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.

The Motet’s annual Halloween run has become a Colorado institution, but this year finds the band with a new album out that has been their most collaborative to date. In the past the Motet has paid tribute to such luminaries as Earth, Wind, and Fire, Talking Heads, The Grateful Dead, and Madonna. But last year the band changed up the format will deliver a set of classics from 1975 – a particularly heady year for the genre they do best.

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.

The Motet’s annual “musical costume” shows on Halloween have become something of an institution here on the Front Range with folks buying tickets early in the summer to make sure they don’t miss out on the madness. This year’s run kicked off on the 25th, stopped in Denver for two nights at The Ogden before heading up to Vail and finally wrapping up last night in Boulder. When all was said and done it was a fun and funky show and while it didn’t top “Funk Is Dead,” everyone in the room had smiles on their faces to the bitter end.

All controversy about guns, religion, and lateness aside, Madonna put on a truly amazing performance at The Pepsi Center last week. From the EDM influenced tracks off her recent release ‘MDNA,’ to classics like “Like A Prayer” and “Vogue,” she delivered a concert that gave fans a great overview of her storied career without letting them forget that she is The Queen of Pop. When all was said and done, it was a true celebration and without a doubt one of the most impressive concerts we have ever experienced.

Nicki Minaj brought the bubblegum Hip-Pop to the Wells Fargo Theatre last night and the kids were out in force!!! Dressed to the nine’s in their finest neon this crowd was hellbent on having a great time and danced the night way with Minaj and her crew in the sterile room. While she’s no Madonna or Gaga, Minaj put on a hell of a stage show that featured several costume changes on a stage set that was complete with a pair of electric pink sweeping staircases. All in all, it was very fitting for a tour dubbed “Pink Friday.”

The Motet really outdid themselves this year. Sure, all of their previous Halloween shows have been great fun, but this time they did so much more than just cover another artists material. They completely reinvented the music of one of the true legendary catalogs in rock music in a way that Phil, Bobby, Mickey, Billy and Jerry would be proud of. From the opening notes of Feel Like A Stranger to the closer Loose Lucy, The Motet Funkified The Dead in grand fashion!
