For starters, the turn out was awesome for the "Rockers for Kids" benefit concert at the Gothic. Plastic Parachute rocked. They're a great band, a little on the punk side. Great to see them appear for the cause. Wendy Woo came, played, left. So much for being a part of the benefit. Nina Storey didn't bother to show because Star Search is more important than Kids who need care.....???? I will apologize now for not remembering the names of the female-fronted blues band. I'm a sucker for th...
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 ...
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 ...
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.
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...
So this is HUGE. The Denver music scene is swiftly becoming popular, thanks mostly to the wonderful musicians that live in the beautiful state of Colorado. Here's a run-down of my personal favorite groups: Strange Condition - Rapidly becoming one of the most popular local bands. These guys will go places, and I'm behind them all the way. Their next show is January 2 at the Gothic. Big steps for these guys. They put on a hell of a show. It's very difficult to describe, and definately a mu...
