Snowball 2013: Goin’ Hard in Winter Park
Waking Up Is Hard If You Never Sleep It’s 7:33 in the morning, and I’m staring at a much-too-large deer head mounted over an inactive fireplace. The sun has just started giving me the creeps and reality is setting in. We’re in day two of life at Snowball. There is no other way to describe...
Rocky Mountin’: Mary Jane Enables Snowballin’ With Pretty Lights & More
Snowball is the closest Colorado has to a Coachella. Sure, we’ve got other successful festivals—Telluride Bluegrass and Global Dance represent the polar ends of the spectrum—but none boasts as diverse or eclectic a lineup as the ski resort town-based bash. Depending on the number of substances imbibed, past attendees may remember that previous installments went...
Hindsight: Wilco @ Vail Snow Daze
Temperatures were frigid Saturday night, as a snowflake-caked crowd celebrated Vail’s 50th birthday weekend with an energetic act from world-class band, Wilco. The band ended their 15-month tour at the three-day Vail Snow Daze festival, playing for a crowd covered in head-to-toe layers. Denver’s Nathaniel Rateliff opened the show. The band and the audience were in high spirits, as...
Look Ma, No Hands: Are EDM Stars Just Button-Pushers?
Joel Zimmerman has a knack for provoking people. The dance music superstar known as Deadmau5 rarely censors himself. In a July Rolling Stone, he arguably threw a few of his peers under the bus when he called them “button-pushers.” David Guetta and Skrillex were two specifically mentioned, but he didn’t exempt himself. “Not to say...
Festival Window: Great American Techno Bleeps Mile High Clubs
When Eminem famously rapped “Nobody listens to techno,” the word was still generally employed by outsiders as an ignorant/derogatory umbrella term for all electronic dance music. That was before the umbrella genre infiltrated mainstream airwaves. Now that the more user-friendly acronym EDM has replaced “techno” as the catch-all, fans of the sub-genre can listen to...
Twang Dang Doodle: Not Just Another Bluegrass Festival
The last time that I had the honor of witnessing New Jersey’s (who’da thought?) Railroad Earth play with Nederland’s Elephant Revival was a few New Years Eves ago at the Ogden. I had never before seen Elephant Revival and was brooding over missing their opening act when my redemption was served hot during the second...
Blues & Brews: Summertime Shindig on Pearl

With a legit line-up, frosty beers, and historical tree-lined streets as your backdrop, you...
Ye Old Festival of Eccentricity
I don’t belong in this era. I have hippy-long hair, I listen to ballroom jazz like a granny and when I speak, it sounds like 1940s cinema meets digital slang. But even I can’t help but judge the corsets dripping with cleavage and the fully feathered, mythical creatures that mob the fake village in Larkspur...
Festival Window: Get On The Good Foot
James Brown’s popular exclamation “Take it to the Bridge!” is an obligatory command for this weekend at State Bridge. Cervantes’ presents a three day mini-festival that boast the Soul Godfather’s celebrated line as its title and featuring bands that span the genre spectrum from minimalist electronica to folk rock and everything in between. Headliners include dub...
Gossip Whorin’: MTV Filming at Global Friday Night?
Rumor has it MTV will be shooting at Red Rocks this Friday night, where the tenth annual edition of Colorado’s Global Dance Festival is set to kickoff. Considering mainstream America’s relatively recent embrace of dance music (deadmau5, an artist who’s headlined Global in the past, just graced the cover of Rolling Stone), it’s hardly surprising...
