On a warm Friday evening in early April my Uber dropped me in front of The Ogden Theater. On the marquee below the purposefully distorted letters spelling out the headliners name were the words “Sold Out”. There weren’t even scalpers outside selling overpriced tickets on the secondary market. Sold out, meant sold out. Denverites must really love their ska-punk like their beloved Colfax Avenue, a little dirty, a bit raw, and always entertaining.

There’s not much of a buzz circulating about Reel Big Fish in Denver these days–nonetheless, they band has retained an impressive fan-base here over the years and they all came out to the Gothic Theatre on Friday in salute to the band’s “Don’t Stop Skanking” tour. Many were shocked to discover the tickets sold-out well before the doors opened that evening. Though the headlining act’s performance was somewhat abbreviated, it was well-delivered.

Pepper and Sublime with Rome packed Red Rocks on Sunday night with a crowd of nostalgia seeking 30 somethings and a mob of kids who were glimmers in their parents eyes when Bradley Nowell and Sublime got together back in 1988. Though Nowell is no longer with us, having died of a Heroin overdose back in 1996, Rome Ramirez, Josh Freese, and original Sublime member Eric Wilson are carrying the torch in the form of Sublime with Rome and doing a damn good job of it.

The 18th annual Westword Music Showcase took over Denver’s Golden Triangle on the 23rd as 15 venues hosted hundreds of local and national bands in the 104 degree heat. On the blacktopped area in front of the main stage, people’s shoes sizzled in the sun and the music was as hot as the pavement. We sweated, smiled and danced to a wide array of sounds. The nationally touring acts on the main stage added power to the event, and the energy Girl Talk put out at the end of the night nearly surged the grid.

Ah, the 90’s. It was a wild time with 80’s Hair Bands getting devoured by the raging juggernaut out of Seattle that was grunge, and Hip-Hop enjoying it’s glory years. Nirvana fearlessly led the Grunge movement while Green Day showed us all how to blend Pop and Punk to create some ridiculously hooky songs. Speaking of hooky songs, Weezer, Sheryl Crow, and Ace of Base all cranked out a few of their own throughout a decade that was known for the rise of the internet, the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and the first Gulf War.

Listen Up Denver! recently had the opportunity to catch up with Scott Vandrey from the Maryland band Ballyhoo! as he discussed the bands new record and their current tour with Pepper.
