Lagwagon – December 11th – Summit Music Hall
When Fat Mike (Nofx) chose to enlist Lagwagon as the first band on his label Fat Wreck Chords he knew what he was doing. The bands’ latest album has garnered unprecedented success, and people flocked from all over to see them perform at The Summit. The usual show junkies showed up, as well as the once-a-year show goers. The Summit was packed for this one and even though the balconies were open there was not much space to move around, especially during the main act.
Riot Fest – September 19th, 20th, 21st – Sports Authority Field
Although Riot Fest celebrated it’s tenth anniversary this year, it was only the second year that the festival has come to Colorado. The festival was originally located in Byers, but after the town refused to let festival attendees return for the second year, the event was moved to the blacktop at Sports Authority Field in Denver. Riot Fest is one-of-a-kind festival, with carnival rides and sideshows and a wide variety of music ranging from Rock to Punk to Rap.
Joey Cape – September 8th – The Walnut Room
The Walnut Room was packed for an acoustic night of music played by some of Punk Rock’s greatest doing a full night of acoustic performances. Several drunks were shushed during the show as it was a quiet room and at times hard to hear the performers over them. Despite the annoyance, the laid-back audience didn’t seem to care too much, they were just happy to see the Punk Rock superstar Joey Cape live in a piano bar or singer/songwriter type of setting rather than a raucous Punk club.
