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. Fittingly named for Fyodor Dostoevsky’sThe Brothers Karamazov, Ivan & Alyosha’s quasi-religious tones came through in their joyful boot-stomping, hand-clapping jams. The band is currently promoting...
Neighborhood Noise: 10 Minutes With Holly Lovell
It seems that female singer-songwriters in Denver are either hidden or non-existent. There have been some great lady vocalists in the past, like Katie Herzig, who’s moved on to Nashville, or Jessica Sonner, who’s since been busy managing Denver band Churchill. But where are Denver’s leading ladies? Enter Holly Lovell. The 20-year-old charismatic songbird has...
Neighborhood Noise: The Photo Atlas Set to Release Album and Video
No reservation needed at a Photo Atlas concert. You can be as wild as you want to be. Like good wine, some bands just get better and better with time. Take The Photo Atlas, for example. Alan, Bill, and Mark started out as Atlas in 2004, but after a name change and the addition of...
Neighborhood Noise: Dirty Few Releases Cassette Worth Buying Cassette Player For
We’re going to destroy 2013. Every once in a while I come across a song that I just can’t get out of my head. Sometimes it’s a bad thing, like when “Call Me Maybe” came out and everyone (including the most badass of guys) was singing it, but sometimes it’s a great thing, like when...
Hindsight: The Walkmen @ The Ogden
Father John Misty nearly upstaged the headliner last Monday at the Ogden Theatre. Known for his eccentricity, Joshua Tillman’s (lead for FJM) swiveling hips and eclectic performance provided for a charming interaction between the crowd and the strange, lithe singer (and former Fleet Foxes drummer). Tillman faked a southern accent for almost the entire set,...
Clip Art: Denver’s Own Churchill Debuts Video in Esteemed Company
Change is the only constant. Especially in Denver band Churchill’s brand new clip for the song of the same name. The visual for the mandolin-infused cut was shot in LA by Rich Lee and debuted on Vevo today alongside Justin Timberlake, Carrie Underwood and fellow Mile High clubbers The Lumineers. The title track from their...
Neighborhood Noise: Input Opens Up About Surviving Columbine and New Album
When I got back to the room was when I just broke apart because I realized that when I got back there, I left who I was at 14 years old on this science classroom floor. I remember exactly where I was standing when I first saw Input perform. He was opening for his good...
Soundcloud Gems: Andrew Gaskins
A delectable listen featuring sprays of twinkle-light electronica hanging in the window of the contemporary classical genre, Denver composer Andrew Gaskins proffers his painted glass version of the world through the hum of technology. Erring on the side of longer tracks a la Explosions In the Sky or The American Dollar or even British outfit,...
Tuneage at Denver Crowne Plaza New Year’s Eve Block Party
We live in an amalgam of colors, cultures, sounds and shimmering spectacles and the world of music is undoubtedly a part of that gorgeous lattice. In the case of the Denver Crowne Plaza New Year’s Eve Block Party, the experience of keeping it local while embracing what JJ Walker of The Collective 360 calls, “something...
Rhyme Time: Pries – The Lonely Kid Show
Denver has never been a hot bed for hip hop. Flobots and 3OH!3 are the only hip hop-flavored acts to break nationally to date. A groundswell’s in progress though. Pries is certainly a contender. He’s a capable emcee with consistently catchy production who’s opened for Talib Kweli, Twista and Dilated Peoples and even scored some...

Delicate Steve to Play Moe’s Original
I just wrapped a sit down with New Jersey based band, Delicate Steve. Okay maybe not exactly a full on sit down but a lengthy call none the less. And when I say lengthy I mean in “rock minutes”…not the average “ordinary people” minutes. I chatted with the surprisingly candid lead, Steve Marion – dubbed a “musical polymath”...
