The Samples – December 12th – Fillmore Auditorium

Estimated read time 6 min read

27 years after their initial formation, and 25 years after the release of their first album, the “original line-up” of The Samples reunited Friday night for a single show at The Fillmore Auditorium. Though the original lineup began to fracture in 1997, the songs written and recorded by the band during those first ten years remain a powerful and vivid soundtrack to the young adult lives of many dedicated followers. The hopes were high, the energy was elevated, and the plaid was plentiful. This crowd was not going to be denied a party.

SnowBall Music Festival – April 4th – Sports Authority Field

Estimated read time 4 min read

SnowBall Music Festival opened Friday night at Sports Authority Field in a new home and with a fresh lineup that went well beyond another night at the club. While Dubstep was indeed the king of the evening, high-fashion Disco and dirty Shoegaze did not go unsung. The weather was a factor and a damp chill in the air made it feel more like winter in San Francisco than spring in Denver. Cool temperatures, however, did not dampen the spirits of the modestly sized crowd.
