Deer Tick – April 4th – The Gothic Theatre
Posted on April 9, 2013 | 1 CommentDeer Tick rolled through town last week and played to a packed house at The Gothic Theatre down in Englewood. Despite the fact that they were missing their rhythm section, the band soldiered on a trio and thrilled the crowd with set that was a little bit more Country than it was Rock-n-Roll. Deer Tick is known for wild shows, and last week's set at The Gothic didn't disappoint. Local rockers The Knew opened the night with every ounce of the passion and fervor they are known for. -
Faceman, The Knew & The Outfit – December 14th – The Hi-Dive
Posted on December 26, 2012 | No CommentsThe Hi-Dive has always been one of the go-to venues in Denver for independent music, and the South Broadway staple continues to live up to it's reputation. Hipster girls in sweaters and glasses a bit too big for their faces shuffled their slouched boots across the well worn floor while plaid shirt wearing boys rocked out to the sometimes heavy sounds of a couple of Denver's best Indie bands, and a couple that you definitely will be hearing more about. -
20 Questions With Strange Americans
Posted on September 26, 2012 | No CommentsStrange Americans have created a smoldering sound that is a well thought out blend of Alt-Country, Indie Rock, and Americana, by cherry picking some of the best elements of acclaimed acts like Ryan Adams, My Morning Jacket, and The Band, to influence their songwriting. Earlier this week they were kind enough to take some time to answer our 20 Questions as they prepped for a big show on Friday night at The Hi-Dive with a couple of our other favorite local acts, Mosey West and Grub Street Writer. -
These United States & The Knew – September 13th – The Hi-Dive
Posted on September 20, 2012 | No CommentsSporting impressive beards, day-old flannel and t-shirts, and friendly smiles, The Knew and These United States set up shop last Thursday night to play music in front of a faithful crowd at The Hi-Dive. The audience of mostly twenty-something Denverites seemed anxious to hear some good music and weren't necessarily interested in a cold beer or a flirty conversation. In the late hours of the night, when the lights came up, the bands looked and felt more like old friends of ours than performers. -
The Knew – Man Monster
Posted on August 23, 2012 | No CommentsAt moments recalling huge "Indie" pop bands like The Killers and The Stokes, while clearly drawing inspiration from giants of the 70's like The Stones and The Clash, Denver's The Knew have crafted an album of infectiously gritty guitar laced pop songs that should find their way onto every good jukebox in the country and fuel those late night sing-alongs that gradually fade-in as a hazy memory over a strong cup of coffee on Sunday mornings. -
PICK OF THE WEEK: Faceman’s Waltz – February 3rd – The Bluebird
Posted on January 30, 2012 | 1 CommentFaceMan's Waltz is a celebration of both the Denver music scene and the band's second full-length album titled "FeedingTime." Since the band's beginning in 2008, FaceMan has developed a reputation of delivering entertaining live shows that combine original music and videos with an emotional performance. FaceMan is a band that seeks out every opportunity to collaborate with other musicians and, in the tradition of The Band's Last Waltz, they have invited some of Denver's finest to share the stage at the second annual Waltz. -
