  • Rhymesayers Entertainment, the Minneapolis independent Hip-Hop collective co-founded by Sean Daley (Slug) of Atmosphere in 1995, has built an incredible lineup of artists, a rabid fan base, and a hometown Hip-Hop scene that’s one of the best in the country. Last Friday night at The Ogden, with help from Carnage The Executioner and I Self Devine, Atmosphere proved yet again that they’re as relevant today as ever, and their live show is still one not to be missed.

  • Hot Buttered Rum and Cornmeal kicked off their co-headlining tour at The Ogden Theatre in Denver last Saturday night.  Band and fans alike were all smiles as Hot Buttered Rum got things started with an upbeat 90 minute set. Cornmeal followed with a set that flowed perfectly, and featured several songs that stretched beyond the ten minute mark, including a nearly twenty minute "Black Smoke Rising."  The evening was capped with a thirty minute "clusterpluck" featuring all members of both bands.

When Chris Cornell finally emerged with guitar hoisted overhead, his smile indicated he was as happy to be at Red Rocks as the enthusiastic crowd.  From the opening notes of “Searching With My Good Eye Closed,” it was obvious the Soundgarden wasn't about to let their longtime fans down.
