There’s a lot to like about this week’s flier. First off, who doesn’t love LEGO? And can we get a “hell, yeah” for the way the New Ancient Astronauts have cleverly incorporated the LEGO Space Authority’s orbiting rocket symbol into the Colorado state flag? Even the eye-bleed-inducing color scheme is…
After selling out a two-night stint at Red Rocks and a show at the Boulder Theater earlier this month, STS9 has announced its return to the area for a three-night stand at the Fillmore Auditorium, from Wednesday, December 29, to Friday, December 31. While tickets for the New Year’s run…
Throughout the late ’60s, 1601 West Evans was a prime destination for live music, with acts like the Doors, Cream, the Grateful Dead and Van Morrison performing in the space now occupied by PT’s Showclub. Four years ago, rock returned to the building when the folks at Left Nut Entertainment…
Guido and guidettes, have you heard the news? Pauly D, the super-creepin’, GTL-in’ cast member from the cultural phenomenon Jersey Shore will be beatin’ up the beat tonight at Beta. Personally, we haven’t been this excited about anything since Walgreens offered two-for-one spray tan in a can. There’s no other…
File this one under the most heartening news we’ve heard all week. Just got word of a benefit concert for the folks affected by the devastating Fourmile Canyon Fire. Presented by KBCO, the aptly dubbed Fourmile Canyon Revival features the String Cheese Incident, Big Head Todd & the Monsters, Yonder…
How cool is this week’s flier pick? To really see the awesome level of detail on this puppy, you need the ginormous file we received — scroll down to see a larger version…
Killers frontman Brandon Flowers is hitting the road this fall in support of his solo debut, Flamingo, which hits stores today on Island. He’ll be at the Ogden Theatre on Thursday, November 18. Tickets ($30) go on sale Saturday, September 18 at 10 a.m. Another frontman heading out on tour…
Club night and rave fliers tend to be…not elegant. Loud, crass, busy and clumsy are the rule of the day. Ugly, even. So it’s nice and refreshing when you see one that’s simple, clean and appealing, such as this week’s top flier pick for Jump Start, a monthly disco and…
Glitch Mob, which released its debut, Drink the Sea, this past spring, is slated to perform at the Fillmore Auditorium on Halloween night, Sunday, October 31. In August, the electronic trio also teamed up with MishkaNYC to release Drink The Sea Part 2: The Mixtape, which can be downloaded here…
Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom may have changed owners last fall, but things are clearly still kicking at the venue, and there’s still plenty of music in the streets. Last year, before changing hands Cervantes’ hosted the Dancing In the Streets, a three-day festival that took place at 26th and Welton…
This week’s flier is a testament to getting a lot of mileage out of very few elements. In the flier for Impact, a new weekly night at Milk Bar for bass-loving dance music aficionados, there’s not a lot going on. No crazy dinosaur or giant ape images to catch the…
While last week’s big announcement included Phish’s three-night stand at the 1STBANK Center, a number of other shows were recently announced, most which are on are sale now. In addition to Kottonmouth Kings, Joshua Radin, Combichrist and Soulfly, lead by former Sepultura frontman Max Cavalera, are all slated to hit…
Ah, looks like we’re finally going to get around to screening Oddsac, Animal Collective’s twisted take on cinema verite (see trailer after the jump), thanks to the lovely chaps from Analog Space and their esteemed counterparts at Research & Development, who will be treating us all to a night of…
For this week’s top flier, the legs have it. Four hypnotic, abstracted sets of them, like a mannequin-esque nightmare that erupts after a night of too much cough syrup and too many Robert Palmer videos — but in a good way. The key word here is synergy. The legs themselves…
After a supporting slot on Lupe Fiasco’s tour earlier this year, B.o.B. will be making his return to the area for a date at the Boulder Theater on Saturday, October 9, followed by a show at the Ogden Theatre on Sunday, October 10. Tickets for the Boulder show, which are…
If you ever needed an excuse to head north to Fort Collins besides the many fine breweries there, how about the Bohemian Nights at New West Fest? The free, three day festival is bringing in an eclectic batch of talent, starting with Flobots August 20. They’ll be followed by Earth,…
There are millions of ways to make music in the world — and that’s exactly what the Playground Ensemble and the Front Range Soundpainters are counting on. Seemingly hawked right out of this week’s Fringe Festival in Boulder, soundpainting is the art of live music composition incorporating hundreds of gestures…
So, turns out, Pavement may not be as popular in Denver as once suspected. While initially this notion is admittedly somewhat deflating, this is actually great news if you’re a fan of the band: We just received word that the Pavement show, originally slated to take place on Thursday, September…
Just a year after taking over the Oriental Theater, the owners of 3 Kings Tavern have thrown in the towel and put the historic, 700-person venue at 4335 West 44th Avenue up for sale. Jim Norris, one of those owners — and now also part-owner of the new Rockaway Tavern…
This was one of those occasional weeks where the second we saw this flier, we knew we had our pick. Don’t get us wrong — we still did the homework and looked at every flier we could find, online and off. And, to be honest, there were enough great fliers…
Update, 10/25/10: Read the review from this past weekend’s show at 1STBANK Center. Fresh off his appearance at this past weekend’s Mile High Music Festival, Lorin Ashton, the man behind the electronic project Bassnectar, has announced plans to produce his first-ever arena show at the 1ST BANK Center at the…
