Soul Rebels Brass Band – Oskar Blues – Friday, April 19th
Posted on April 15, 2013 | No CommentsImagine blending the sounds of Mardi Gras funk, soft rock, and reggae so seemingly it defies category. Now shrink that idea into a seven-piece ensemble, add a hip hop sensibility plus a hundred years of New Orleans jazz tradition, and you get the Louisiana sound known as The Soul Rebels. Along with Denver’s own Strange Americans, The Soul Rebels will help celebrate Marquee Magazine's 10 Year Anniversary Party at Oskar Blues Grill & Brew in Lyons, Colorado! -

STS9 – December 28th – Private In-Store @ Twist & Shout
Posted on January 4, 2013 | No CommentsBack in December our own Brian Turk got an email from someone at Twist & Shout with an invitation to a private STS9 in-store show the night before the band kicked-off their three night New Year's run at The Fillmore. Twist & Shout is known for their exclusive and memorable in-store performances, but this one was a going to be a bit different. The stripped down and intimate show showcased a more organic presentation of STS9 material, and revealed the foundation on which this Temple of Boom is built. -
Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band – November 17th – The Bluebird
Posted on November 27, 2012 | No CommentsWhen Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band took to the stage at The Bluebird they certainly confused more than one onlooker as there were only three people on the stage. There was Breezy Peyton on washboard and back-up vocals, Aaron Persinger on drums (a stripped down drum kit that included a 5 gallon plastic bucket), and Reverend Peyton himself on guitar. How could they call this a Big Damn Band? Where was the bass player, and the other guitar player? -
Gramatik Talks Nikola Telsa, Music Piracy, and Amendment 64
Posted on November 16, 2012 | No CommentsGramatik is headlining his first show at The Fillmore this Saturday night. With opening acts Talib Kweli and Mux Mool, it’s sure to be a night that lives up to Gramatik’s personal ability to move from one musical genre to the next. His new light design, inspired by infamous physicist Nikola Tesla is sure to be a highlight of this blowout. He was kind enough to take a few minutes away from his busy schedule to talk to Listen Up Denver! about the tour, his musical influences, and about his philosophy of giving away all of his music for free to fans. -
Primus – November 3rd – The Fillmore Auditorium
Posted on November 9, 2012 | No CommentsPrimus has hit a lot of ears over the past 20 some odd years, and all types of folks packed the Fillmore last Saturday to see their favorite band in 3D sight and 4D sound. The crowd instantly reacted to the first couple notes of each song, and it was clear just how deep this band fan base goes. Bald Eagles and bubbles floated over the heads of the crowd on the Fillmore floor while Les Claypool’s bass hit us like a tidal wave. Primus is rock, they’re metal, they’re dark, and they’re funky. Primus is intense. “Primus Sucks.” -
Beats Antique – October 27th – The Fillmore Auditorium
Posted on October 31, 2012 | No CommentsBeats Antique and Halloween were made for each other as both offer the chance to shed the normalcy of our society and let your freak flag fly. Colfax and the downtown area was overflowing with costumed people and excitement was at a fever pitch as the crowd approached The Fillmore. The Saturday night line-up offered a broad array of music from Dubstep to Hip-Hop to the eclectic grooves and beautifully mystical sounds of Beats Antique. -
Grace Potter & The Nocturnals – October 26th – The Fillmore
Posted on October 31, 2012 | No CommentsIf you combine Grace Potter's decade of touring, the fact that she just happens to be blessed by the hand of god with a fine physical appearance, and her balance of raw and soulful vs.radio friendly songs, well, she can pull just about anybody out to a show and she proved that on Friday night at The Fillmore with the turnout and the diversity of the crowd. All ages and all walks of life came out for various reasons, but everyone wanted to get down...and we did just that. All damn night. -
Rise Against – September 24th – The Fillmore Auditorium
Posted on October 2, 2012 | No CommentsOn a rainy Monday night last week, Rise Against assaulted a roomful of rabid fans at The Fillmore with a sound that straddled the line between Metal and Alterative. They blasted the crowd with images of political symbolism on giant LED screens and lead singer Tim McIlrath kept the crowd in the palm of his hand as he used the entire stage to dance, jump, and scream. Was it really a true "Punk" show? We aren't so sure about that, but there is no doubt it was a high quality concert extravaganza! -
PICK OF THE WEEK: JJ Grey & Mofro with Toots & The Maytals – April 13th – The Fillmore
