The Motet – April 20th – Fillmore Auditorium
Every year in Colorado, April 20 really does feel like a holiday. But this year, with the passage of Amendment 64 last fall, Coloradoans were craving that Rocky Mountain High more than ever. Colfax was packed early in the day, and it definitely seemed like something strange was in the air. For the funky dance band known for its sold-out, psychedelic Halloween shows, the weirdness in the air last Saturday could have resembled one of those late October shows The Motet has been putting on for about a decade.

Juno What?! – February 18th – Cervantes’ Ballroom
Denver’s Five Points was the Jazz Mecca of the American West from the 20’s to the mid 50’s. Back then Welton Street was the place to be, with its clubs featuring musical greats like Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday. Promoting a theory of the avant-garde, Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom and Cervantes’ Other Side strive to help the Five Points neighborhood reclaim its former glory and events like last Saturday’s shameless dance party with Juno What?! that have once again begun to expand the boundaries of Denver’s live music experience.
