Countdown Get-Downs
If you’re anything like me, you’re still trying to figure out what you want to do this New Year’s Eve—and failing stupendously at finding a solution. There are just too many damn things going on. According to Travelocity Denver is one of the top cities to ring in 2012, so pretending there’s nothing going on...
Whomp & Circumstance: Dubstep Promoter Nicole Cacciavillano
When it comes to the bottom end of the audio spectrum, Nicole Cacciavillano is on top. Denver’s bass music scene—ranked first in The States and fourth on Earth—simply wouldn’t be the same without Cacciavillano’s promotion company Sub.Mission. From the sound of her business moniker, Cacciavillano wears the smarty pants in the family. Only IQ could...
Showdown: Bright Eyes
Eardrum the new Bright Eyes yet? If the only bright eyes you know are the words to the interpretive dance-worthy pop song, then you haven’t the foggiest what I’m talking about. Bright Eyes is the longtime guise of Omaha-bred songwriter Conor Oberst. Oberst was a bona fide prodigy when he was young, recording with a...
Hindsight: Denver gets $leazy
“It’s going to be a fucking epic dance party,” Ke$ha announced at the kickoff of The Get $leazy Tour, which made a brief stop in Denver Saturday night at The Fillmore. Opening for a sold out crowd, the 23 year-old wild child hit the stage in bright white lights and a cloud of smoke, rattling...
Hindsight: Dateless @ DeVotchKa
I had free tickets to Devotchka’s Valentine’s Day Gala & CD Release Party Saturday night. My date left with flu symptoms sometime between Denver’s Gregory Alan Isakov, and the L.A. based punk/mariachi band, Mariachi El Bronx. I was sober and tired and now, all alone. I was annoyed. It didn’t help that I was surrounded by a cast of...
Vlog On: “Panty Droppers”
Menverites: wanna impress your S.O. on V-Day? Cupid Valentino and the Filipino Love Muscle–Sammy T–have a few tips. Catch a live version (and much more) at our Sex Issue Release party on Tuesday at Lannie’s.
Hindsight: deadmau5 @ The Fillmore
Joel Zimmerman went from zero to DJ Hero in record time. Live Nation doesn’t even know how to spell his alias yet; tickets for this week’s two night stand read “DEADMAUS5″. Zimmerman, the man behind the deadmau5 mask, may hail from Canada, but Denver-based Beatport.com is largely responsible for putting him on the beatmap. Playing...
NocturnOwl: deadmau5
Deadmau5′s career is alive and well. D.C.-area heads must’ve wondered if his alias was a self-fulfilling prophecy, though, when a July set ended abruptly due to “exhaustion”. Vet techs on the scene recommended canceling nine tour dates to recover from the collapse–Montreal, Tokyo, Ibiza, Budapest and Barcelona were among them. Hungry for mouse clicks,...
Aural Pleasure: Janelle Monáe
Metropolis is in trouble. A secret society known as The Great Divide is using time travel to suppress freedom and love among its citizens. Thankfully, heroic ArchAndroid Cindi Mayweather is here to save the day. If this all sounds like the plot of a science fiction flick, that's because it's inspired by...
Beatport Floorfillers: Bassnectar – Timestretch
If you thought Bassnectar was some sort of ceviche recipe, consider yourself officially out of touch with the underground. Lorin Ashton, long eclipsed by his strikingly accurate moniker, is an extremely versatile DJ, capable of juggling a plethora of genres within a single, continuously-mixed set. His sublime sunrise sets at Burning Man have...
