Hindsight: Daughter at Larimer Lounge
A sold-out show on a Monday night? On an unseasonably hot May evening? It doesn’t matter how many PBR’s you wash down, Larimer Lounge turns into a sweltering den of still air and hot lights when the temps rise. Daughter (originally a solo project from the pixie-adorable Elena Tonra) is an indie folk trio that...
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). Andrews is known for putting on fairly chaotic, possessed-style shows. This sweet, poetic fellow kindly phoned in from atop a mountain in Utah....
Hindsight: Sigur Rós @ 1st Bank Center
Imagine sparklers and unicorns on a space beach, while shooting stars fall out of the sky. That’s Sigur Rós. That’s the half-blind, pixie-voiced frontman Jónsi Birgisson and his fleet of Icelandic musicians off a magical pirate ship. Last night’s performance at the 1st Bank Center cast a silent, collective spell over a crowd of thousands. The air was charged with poetic...
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...
48 Hours in Austin: SXSW
Friday, March 15th 1 pm: No sign of Snoop Lion, Grumpy Cat or Shaq Onward to Disneyland for music fans, also known as South by Southwest. Rented some beat-up cruisers and headed to the Rolling Stone Rock Room, at a quaint venue with lineups curated by Rolling Stone editors. Caught second half of rock/soul...
The Reel Deal: Frightened Rabbit’s Scott Hutchison Q&A
On Monday, March 18th, rousing Scottish indie rockers, Frightened Rabbit, will return to Denver (Gothic Theatre) with another round of emotionally charged, acoustic sounds. And frontman, Scott Hutchison, is amped. “I really like playing in places that are kind of like drinking towns. Denver feels like that to me…and we’re really looking forward to it!”...
Event Horizon: Bassnectar Brings Low End Back to Red Rocks’ High Place
Bassnectar’s sphere of influence continues to expand. Last year witnessed a number of milestones. Partially thanks to Ellie Goulding remix-facilitated momentum and a title track assist from Lupe Fiasco, April release Vava Voom cracked the Top 40 (moving 13,000 units in week one). The pages of Rolling Stone were graced by the longhair and his...
Axe Tappin’: Legends The Who Rock Quadrophenia in Denver
Keith Moon, Roger Daltrey, and Pete Townshend–all legends in their own right. I heard these names sparingly throughout my childhood, my dad would tell me he was giving me his best Keith Moon impression when he would bust out a dramatic drum solo on the steering wheel of his 87′ F150. I had no idea who that...
Soundcloud Gems: Elektrik Sunset
Only in California would you find a band like Elektrik Sunset: a blend of surfer rock a la Camper Van Beethoven and the stripped down energy of the punk genre…in short, perfect for a Warren Miller video on the ski slopes or shots of summer skating in swimming pools, concrete sidewalks or just about any...
Rhyme Horizon: Outkast Alum Big Boi Forges Bravely Forward
Frank Ocean recently nonchalantly facilitated one of the most anticipated reunions in hip hop history—sort of. Outkast alum Big Boi was invited by the Grammy-nominated singer to drop a verse on the remix of his “Pink Matter,” the original of which already featured the defunct Atlanta duo’s other half Andre 3000. No, Big Boi and...
Soundcloud Gems: Mark Petrie
Compliments of Apple, we all have the luxury of walking around with our own personal soundtracks bleeding into every step, every breath, and every daydream. Some of us err on the side of the Top 40 charts or whatever super cool, so-ultra-trendy-I-could-puke tracks are currently featured on Hipster Runoff and then there are those whose...
Soundcloud Gems: Asian She
If Bret Easton Ellis’s book, Less Than Zero, had a soundtrack packaged with it, the tunes might sound a little bit like Asian She–a pair of California music makers whose band name is decidedly deceptive. Frankly, judging the band by its moniker delivers expectations of the ever-saccharin Japanese duo Cibo Matto, but instead Noah Lebenzon and...
