Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
For us, and for thousands who joined us, the weekend was dominated by the Mile High Music Fest -- two days of sun-drenched music, booze, vibing and dancing, of friendships struck with both the music and fellow fan, of shit-kicking drummers and dreamy frontmen and women. Experience it all on the Backbeat blog and the slideshow page, where you'll find hundreds of photos and reviews of the shows.
Meanwhile, we'll be getting ready for Monolith.
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. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. 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. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
