Things have changed a lot since Punk began; instead of clubs with a capacity of under 200 people, long established bands share lineups that fill venues like Sculpture Park; which offers a capacity of more than 5,000. Gone are the stinky, graffiti covered bathrooms with floors so soft you feel like you might fall through when you use the urinals, replaced by a long line of porta-potties. Ok I guess not everything is necessarily better, but I think most people (those who weren’t preoccupied with proving they they’re punker than thou) both young and old enjoyed being brought together by music and good beer to hang out with the dancing sculptures for a day.

After three rowdy nights at The Ogden Theatre, anticipation levels were high to see if The Disco Biscuits could finally deliver a Red Rocks performance for the ages. While they have had some memorable moments, the band had yet to play the front-to-back classic on The Rocks. With how well the band had been playing of late, and with how unbelievably good the previous three nights were, fans were confident this was their year and, to their delight, that confidence was rewarded with easily the best show the band had played at Red Rocks to date.

Hipsters and Hip-Hop kids alike quickly filled The Gothic last Tuesday night, and the room was mostly full for openers Despot (please release your album!) and Ratking. This crowd skewed closer to early twenties than the late thirties ages of headliner Run The Jewels’ El-P and Mike. This crowd was firedup, and well aware that they were about to witness one of the best shows of the year, Hip-Hop or otherwise.

Cash Cash and The Floozies turn up the beat for the Denver stop of Budweiser’s 2014 Made in America concert series. It brought trending sounds to a dynamic crowd and turned up the heat for what is going to be an epic summer in Denver. Everyone had a great time and it showed on social media days after the event like being the coolest summer house party with the loud music, contagious energy, and an endless supply of Budweiser.

The Summit Music Hall filled to a healthy level fairly early last Saturday as fans of Massachusetts-based Indietronica group Passion Pit gathered to see what their “Special DJ Set” was all about. Unfortunately, the set, which consisted of two members of the group DJing, fell short on many fans’ expectations–an evening of Deep House is hardly what someone sees when they read the words “Passion Pit Special DJ Set” on a ticket. The music was great if you are into House music, but in some way, the whole evening seemed to be a bit of a ruse.

Halloween might have happened on Thursday, Oct. 31, but it happened again two days later at The Ogden Theatre when The Motet packed the house for a sold-out show that Denver fans come out in droves for every year. While The Motet puts on an annual Halloween rager, this year’s show was focused on the year 1980, and the crowd added to the theme with costumes that shaded the room with every bright color that the 80s represented.

With outrageous stage antics that include gaudy leotards stolen from Steven Tyler’s wardrobe, leaps and splits borrowed from David Lee Roth, and an ear-piercing falsetto copped from Freddie Mercury himself, England’s The Darkness have single-handedly resurrected the rather unfashionable sounds and attitudes of late-’70s hard rock for an unsuspecting generation.

Brandi Carlile’s progression as a musician over the last seven years, from Colorado’s most intimate venues to the world’s best outdoor venue has been meteoric. Her path has included four studio albums, endless touring (including a symphony tour), good ol’ fashion fan engagement, two live albums and an unrelenting, and unmistakable, drive to stay true to herself. If Carlile’s first headlining Red Rocks show is any indication of what’s next for her, there is little doubt that whatever it is, it will be special.
