The Platte river may not run green like the Chicago River, but Denverites are no less zealous in their celebration of the patron saint of Ireland. The celebration began on Saturday March 14th, and continued through March 17th in what seemed like a four day non-ending pub crawl. With a firm constitution, and cast iron liver, I made it through all this year’s celebratory activities which culminated in a great night of locals only music at the Bluebird Theater on Colfax.

Rowdy Shadehouse has been funking up stages in Colorado and beyond the past couple of years, but it looks like they are giving their A-stroke as of late, and sliding into the hearts of funk lovers everywhere. This bare chested, tight wearing, fun loving, party provoking and sex drive accelerating 6 to 9, not 69, piece band will blow your socks off but ask you to leave your boots on as they funk you to death.

Last week Jason and The Punknecks, the self proclaimed “Hillbilly Band of Sexy Punky Tonkers,” took the slightly elevated stage at The Lion’s Lair.

That said, their punk country sound is rawer and more dangerous than the songs of John Doe and Exene Cervenka.

Champagne Charlie is a band that grew both musically and lyrically despite, or maybe due to, dimly lit rooms, and the smell of stale beer combined with sour bar towels. Manifestation artistique, originally a four member band, their numbers have grown to seven or more depending on the night.

The Cirque Voltaire Deux featured two musical acts and a stage was filled with sideshow acts, burlesque dancers, mentalist magic, aerial performers, a bearded lady, and even an animal act with a trained monkey playing cymbals. It was a night of sensory overload which Brandan Styles and Ellie Rusinova, the artistic duo that form Mad Tatters, coordinated to promote intellectual exchanges, oppose intolerance, and just maybe have a little fun along the way.
