The space at 940 Lincoln Street that had been Zen, and was known as Hunks for a few days last month, has now changed its name to Chique. And it’s not just the name that has changed. According to owner Bonnie King, the club’s concept has changed, as well. For…
Seraphim Shock hasn’t gigged all that much over the past few years it seems, so word of a pair of benefit shows the act is doing at Paris Wine Bar (1553 Platte Street) should excite longtime fans. On Thursday and Friday, June 10 and 11, the group is set to…
If you’re going to advertise a disco night, what better image to choose than the all-powerful disco ball? None better. Even as disco’s influence across the land waned, the glittery allure of the disco ball never faltered. Everyone loves a disco ball. And we love this flier. Not just for…
We’d be lying to you if we said Kilgore Books and Comics (624 E. 13th Ave.) wasn’t one of our favorite shops in town. It’s a bastion of great reading materials, great people and some totally rad comic books. This Saturday, in celebration of the store’s two-year anniversary and the…

While we usually get word of mega shows months in advance, that’s not the case with Paul McCartney, who just added a July 15 stop at the Pepsi Center to his upcoming 2010 Tour. McCartney, who made his Colorado debut with the Beatles at Red Rocks in 1964, last played…
This week’s flier proves that a great flier can be fashioned from very few elements. Just have a look at this Air Dubai flier. What do we have? a stark, stenciled image. Some type. A textured background. That’s it. And it totally works. It all starts with the wise, if…
Although the National has been at for a decade, the Brookyn-based indie rock group started gaining some serious traction with the release of 2007’s Boxer. The act’s latest effort, High Violet , debuted in the top five slots around the world, so it’s no surprise that the band, who has…
Update: This morning, the Denver Film Society announced the full lineup for this year’s Film on the Rocks. See which acts are slated to perform after the jump. The Film on the Rocks 2010 schedule has been announced. Looks like the Denver Film Society is kicking things off with a…
Arvada, beware! There’s a big-ass, crocodilian kaiju coming for you. Your skyscrapers, supposing you have any, are in serious danger. And don’t let your guard down just because it says those claws are candy. Ahem. We were quite taken with this flier. We’re not sure if the awesome illustration is…
After more than a three-year run, Andrew’s on Lincoln’s appears to have closed over the weekend. There’s no word yet on why the club closed or what will happen to the space. Last September, the space was remodeled, and it was essentially divided it into two spaces: one side a…

Do you know way too much about who slept with whom in Fleetwood Mac? Do you long for others to witness your disturbingly thorough knowledge of 80s hair-metal drum solos? Do you know jack shit about music but sort of feel like getting hammered in the presence of a bunch…

Fifteen years ago, the sexually charged acid house group Lords of Acid and the legendary industrial act My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult teamed up for the Sextacy Ball tour. The two acts are joining forces again this summer for a reincarnation of that tour which hits the Ogden…
In possibly one of the strangest bills yet, we’ve just learned that KISS is slated to kick off this year’s Cheyenne Frontier Days and rodeo on Friday, July 23. The other acts on the bill, we think you’ll agree, are slightly less incongruous: Brooks & Dunn, Aaron Tippin & Neal…
