up with Lovepump United and touring with HEALTH, Fort Collins launching their own local music festival, Young Coyotes releasing a pair of EPs, DJ Bedz and Quote holding things down at the NBA All-Star game down in Phoenix and a whole bunch more. After the jump we’ve posted a handy link guide so you can reflect on the week or catch up on anything you might have missed. Happy Valentine’s day. In the immortal words of Kojak, who loves you, baby? We do. Have a weekend!
