Seventy of Denver’s best hometown bands will play the Westword Music Showcase along with national acts Shakey Graves, the Revivalists, Cut Copy, Bob Moses, COIN and A R I Z O N A, on Saturday, June 24. We reached out to the local outfits to learn more about their music and their relationship to Denver.

Allout Helter: Fast and loud.

How has Denver influenced your sound?

What could Denver do to better support musicians?

Will you stay in Denver or will you leave? Why?

We hope to play more outside of Denver, but we’ll always reside here, because this is where we live.
