From the J2G Live, the people who brought you The Love Shack and The Dance Party Time Machine, comes School’s Out. Join over 30 musicians to celebrate the songs that make summer the best time of year. Featuring Allen Aucoin of the Disco Biscuits, Todd Smallie of JJ Grey & Mofro and David Murphy of Seven Arrows.
The party was on at Cervantes’ last Friday night as lovers and those looking for love packed the Ballroom for the second installment of J2G Live’s “Love Shack” event. To celebrate the holiday you love to hate, The Love Shack puts a cheerful spin on things regardless of your status. Whether you went with your significant other, a group of couples or friends, Friday night was a blast. It was a show for the ages, and we can only hope that J2G keeps putting together this high octane parties for years to come.
From the Delorean parked out front to Marc Brownstein performing the narration on “Thriller” as the show wound to a close, last Friday night’s long-anticipated Dance Party Time Machine was a major, bad-to-the-bone success. A vast majority of Denver’s local Jam, Rock, and Funk music scenes were represented, with musicians taking turns on-stage throughout the duration of the Dance Party’s 4-hour throw-down. Denverites should feel lucky to have such incredible performers, artists, and musicians living in our midst.
On November 14th, Colorado’s best musicians will take you on an unforgettable journey through decades of your favorite dance party music aboard the already legendary “Dance Party Time Machine.” From the 50’s to Today, the Dance Party Time Machine will jump from era to era, placing your dancing feet in various time periods, while you stay right here in Denver!
Last Friday Sound Tribe Sector 9 returned to Red Rocks Amphitheatre for an intimate and powerful three-set performance. The evening was highlighted by a special acoustic “Axe the Cables” performance, a tradition that the group started here in Denver in 2009. It was a massive effort. The Tribe seems to be settling in nicely to their most recent incarnation; they are more on point than ever and having more fun doing what they do best.
A healthy sized crowd piled into The Ogden last Friday night to welcome Philadelphia’s Conspirator and help local favorites YAMN celebrate the release their brand new double disk album “Unity of Opposites.” Fans of electronic based Rock and Roll were not disappointed as they witnessed a night of dance grooves, epic sit-ins, and top notch jamming from giants of the genre.
David Murphy (formerly of STS9) returns to Cervantes’ this Friday with his Pink Floyd tribute “Pigs on the Wing,” which features a plethora of talent from a myriad of musical backgrounds. The band provides audiences with an interpretation of Floyd that harkens back to the early 70s “Live At Pompeii” sound and they surely have something special in store for hard core Floyd heads and music lovers alike.
Valentine’s Day may be a “Hallmark Holiday” but music was in the air at Cervantes’ Ballroom this year and whether they were in love or looking for love, out of love or in lust, the nearly capacity crowd came to party at “The Love Shack,” the newest themed superjam dance party from the guys over at J2G Live. David Murphy and members of The Disco Biscuits, The Motet and countless other bands proved this wasn’t just another jam session as they delivered the goods.
