Revenge of the 90’s III – March 30th – Cervantes’

Estimated read time 6 min read

The 90’s were back in full force on Saturday night at Cervates’ as J2G Live threw their annual 90’s Night party with some of the best musicians in Denver doing the heavy lifting. There were tons of costumes that confused the best of 80’s fashion (Neon) with the best of 90’s (Flannel) and a ton of girls even got their hair crimped for the occasion. It was great to see people getting so into the spirit of the party and it was clear that 90’s Night grabbed a firm foothold in the Denver music scene in it’s third year.

Tiger Party – October 24th – Highland Tap & Burger

Estimated read time 2 min read

With contributing members from Lotus, Octopus Nebula, and The Malah, we weren’t 100% sure what Tiger Party was going to sound like but the product of their funky jam fusion was a thing of beauty for the ears. As the scents of French Fries and cannabis permeated the crowd, the band warmed the room with a rump shaking set that kept the dance floor moving the entire evening. Keep your eyes peeled for upcoming Tiger Party shows because there ain’t no party like a Tiger Party.

The vibe was undeniably palpable. It was old friends reconnecting, new friends introducing. More than mere music on the street. More still than the artwork it celebrated, Ascension brought together a synergy of Denver’s most-respected visual artists and musicians for a free-to-the-public celebration of life. Featuring performances by The Great Mundane, Akara, KiloWatts, and Octopus Nebula, and artwork by Kurt Redeker, Dan Bishop, David Hale, Jeff Wood, and more this was a one of a kind event.

Nothing like a quick stop home to do some laundry and unload all your camping and photo gear, just to turn around and pack it back up less than 24 hours later.

20 Questions With MTHDS

Estimated read time 4 min read

Denver’s MTHDS are reviving their Beastie Boys tribute show this week in honor of Adam “MCA” Yauch who passed away in early May and they took some time to answer our “20 Questions” as they prepped for the show. One read through this exchange and you’ll get a feel for what a witty, sarcastic bunch of guys that make up this group. From comparing themselves to The Partridge Family to claiming that John Denver is one of the best local bands on the scene right now, it’s clear that one of the only these guys take seriously is their music.
