Lettuce – May 14th – Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Estimated read time 1 min read

Stalwarts of the scene, Lettuce, showed up at Red Rocks last Friday to deliver their 3rd annual “Rage Rocks” to a rabid crowd. Ten men strong, the stage was full all night and got damn near crowded as the band invited some big name guests to the stage. Note worthy support was provided by Turkuaz, who brought everyone to their feet as soon as they took the stage. From the get-go the vibe in the venue had a fever like it must have when James Brown graced a stage; people just couldn’t help but get down!

New Orleans Suspects – March 14th – Cervantes’ Ballroom

Estimated read time 3 min read

While Cervantes’ Ballroom wasn’t packed Last Friday night, it was nice that there was room to dance, chat with friends between songs, and not have to swim through a sea of humanity just to make it to the bar. The 20 somethings had packed The Other Side for Twiddle so it was a bit of an older crowd who danced the night away to Americana courtesy of a retooled Great American Taxi and some New Orleans Funk from New Orleans Suspects.
