Holy hip-hop nirvana! Why can’t it be SIA week all year around? This week is straight bananas. So get this, as if there weren’t already too many crazy good shows to choose from, here’s one more: Tomorrow night at Casselman’s, we’re hearing that the one and only Raekwon is set…
Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All has announced its upcoming North American tour dates. The act is returning to the scene of the crime, as it were, on Sunday, March 11, to the Fox Theatre in Boulder, which as you might remember, was the first place the act played…
Is it just us, or does November seem like a lifetime ago? Okay, maybe it’s just us. Anyhow, remember way back in November when we told you how the Overcasters had wrapped up the new album, Curses//Prayers, and set a release date for the second annual Gathering of the Clouds?…
Gotye. Name ring a bell? Surely you’ve heard the tune “Somebody I Used to Know,” or at least seen the video. The clip is all sorts of artsy, with the Aussie-by-way-of-Belgium singer and Kimbra, his collaborator, chilling in their birthday suits and then painted in time-lapse to blend in seamlessly…
Last month, Kris Sieger told us that future of Rockaway Tavern was up in the air, and that he was looking for potential investors and might even be up for selling the place. Looks like Sieger, who opened the bar in July 2010 with former 15th Street Tavern owner Myke…
Since the guys in Bad Weather California each have busy lives and work at different times, it’s hard enough for them to find time to get together for an hour to practice, let alone make a music video. That said, making grandiose videos was just out of the picture for…
You read that right. You can see Blackalicious at the Fillmore this Friday, January 27, for just $10 (well, plus the applicable service fees). Tickets are on-sale right now at LiveNation.com or you can pick them up directly at the Fillmore box office. Oh, we should also let you know…
Bad news: Familiar with that expression, “You snooze, you lose”? Yes? Well, it applies here. If you slept on getting your tickets to see the Black Keys at 1STBANK Center on April 30, you blew it. Show’s sold out. D’oh! Luckily for you, though, you’ll have another chance to see…
Grab your party shoes, kids. Andrew W.K. is coming back to Denver. In honor of the ten year anniversary of I Get Wet (hands up if you can believe it’s already been a decade since dude first hit the scene), Mr. Party Hard is bringing his party to the Bluebird…

Ah, yes, girls, we love them. Who doesn’t, right? Mötley Crüe wrote an entire song about them. Actually, so did Jay-Z, come to think of it. But we digress. Where were we again? Oh, right, girls, we love them. So you can only imagine the overwhelming sense of joy we…

By early June, Denver will long be in the rearview for the Black Keys dudes, who’ll play here on Monday, April 30. Too bad. It would’ve been sweet-ass sweet to witness a good old-fashioned battle royale for ultimate supremacy between them and the Nickelback dudes to settle this whole “rock…
Well, this should be nothing short of amazing: If you haven’t heard, on Saturday, March 24, Wovenhand, led by the masterful David Eugene Edwards, is sharing a bill with Michael Gira at the Oriental Theater. Every time the former 16 Horsepower frontman plays, it’s a completely noteworthy occasion, but with…
While earlier rumors of DJ Z-Trip being in town at the end of January proved to be just that, it turns out that he will be in town this month after all — just not at Red Rocks. Instead, he’ll be performing at City Hall for the final night of…
Here’s what’s hot this week in music on the Front Range: On the concert front, shows from Van Halen, the Black Keys and Snow Patrol were announced; ManCub, Fingers of the Sun, Places and J.Carey got spins on local radio; and new releases from the Black Keys and Young Jeezy…
Music Bar, a Denver landmark of sorts that opened in 1937, has closed. Jeffery Laws, of Universal Lending Corporation, says the owner of the bar for the past nine years didn’t renew the lease. Renowned for its karaoke nights, which earned a Best of Denver nod last year, Music Bar…
We’ve just received word that the Black Keys, on the heels of their highly enjoyable new record, El Camino (we seriously can’t pry it from our playlist), are coming to the 1STBANK Center on Monday, April 30, with the Arctic Monkeys. Tickets ($55.00-$59.50, plus service fees) for the show, which…
