From Open Mic night to editor’s pick, Mathias Olson has come along way to find himself on the beat of The Crooked Streets. The band formed in 2011 when the singer/songwriter decided to take his solo project to the next level. Three years and several craigslist ads later, he now fronts the five-piece Denver Indie Folk band that many locals have come to love. Their crooning gypsy sound is gritty but has a certain charm–the shabby chic sort of feel that is so common of the great modern Indie Folk groups of our time.

Saturday night Summit Music Hall hosted Alvin Risk, the young Producer and DJ who has quickly ascended the ranks within the EDM scene with his genre-bending sound, combining and overlapping Dub Step, Drum’n’Bass, Moombaton, and Electrohouse with a wide range of vocal samples — amazingly, he pulls it off and he does it with a certain panache that is unmistakable. He did not fall short in his delivery; it was an awesome show, and though the crowd was sparse, this is not the last we will see of Alvin Risk, not by a long shot.

The air was thick with anticipation last Saturday at Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom as the venue filled up early for round two of the M&Ms, a “Super Group” forged by the hands of Stanton Moore and Robert Mercurio (Galactic), John Medeski (Medeski Martin and Wood) and Papa Mali (7 Walkers). The collaboration of amazing artists turned out a solid slice of the Big Easy on Friday, leaving fans excited for another funky dance party.

The Glitch Mob returned to the Fillmore Auditorium for the second of their two night stand in Denver on Saturday. With a set list that blended new and old and an impressive stage production, the trip delivered a powerful and consummate performance. Though the group seems to have re-branded themselves with a slightly edgier Industrial sound, the product was well presented and fairly mixed with their older material, pleasing fans of all ages.

Fans old and new came out to the Summit Music Hall to glimpse the DJ stylings of legendary EDM producer Nighmares on Wax. The crowd was nicely varied and in great spirits; the music was chill, groovy and fairly well received, but was also somewhat lackluster, maybe because it was Thursday, and maybe because the headlining act did not go on until 12:30am. Good vibes, indeed. Not crazy, hyper dance party vibes. But good vibes.

The crowd was fittingly bizarre at the Ogden Theatre last Friday as fans old and new made their way in the doors for Zappa Plays Zappa. The late musical genius Frank Zappa is remembered for his off-beat sound, insanely intricate songwriting and preposterously hilarious lyrics. On Friday Dweezil Zappa and his band covered his father’s ‘Roxy & Elsewhere’ album in its entirety. The performance included theatrical elements, an array of musical instruments and talent, and a whole lot of perplexing lyrics–it was a perfect homage to Frank Zappa.

The line wrapped all the way around the Fillmore Auditorium early on Saturday as Lotus fans made their way to the second show of the band’s two-night run in Denver. Despite some discord about the show’s early set times, it was a great concert. Lotus has a special way of letting their Colorado fans how much they enjoy their company, and they delivered all that on more on Saturday. It was a truly “spiritualizing” evening; one that will certainly be remembered by local fans for years to come.

The kids packed into the Bluebird for RJD2’s sold-out show last Friday, the first in a two night run. The DJ/Producer out of Philadelphia, PA has been perfecting his art since 1993 and is something of a genius when it comes to managing his music. Often show-goers scoff at DJs for their “talents” (aka pushing buttons). To be sure, there were no utterances of this nature during RJ’s performance on Friday as he danced between several turntables and various sound making consoles, proving that without a doubt, not all DJs were created equal.

Passion Pit “Special DJ Set” – January 25th – Summit Music Hall

The Summit Music Hall filled to a healthy level fairly early last Saturday as fans of Massachusetts-based Indietronica group Passion Pit gathered to see what their “Special DJ Set” was all about. Unfortunately, the set, which consisted of two members of the group DJing, fell short on many fans’ expectations–an evening of Deep House is hardly what someone sees when they read the words “Passion Pit Special DJ Set” on a ticket. The music was great if you are into House music, but in some way, the whole evening seemed to be a bit of a ruse.
