Arcade Fire lit up the Pepsi Center with one of the most energetic shows of the year. Despite the fact that the arena was vastly undersold, the band poured their heart and souls into a two hour performance that touched on all eras of their 16 year career. Staged in a boxing ring at the center of the floor, Win Butler and crew opened the show with the Disco laced title track from their most recent album, and the show took off from there. Arcade Fire has always been a powerfully unique band to see live, and this tour proved to be no exception.

One would expect to find a Burning Man centered universe amid the feather boas and body odor last Wednesday night. In fact, this world was not the middle of the desert but the Gothic Theatre for none other than Tribal Electro-Pop band tUnE-yArDs and opener up-and-coming Sylvan Esso. The coupling of these two acts on a still Colorado night set a very high bar for approaching summer shows.

Last Wednesday, Arcade Fire fans turned the Pepsi Center into a Masquerade Ball of monster proportions. For the 10 thousand or so that turned out, it was clear they had been waiting for the evening for a long time. Thousands of fans were decked out in their best formal attire and costumes as the band had requested on the ticket and in the end it made for a much more festive night and proved to the doubters that Arcade Fire fans can dress to impress.

The mid-western transplants came out in droves Friday night to see Trampled by Turtles (TBT) at The Ogden. The Duluth based folk-bluegrass band is touring on their new album, “Stars and Satellites” and the sold-out crowd sported their Minnesota Twins hats, overalls, and plaid – lots and lots of plaid. The beer lines were long, and the crowd had a nice buzz before the opener even hit the stage. The atmosphere had a collective excitement about it you only find at Friday night shows and the band delivered raging and precisely played show.
