Just when you thought it was safe to lock in your summer plans, the just announced Newhoma Camping and Music Festival might make you pull your calendar back out and reach for your red Sharpie. Georgia jam rockers Outformation, avante garde NYC jazz cats Sex Mob and local jam rock…
The Denver Art Rock Collective is embracing their art rock forebears in early June at D.A.R.C Side of the Moon, a tribute to the music of Pink Floyd. To pull it off, they’re making the “Collective” element of their name a reality, performing as in various configurations featuring a rotating…
The epic dance music festival Electric Daisy Carnival will see its third year in Colorado on June 12. As big as the past two years have been, it looks like this year could be the biggest yet, pulling in top talent from the house, trance and dubstep genres, including Benny…
The browns, beiges and orange-reds of this week’s top flier put us more in mind of autumn than late spring. But looking out the window at the gray sky and scrim of snow sticking to things puts us more in mind of autumn too, so it’s strangely fitting. Perhaps Sun…
The just-announced Black Crowes show the Fillmore on Sunday, August 29 might be the last chance to see them in the area for a while. The group is planning on taking an indefinite hiatus after its “Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys 2010 Tour,” which kicks off in August and…

Great fliers don’t have to always involve meticulous design work, professional illustration and cutting-edge aesthetics. Sometimes, a little, earnest sketch is all it takes. As in today’s flier, which gives us a little sunshine, a little weirdness and a good vibe for a show at the Glob. Who among us…
As part of The Wall’s thirtieth anniversary, Roger Waters is bringing the Pink Floyd rock opera in all its epic glory to the Pepsi Center on Tuesday, November 23 with a new band and a newly-mounted state-of-the-art production. Waters has performed The Wall, which is still among the Top 5…
Below Bar is re-opening tonight as a gay bar with Rockstar Aaron at the decks. Bill Ward has revamped his two-year-old, subterranean spot at 1422 Larimer Street — from changing out some furniture to adding a lot of mirrors — and turned it into a gay bar at the request…
This week’s flier of the week is not one flier but three fliers, one for each of the members of Lion Sized. This first randomly selected (we’re not aware of any particular order) flier effectively sets the tone for the rest of what you’re getting — a splattery, exploded portrait…
Noise lovers, rejoice! This weekend, Old Curtis Street (2100 Curtis Street) will be transformed into a celebration of all things noisy, experimental, grating and possibly hearing-damaging, courtesy of Denver Noise Fest (look for an interview with the festival’s curators Todd Novosad and John Gross in this week’s paper). Almost forty…
This year’s Red Rocks line-up has been filling in rather nicely, and there’s been a few more additions this week, including a second Sting date that’s been added, Blues Traveler’s annual Fourth of July show, the Barenaked Ladies, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Reggae on the Rocks, Celtic Woman and Tom…
Minimalism, abstraction and a clever design combine perfectly in this week’s top flier. There’s not a lot going on here, but what little there is goes a long way. The cascading boxes are the key to the whole thing. If you were to scrub the text off this, leaving just…
Another half dozen new shows were added to the Red Rocks schedule, including John Mayer, Paramore, STS9, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Pretty Lights and Widespread Panic, who will be at the venue from Friday, June 25 through Sunday, June 27, a month after its eleventh studio album, Dirty Side Down, hits…
So this is pretty rad: Evidently, if you act quickly, you can score yourself tickets to see Jónsi of Sigur Ros at the Paramount Theatre on Wednesday for just $7. There’s no catch, near as we can tell. You just have to sign up, and then you’re provided with a…
The crew from Mile High Sci Fi – the off-the-wall movie-watching comedy show — has never been shy about beer: “We sell it right there in the theater,” says member Matt Vogl. “Sometimes we even have a red wagon that we pull up the aisle, vendor-style.” And on Saturday, they’ll…
Our top flier this week is the work of the folks at Bocumast, the record label/design house that’s home to Astrophagus, Cougar Legs, Iuengliss and many other fine acts. Its intriguing use of color and collage caught our eye right away, but there are several other subtle things going on…
As this summer’s Red Rocks schedule begins to fill in, a few more were added this week, including Rush, who will be performing its epic 1981 album Moving Pictures in its entirety for the first time ever on the Time Machine Tour, which kicks off in June. The band, who…
When Paul Piciocchi said he was closing Tryst at 1512 Larimer last week and moving the club down to Playa Del Carmen, he said the former space would soon become a new watering hole. After less than a week of remodeling, Dive on 15th is slated to open this weekend…
When Soda Jerk Presents started booking punk and hardcore shows in 1997, its main venues were Club 156 on the CU-Boulder campus and Tulagi’s. Since then, company, headed up by owner Mike Barsch went on to book shows at the Raven and Rock Island, before buying The Cat, and for…
Snake Rattle Rattle Snake’s debut headlining performance at the Bluebird is a momentous occasion, so it’s no surprise that the poster promoting it is suitably momentous as well. The flier definitely turned our head when we walked by it the other day, prompting us to head straight the computer to…
Only in Colorado: Tonight’s sold-out Muse and Silversun Pickups show, originally scheduled at the 1stBank Center, has been postponed due to snow on Vail Pass. But there’s good news for anyone who didn’t get tickets to the show; when the band returns the area October 2, it will play at…
