It just keeps growing: Last year, the annual Global Dance Festival expanded from one rave-tastic night at Red Rocks to two — and the Triad Dragons have just announced a third GDF night at the premier outdoor concert venue in the country. Headlining will be Australia’s Empire of the Sun,…
While there are a number of street festivals happening this summer, the first Englewood Eats & Beats might push the envelope a bit when it happens Saturday, June 25. Gothic Theatre owner Steve Schalk, who is also one of the event’s organizers, says that it will have bigger stage than…
Brian Hoffman and Cause Medic Ink have given us two amazing fliers this week, one for the Sin Desires Marie reunion show and another for the Snake Rattle Rattle Snake show on Tuesday, April 12, but the Sin Desires Marie one trumps the SRRS one just barely, mostly because it…
Pink Martini’s show originally scheduled for Wednesday, April 6, has been pushed back to Saturday, June 4 due to singer China Forbes straining her voice. According to a release by the band, “medical voice specialists have advised her that to avoid permanent damage, she must not sing or even speak…
If you made your way to the Bluebird last night, you’re already know about this. If not, here’s some news you can use: The Wanda Jackson show that was slated to take place last night was postponed until this evening due to crappy weather in the mountains. If you had…
For a flier to get a nod in this space, it’s either about technique or execution. This week, it’s a little of both. The flier — touting Paper Bird’s show this Saturday with Princess Music and A.Tom Collins at the Gothic Theatre — is so damn adorable, it captured our…
Colorado has never been short on novelty shows. We’ve had beach parties, fort-building parties, high-concept art-installation shows — you name it, we’ve probably tried it at least once. That said, we’re pretty certain that Sk8Bit, slated to take place on Saturday, June 18, at Rollerland in Fort Collins, is Colorado’s…
Updated: More photos of the 1Up have been added to the end of this post. About a year ago, Jourdan Adler started a quest to collect vintage games. Now he’s got close to thirty original uprights, from Galaga to Pacman to Donkey Kong, and they’re all from 1985 and earlier,…

This week was possibly one of the most difficult weeks we’ve ever had choosing a flier of the week. There were a few really noteworthy, awesome fliers out there, but it was this Hot Congress Label Night one that really left a lasting impression…
Here’s what’s good in the Mile High City this week. On the concert front: The Fox Theatre and Boulder Theater are hosting the first annual Boulder Blues and Roots Summit. Bad Brains is coming to the Summit Music Hall in August and Blues Traveler is coming back to Red Rocks…
Cafe Europa’s general manager, Adam Azeris, is bringing a little piece of Brooklyn right here into Denver. The coffee shop at Penn and Bayaud has been respectfully dubbed “Wu-Ropa,” in honor of one of the most legendary rap groups of all time…
Oh dear Lord, brace yourselves: Charlie Sheen is bringing his winning ways to Denver. His Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not An Option tour — or as we like to call it, his “Holy Shit! I Really Fucked Myself there But Good, Didn’t I? Better Come Up with a Cheap…
Psst! We just heard from a little birdy that So What! is having a reunion. What is SoWhat!, you ask? Only one of the most popular, longest-running, progressive, influential nights in town. Not to mention resilient. Let’s talk about resiliency. Think the Solution has thrived despite enduring its share of…
You know what was awesome about 1985? It marked the first year we ever saw a Garbage Pail Kids trading card, which helped spawn an era of disgusting children’s toys. From Madballs to Ren and Stimpy, kids in the ’80s and ’90s had plenty of gross stuff to choose from…
Casselman’s Bar & Venue, a live-music venue in the Ballpark neighborhood that’s been open almost two years, is slated to reopen tomorrow, Wednesday, March 16, after getting slapped with a suspension notice for violating the Colorado liquor code. The spot, which has been closed since Saturday, will reopen just in…
Okay, so we know it’s not next Wednesday yet and we’ve already picked a flier of the week for this week. Regardless, we just peeped the flier for Pure Sunshine, the Rick Kulwicki benefit coming up two weekends from now at the Bluebird, and we though it was so rad,…
Noise shows seem to happen in spurts in Denver. One weekend there will be seventeen different shows going on and then there won’t any for a month and half. Thankfully, Backwards Records has decided to resurrect the monthly series first started by Jonathan Canady and Matt Jones in 1997. Night…
Purple: Perhaps the least popular color in the Crayola box next to taupe and coral. Save for fans of Prince, the Minnesota Vikings, the Fluid and Grimace, it’s not exactly the most enticing color in the world. Amazingly, however, the Uncertain Sea has combined purple with a sort of sea…
Psst. What do you have planned for Saturday, April 23? Too far ahead? We know what we’re doing. We just circled that date on our calendar in bright-red ink. From what we hear, that’s the day the lovely and talented Ms. Lauryn Hill will finally make her way back to…
