The New Orleans Suspects – August 11th – Quixotes’ True Blue

Estimated read time 5 min read

The New Orleans Suspects are the newest band of their kind out of New Orleans, and yet is old school in its approach and its lineup. Let’s not mince words here; this band is a super-group by all measures. All you have to do is look at the players’ resumes. The band played a nice mix of NOLA staples and band originals, giving the audience a healthy dose of old and new material. They brought the heat on songs like “Smoke My Peacepipe” and “Sneakin’ Sally” with vocal arrangements that melted like butter on a hot NOLA day.

Dyrty Byrds – Zeitgeist

Estimated read time 3 min read

Dyrty Byrds are known for their straight-no-chaser southern tinged Rock and Roll, and their new album stays true to form. Zeitgeist is guitar heavy and aggressive, but still maintains a certain southern charm. In addition to being axe men, Eric Martinez (Bloodkin), Tori Pater (Polytoxic), and Sam Holt (Outformation) all shared songwriting duties on the album. Having three guitar players enables them to layer different tones and bring many different flavors into the mix but The Dryty Byrds aren’t all guitar.

Estimated read time 5 min read

A healthy crowd turned out to Quixote’s on Saturday night to take a trip back in time to the summer of 1973 with some local favorites. The original Watkins Glen Summer Jam was held on July 28th of 1973 and by some accounts drew as many as 600,000 people to hear three of the most legendary bands of the era: The Grateful Dead, The Band, and The Allman Brothers. Now we all know that Denver’s rich music scene has a lot to offer, and on Saturday it offered up three bands who were up for trying to fill the shoes of these legends.

Fox Street Allstars & Broken Tongues – December 16th – Cervantes’

Estimated read time 5 min read

Broken Tongues and Fox Street Allstars flipped the “Holiday Season Party Switch” into the ON position on Friday night and left everyone with a smile on their face. While Broken Tongues took us all on Funky Hip-Hop adventure that showcased tracks off their recent release “Crooked Skyline,” Fox Street Allstars cooked up a musical gumbo that is spiced with the sounds of New Orleans and has the aroma of the south. The room was on fire but we just let the mother burn and kept full glasses of beer on hand in case we needed to extinguish the flames.

Octopus Nebula & Signal Path – December 10th – The Bluebird Theatre

Estimated read time 3 min read

The Bluebird Theatre was packed with a good mix of people who all came to feel the BOOM! The room was dark the entire night and the light show was simple; more calming than mind blowing. Electronic music comes in many forms (especially in this town) and both Octopus Nebula and Signal Path blend live instrumentation with samples and synth to form a great balance of live music with well formed electronic additions.

Jerry Joseph & Wally Ingram – December 8th – The Bluebird Theatre

Estimated read time 6 min read

It was quiet at The Bluebird Theatre last Thursday night when Jerry Joseph & Wally Ingram were on the bill, but it was far from dead. Walking in to the sparsely attended show gave us the feeling of crashing a private party. Everyone seemed to know each other and there was a looseness and intimacy to the entire evening both onstage and off. Throughout the evening the duo focused on a stripped down and raw sound that seemed to come straight from the gut.
