We’ve received word that Absolutely Huge Entertainment has signed an agreement to take over the Oriental Theater, which became available in August. Headed up by Anna Muniz, who has over twenty years of experience in the bar and entertainment industry, the group also includes Joe Hendricks, who ran the Fallen…
Some of our most loved fliers are hardly decipherable messes of wacky design, so it’s nice to see something readable and simple sometimes. Simplicity was once a staple among concert posters because they needed to convey two simple facts: who was playing and where. Thankfully, this artist showcase manages to…
Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds, who have released three live albums together, visit the 1STBANK Center on Thursday, December 9, to play stripped down version of Dave Matthews Band classics. Tickets ($85-$95) go on sale Saturday, October 16 at noon. In support of The Grand Theatre Volume One, which hits…
The old “cut up magazines and make it look like a ransom note” approach is so old school, it may have existed before there was a school. But it’s fallen so far out of favor that when it’s occasionally revived, it’s hardly fair to call it cliche. Throwback maybe –…
After selling out three nights at Red Rocks, Widespread Panic returns to the Pepsi Center for a two-night New Year’s Eve run on Thursday, December 30, and Friday, December 31. Tickets are $61 and go on sale this Saturday, October 9, at noon and are available through TicketHorse. Speaking of…
Grammy nominations? Platinum status? Selling out Red Rocks? It’s difficult to imagine any single event surpassing those sorts of mile markers in your career. Unless, of course, said event involves warming up for U2. In your hometown. Now that’s beyond difficult. That’s inconceivable. But that’s exactly what the Fray will…
After searching for the last year or so for a place to open a rockabilly-themed bar, Jimmy Nigg and his brother just took over the former Cucina Roma Roma spot at 12363 West 64th Avenue in Arvada and hope to re-open it as Rockabillies early next year. While the bar…
We like things that look like other things, especially when the other things that things look like remind us of warm-and-fuzzy moments from days gone by. Like, say, a flier that recalled the halcyon days of audio cassettes, in all of their lo-fi, wow-and-flutter glory. That nostalgic feeling for our…
Master bluesman B.B. King, who seems to visit these parts a couple times a year, returns to the Boulder Theater on Saturday, January 22. Tickets ($77.50 general admission, $96.50 reserved, $124.50 gold circle) go on sale this Saturday, October 2, at 10 a.m. , When DJ Shadow hits the Ogden…
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…
