This Weekend: The Head and The Heart, Thao & The Get Down Stay Down and Mayer Hawthorne
The Head and The Heart are must-see, live. It’s like texting versus hanging out. It’s your work screensaver versus being in the mountains. They jam energetically (think Matt & Kim) and produce melodies so intimate and relatable, you’ll swear you grew up with them. Thao & The Get Down Stay Down: anytime you can, you...
5 Minutes with The Veils: Finn Andrews on Whiskey, Diana Ross and Neon Food
Recently we caught up with The Veils frontman, Finn Andrews (The Veils are a London-based band that have lived in a classic car garage and recorded at The Flaming Lips’ studio, amongst other things).

Noteworthy: The Autumn Film Offers Free Music Until April
A few weeks ago on March 8, Churchill had an incredible hometown show at The Ogden Theatre, and they had some amazing bands open the show including Ha Ha Tonka and The Autumn Film. I hadn’t heard of The Autumn Film, but after seeing them play, I was an instant fan. So, I thought I’d...
Neighborhood Noise: Take a Trip to the South of France
Sometimes bands start out as a solo project, and they end up becoming something completely different. Add a new member, fall in love with them, and it can develop into “melodic surf indie noise” that coerces you to roll your windows down and break into dance. This is South of France. Sure, they’ve been compared...
Neighborhood Noise: Swing Hero Ready for Release Party at Hi-Dive Tomorrow
You grow up in a place and it’s only natural that you want to change the scenery. It’s a pretty essential step in growing the fuck up, which I needed to do. If you’re comfortable with your presence in the Denver music scene, you’ve probably seen Marshall Gallagher. He played guitar for Solar Bear, he...
Hindsight: Thao & The Get Down Stay Down with Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside @ Larimer Lounge
Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside brought their swingy Rockabilly act to the Larimer Lounge on Monday night, opening for Thao & The Get Down Stay Down.

Hindsight: Michael Kiwanuka and Alabama Shakes at the Ogden
Acoustic blues-folk singer Michael Kiwanuka opened for the Alabama Shakes Saturday night, at a sold out show. To say Kiwanuka is an old soul is quite the understatement. The twenty-five year old North Londonite softly played his melancholic tunes with the grace of a seasoned bluesman, with a bassist as the only accompanist. The quiet,...
Neighborhood Noise: Joshua Novak Set to Charm Walnut Room Thursday
One of my favorite parts about getting to interview local musicians face-to-face is getting to see how passionate they are about their craft. It’s one thing to watch someone perform, but to learn how they got to that point in their life isn’t only exciting to watch – it’s a story that I love getting...

It’s totally a relationship. It’s more serious than any relationship you’ll ever have for the rest of your life. What does it take to keep a good band together? According to Denver’s My Body Sings Electric, it takes persistence, a collaborative writing process, and something we can all agree on – happy hour. On a...
Hindsight: Ivan & Alyosha at The Hi-Dive
Seattle folk-rock band Ivan & Alyosha played to a packed house Wednesday night, at the Hi-Dive in Denver. Lead singer Tim Wilson carried the band’s folk-pop tunes with his rich, melodious voice.
