The girls of boygenius are no strangers to the stage. Although still in their twenties, Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus have been writing music and playing shows since their teens. All three artists have performed in front of Colorado fans since 2016, gracing stages at the likes of Lost Lake Lounge, Globe Hall, Bluebird Theatre, The Ogden, Mission Ballroom, and Red Rocks. Then, in 2018 that they joined as a band; united by a love for each other’s music coupled with their disgust with how “women in music” were defined and pitted against each other.

Taylor Swift’s Eras World Tour made its much-anticipated stop at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, and it was nothing short of a seismic event. Governor Polis penned an open letter to fans about the implications of 150,000 people descending on the downtown stadium as world leaders were begging Swift to visit their countries (and economies). As some of the lucky 73,000 attendees on the first night of the two-night extravaganza, we can confidently say that this was an experience of a lifetime for all the Taylor Swift fans who were able to secure tickets.

Santigold’s concert at the Denver Botanic Gardens on July 6th, 2023 (part of the annual Music at the Gardens series) was extraordinary, especially considering she sprained her ankle when she tripped over one of the kid’s toys just days before the show. Her unwavering spirit and passion for her craft were evident as her dancers helped her down the path, through the gathered crowd, and to the stage. They were following a man holding crutches.

As time passes, we lose more and more of the greats, so no matter what flaws the show might have had, it was still a privilege to see Nick Mason on stage bringing those classics to life. There will never be another Pink Floyd, so any piece that still exists must be held onto until the very end.

“He didn’t even puke!” That is not the response one expects to hear when chatting with a girl near the bar after a set. “Insane, right?” I was talking about a Viagra Boys set so wild it prompted a kid to do a backflip off the balcony into the crowd. “Amazing,” she replied, “he didn’t even puke!” Obviously, I wasn’t up on the latest Viagra Boys scoop, but evidently, the lead singer, Seb, is usually accompanied by a bucket on stage, just in case he needs to vomit between songs.

Broken Social Scene always seemed more like an idea than a traditional band. The Canadian collective was established as a gathering of like-minded artists in Toronto with a laissez-faire philosophy.

For the first half of the first decade of the 21st century, the unofficial leader of this “scene,” Kevin Drew, brought together no fewer than twenty musicians to release three Indie Rock albums considered canon.
