I have to begin by telling you that any night of the week is a good night to support local music. This includes Tuesday, especially when it's the night before a HUGE party night. With that said, you missed a great show. True to form, The Project was a hit. I am sorry for all of you who care to stay in your safe little worlds on Tuesday nights. You all are missing out on the best artists Denver has to offer. Niki and crew know how to get 'em moving. Now, I realize that Pink-e's is about as...
Because this is prior to the show, I will keep it short. I want to say WAY TO GO GUYS!!! I am so excited for you! This is so the coolest thing. I can't wait! I am soooo excited to see this show.
HOW COULD YOU MISS THIS SHOW???? I know, it was a school night! I'm okay with that as an excuse, but not as a reason! I, too, must make sure I get my beauty rest. I carry a load of work AND school. I still find the time to go to these shows, and have yet to find a reason that overpowers an excuse as to why I didn't go. With that said, I really believe that every band should play the Little Bear. Talk about your intimate concert setting. I also believe that everyone should see a band at the Li...
Hey, Hey. Happy Wednesday! I have decided to create a listing here so the FANS can have quick access to a compilation of monthly venues for the BEST BANDS IN DENVER. I am also working on a website to do the same. All that I have found seem to be terribly incomplete, and it's frustrating trying to find out when and where the BEST are playing. Wednesday, January 21 - Fong Jones @ The Little Bear 28075 Hwy 74 (Main Street) Evergreen, CO Doors o...
I am amazed. I believe that was one of the best, if not THE BEST show I have ever seen The Fong Jones Band play. The crowd was decent and the air was ELECTRIC. I had a lot of fun. This band will be HUGE in no time, mark my words! If you missed this show, it may behoove you to not miss another! They play the Little Bear in Evergreen on January 21st and with Strange Condition in 4 upcoming shows! The first two are : The Starlight in Ft. Collins on January 24 and Herman's Hideaway on Jan. 31...
So the concert at the Gothic came off superbly. This group never ceases to amaze me. They seem to get better every show. As for those of you who missed it, you missed out on the energy and excitement this band emits. The turn out for this show was awesome. Finally, they were able to reach a younger crowd. The expressions on their faces and the energy they fed back to the band was absolutely amazing! I know I can't say enough wonderful things about this band. I know you all will make the ...
Last night, a few of us made the trek to Colorado Springs to support Strange Condition in the Budweiser Battle of the Bands. They ROCKED! I'm exhausted. I think it's the earlliest I've seen them play in nearly a year. The stage was so small, we were sure someone was going to fall off. We took off after their set, but I know they were the best group there. DON'T FORGET THE SOILED DOVE SHOW ON SATURDAY. STRANGE CONDITION AND THE FONG JONES BAND . Cover is $6. Doors ...
Happy Monday! What a great weekend this was! The turnout was awesome and The Dove was packed! The Demon Funkies got the night rollin'. I have seen them play once before and enjoyed them. Looking forward to seeing more of this band around, hopefully out of the early spot. Voodoo Brown took the stage around 10. It was my first time seeing them and I am impressed. Gotta love that funky sax. Can't wait to see these guys again as well. The Zen Barons came on around midnight. ...
HAPPY FRIDAY! DON'T FORGET THIS IS MARDI GRAS WEEKEND!!! COME PARTY WITH THE ZEN BARONS AT THE SOILED DOVE. This promises to be a kick-ass little shin-dig. Bits and Pieces EVERYWHERE . Cover is $6. Hurricanes are $4. The rest of the stuff is priceless. Laissez les Bon Temps Rouler !!!!! TTYL!
I have, for many months, been accompanying THE NIKI JENEWEIN PROJECT to Guitar Church on Mondays at the Mead Street Satation. Last night, as always, Niki was awesome. It is only a 4 song set. As soon as she began, the noise reduced immensely and a few people even paused their conversations to listen. With the voice of an angel, Niki is one of the biggest attractions at Mead Street on Mondays. The second best part? It is FREE. Make sure you check out her site for showtimes as it varies we...
I started the night at Herman's, actually. I was there to see Devouring Saturn before adjourning to The Soiled Dove for an evening of acoustic sets. I really enjoy this band. They've got a very deep sound and June sings some heavy lyrics. I also had the unfortunate experience of sitting next to 3 people who a) wouldn't stop talking and had absolutely nothing nice to say. I was appalled. These people were supposed to be friends with one of the musicians on stage. Now, I am perfectly okay wi...
SHOWS SHOWS SHOWS! EXCITING, FANTASTIC, FABULOUS SHOWS. WHERE TO SEE AND BE SEEN. IT'S WHERE ALL THE COOL PEOPLE ARE. Okay, enough. By now you all should get it, do it and be it. If you're not, then you're L7. Or you're not paying attention. TIME TO OPEN YOUR EYES AND EARS TO WHAT DENVER HAS TO OFFER!!! I am adding 2 new bands to the site this month. Plastic Parachute and Sandcreek. Holla! Watch for reviews. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T ALREADY KNOW WHERE TO BE IN FEBRUARY...... FEBRUAR...
Are my reviews becoming redundant? Gosh, I hope not. My hope is that they inspire you to support, if not the Denver music scene, then your own local artists and entertainers. All of these bands work normal 8-5 day jobs (in some cases more than one job), and do this because they love the music. Have I said how much I hate it when people show up to a venue and then act like they're having a horrible time????? WE DON"T WANT THAT NEGATIVE ENERGY IN THE ROOM SO IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ENJOY YOURSE...
Upon arriving at the Starlight last night, we were greeted by a tiny venue for HUGE bands. Such a disappointment they couldn't fit more people in the door. It was an all ages show, which is always a treat.It's always awesome to get the younger crowd. They are the future of album sales and contract decisions! The Fong Jones band went on stage about 8:30. I really appreciate the fact that the show doesn't lose any value or energy despite the fact that it was an early show. I think they should ...
OKAY... I know this is comin' at ya late, but better than never.... The Zen Barons played The Toad Tavern on Friday and I KNOW that most of you didn't go to the show....for whatever reason. Despite the crappy rainy night, it was warm and rockin' inside The Toad. I always have a great time watchin these guys. And I can't help but move...dance....shake my groove thang.... I am so excited about their new CD..... Release party will be in JUNE (?!?!?) at Herman's (!!!!) and OFF THE HOO...
