Description
Wherever the music is, you'll find me with my camera, shooting on street corners, from barstools at clubs, from the side of the stage at theaters, and from photo pits in places like Red Rocks. Clicking away, trying to capture the emotive essence of music, and all those moments that we forget because of one too many Pabst Blue Ribbons.

  • The day before Saint Patrick’s Day is what we Irish like to call Saint Practice day.  It’s the day that we begin stretching our livers for the main event and judging by the sheer number of individuals in green and gold filling the floor of the Ogden, Denver must be 90% Irish. As G. Love spit out the verse "Leprechauns smoking that green shit down," we all knew the Ogden was the place to be to ring in St. Patty's Day proper.

  • Producer Gabriel Selko and Moth Poetic Circus decided to start Mardi Gras four days early this year by bringing a spectacle that was a year in the making called The Cirque Side of the Moon to Casselman’s on February 8th.  It was a world of a world of voodoo, circus, music, enchantment, and excess and the crowd came dressed to impress.  Adorned in makeup, feathers, masks, and of course green, gold and purple beads eye candy was everywhere you looked.

  • Last Saturday wasn't just another night on Colfax.  Those who were lucky enough to cram themselves into The Ogden Theatre for The Nuns of Brixton, Synthetic Elements, and Goldfinger saw stage diving, crowd surfing, and middle aged nuns playing Clash covers.  In a strange juxtaposition the show closed with a cover of the Nena version of "99 Red Balloons."  Quite simply, if you weren't having fun, you weren't trying.

  • Reverend Horton Heat brought their high-energy Psychobilly sound to The Ogden Theatre last weekend and delivered a rowdy show that had every toe in the place tapping along with highlights from all of their studio albums and some choice covers that ranged from Chuck Berry to The Dead Kennedys.  The straight forward punk and complex melodies of local boys, Reno Divorce, opened the show and set the stage for fast and furious night on Colfax.

  • The basic boombox from the 70's and 80's consisted of an AM/FM receiver, a cassette player, and two speakers, all housed in a plastic or metal case with a handle that made it portable.  While back then the boombox was an integral part of Hip-Hop by artists like Fab Five Freddy, Schooly D, and the Beastie Boys, today BoomBox is a Electro-Funk-Rock duo from Alabama and they tore up The Ogden for two nights last weekend!

  • When Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band took to the stage at The Bluebird they certainly confused more than one onlooker as there were only three people on the stage.  There was Breezy Peyton on washboard and back-up vocals, Aaron Persinger on drums (a stripped down drum kit that included a 5 gallon plastic bucket), and Reverend Peyton himself on guitar.  How could they call this a Big Damn Band?  Where was the bass player, and the other guitar player?

  • First Friday packed the sidewalks and bars along Tennyson as a healthy crowd filed into The Oriental Theater for a night of musical tributes (and at least one surprise guest).  With The Dirty Femmes honoring The Violent Femmes, MF Ruckus nodding to Iron Maiden, and Hell's Belles doing their best AC/DC impression, it was a night complete with sex, drugs, and Rock and Roll.

  • Burning Man is much more than just a temporary community. It's a city in the desert dedicated to radical self reliance, radical self-expression, and art. Innovative sculpture, art installations, performance art, theme camps, art cars, and costumes all represent forms of artistic expression on the playa.  Elements of the abstract and surreal are everywhere as long horned steers and cans of Spam rise from the desert floor that surround the Man and the Temple.
