PICK OF THE WEEK: The Budos Band – Gothic Theatre – Saturday, February 20th

Estimated read time 2 min read

‘Burnt Offering,’ the new album from The Budos Band, is a wild, booze-fueled ride of hazy riffs, take-no-prisoners horn lines and relentless percussion that summons the occult – an evolved sound for this mighty 10-piece band sparked by their love of Black Sabbath and Pentagram. Budos Band will be supported by Native Daughters this Saturday night at the Gothic Theatre, a must see show!

Atomga – April 26th – Cervantes’ Other Side

Estimated read time 3 min read

Cervantes’ Other Side was filled with funk last Thursday night when local Afrobeat-Funk-Jazz 11 piece Atomga, joined up with Michigan based Funktion to get the weekend started early and keep the crowd moving ’till late in the night. Considering Atomga has only been around for a year or so, it was a great turnout, and I think they stole quite a few people from the Devon the Dude show over in Cervantes’ Ballroom. Denver loves it’s Funk, and Atomga will no doubt be a name that this town knows much better in the near future.

Charles Bradley & The Menahan Street Band – September 13th – The Bluebird Theatre

Estimated read time 4 min read

In 1962 James Brown played The Apollo in New York City and a young Charles Bradley was there taking it all in. That show must have made a huge impression on the young man, because what I witnessed on stage on September 13th had the same energy and showmanship that I personally had only seen from the Godfather of Soul himself. He’s not the second coming of James Brown, he may be better!
