Winter has come to Denver with a bit of a vengeance this week, but we’ve got plenty of fabulous shows to keep you warm and ward off those first flakes of snow:
Celebrating 10 years of their seminal second record, Distraction, and the release of their freshest album, The Key To What?, Bear Hands is bearing down on Denver with a show at Meow Wolf on 11/9. To get off on the right foot, Worry Club and Broken Record will take the stage prior to warm everyone up.
Maine-grown and Denver-rooted producer Of The Trees is coming to Red Rocks for an absolutely massive weekend with headlining sets on 11/9 and 11/10. He’s got Mindchatter, Halogenix, Anna Morgan, Posij and Sylph starting things off on that first evening, and then Emancipator Trio, Goopsteppa, Freddy Todd and Chef Boyarbeatz will be firing up the crowd to begin on Saturday. With lineups like these, braving the cold will be oh-so worth it!
If you play an instrument and would like to feel wildly inadequate about playing said instrument, this Wednesday, 11/6, at Summit Music Hall is the place to be. Legendary technical metal shredders Animals as Leaders are coming to town to play in every time signature but your standard 4/4, and Australian guitar phenom Plini will be bringing the flames from the fretboards as an appetizer.
