We’ve got a simply glorious set of shows locked and loaded this week here in Denver. Check out some of the highlights!
Rip-roaring deathcore/ambient/post-jazz project Bilmuri is hitting the stage the Gothic Theatre on 8/24 and they’re bringing along Driveways to make sure the pit is ready to go from the very first note. Fronted by former Attack Attack! member Johnny Franck, this one will be a can’t miss Saturday event!
Everyone’s favorite chilled-out funk trio, Khruangbin, arrives in Colorado this week for a fabulous pair of shows. Their first stop is the Mission Ballroom for an intimate show on 8/24, and then on 8/27 they’ll be pulling out all the stops for a massive Red Rocks set. Peter Cat Recording Co. will join them for both evenings to nail the vibes from the get-go.
The Hold Steady are taking over the Bluebird Theater for a three-night run from 8/22 to 8/24. Keeping things fresh are three amazing openers—Jesus Christ Taxi Driver on 8/22, Dead Pioneers on 8/23 and the always excellent Daniel Rodriguez on 8/24. This three-night run is the start of their 20th anniversary tour, so these will be some incredibly special shows.
