Estimated read time 3 min read

After two stellar shows at Red Rocks in August of 2016, the return of James Murphy and LCD Soundsystem has been the talk of Denver’s music community and the city had been buzzing about this show for months. As fans filed into the arena, the band’s giant disco ball was a welcome site as it foreshadowed the giant party that was about to erupt. There was no shortage of energy in the 1stBank Center and there didn’t seem to be an empty seat in the place as the razor sharp beams of light from the disco ball probed the farthest reaches of the room.

Estimated read time 2 min read

Denver’s own Fox Street has been missing from the scene for much of 2016. From the way lead singer and guitarist Jonathan “Skippy” Huvard tells it, things were pretty close to over for the R&B and blues saturated party band earlier this year before they were offered a landmark two night run at the Bluebird Theatre for New Year’s and they decided to band together and throw a party for the ages.

North American Scum – December 6th – 1up Colfax

Estimated read time 4 min read

Despite the Christmas parties that were raging all over town and a number of good shows packing venues on Colfax and beyond, the 1up-Colfax drew a solid crowd on Saturday night when North American Scum took the stage to perform two sets of LCD Soundsystem . The crowd was an eclectic mix of regulars, hippies, hipsters and 30 somethings looking to spend a few hours with the music of a band that called it quits at the height of their career. There’s no doubt that those who made it out for this were glad they did.

Dance Party Time Machine – November 14th – Ogden Theatre

Estimated read time 6 min read

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.

Foals – June 4th – Ogden Theatre

Estimated read time 3 min read

James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem recently stressed that making people dance is axiomatic, remarking, “It’s like food – if they’re not eating it, you’ve screwed it up.” U.K. band Foals obviously got the memo, taking Denver back to the basics at the Ogden Theater last week. A mixed crowd of glittered faces, hoodies, and retro victory roll hairdos braved the rare rainy Denver evening proving that if dancing is fundamental, it’s also universal.
