Estimated read time 3 min read

Denver’s Five Points was the Jazz Mecca of the American West from the 20’s to the mid 50’s. Back then Welton Street was the place to be, with its clubs featuring musical greats like Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday. Promoting a theory of the avant-garde, Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom and Cervantes’ Other Side strive to help the Five Points neighborhood reclaim its former glory and events like last Saturday’s shameless dance party with Juno What?! that have once again begun to expand the boundaries of Denver’s live music experience.

Estimated read time 3 min read

The Hi-Dive was packed on Wednesday night when we walked in with pretty high expectations for a mind blowing show. To be honest it didn’t quite live up to all the hype.

I have one word for you Mr. Rose: “Edit.”

Perhaps an Irish American Punk band like Flogging Molly has never been more relevant than now as the Occupy Movement fills the nightly news coverage. Founded in Los Angeles in 1997, Flogging Molly infuses punk rock with Celtic instruments, and they merge blues progressions with grinding guitars and traditional Irish music. The bands 2010 release “Speed of Darkness” is filled with odes to the working man and battle cries against the elite establishment.
