Electron Comes To Colorado For A Four Night Dance Party: Attendance Is A Necessary Act
Electron has landed in CO for a four night, electronic dance and Rock party in Ft Collins, Boulder, Frisco and Denver. Before the madness began, Listen Up Denver! had the pleasure of speaking with founder and bassist Marc Brownstein, of The Disco Biscuits fame, about how this project started, what it is that makes Electron so fun to see, and what his plans are for early in 2015.

Joe Russo Talks Furthur, The Grateful Dead, and “Almost Dead”
We had the pleasure of talking with Furthur drummer Joe Russo about this weekend’s Colorado shows with Joe Russo’s Almost Dead as well as some of his other recent and upcoming projects and collaborations. In part one of this two part piece we touch on how JRAD started as a fresh take on the classic Grateful Dead song catalog, the transformative experience Russo has gone through since immersing himself into the world of The Grateful Dead, and his place in the lone line of potential torchbearers of that music.

Hall & Oates – March 3rd – 1stBank Center
A healthy mix of young and old shuffled into the 1stBank Center on Monday night to soak in the smooth sounds of Pop icons Daryl Hall and John Oates. The hits kept coming all night and no one was disappointed. With over 30 of their songs to reach the Billboard Top 100 (6 to reach #1), the soon-to-be Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees delighted the crowd with a stellar 90 minute set that proved they are anything but a nostalgia act; they are one of the great songwriting tandems in rock history.

Saxophone legend Branford Marsalis joined the Colorado Symphony and we found out that in this tumultuous era of digital dominance that there is peace in the analog world of the CO Symphony where things like dynamics, musical excellence, and purity of sonics are fundamental. Who knew that the freshest show in town is also the oldest? Do yourself a favor, go sit in the best room in Denver and see the Symphony soon!

Furthur – September 20th – Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Red Rocks in September is an unpredictable place for the weather and it seems like shows go later and later into the Fall season each year. Furthur has embraced this trend and has made late September theirs; this year playing a 4-night run of shows. This year the Friday night show proved the former members of the Grateful Dead are still stalwarts of an industry where you’re only as good as your last sold-out show or successful tour. As a whole, the show was very well played, energetic, and fun as hell!

Electron – July 17th – The Fox Theatre
The Boulder Brahs were out in full force at The Fox last week and, combined with the usual Disco Biscuits faithful, a sizable crowd assembled considering it was a Wednesday night during summer break. The healthy mix of seasoned Bisco veterans, uninitiated noobs, and your average Boulder concert goer looking for a good time helped set the stage for a night of amazing music.

Furthur – February 22nd – 1stBank Center
Grateful Dead founders Bob Weir and Phil Lesh laid siege on the Colorado Front Range this past weekend with their band, Furthur. The 4-night run of shows started with a single, intimate performance at The Ogden Theatre in the heart of Denver, an extremely difficult ticket to obtain, and then moved up to the much larger 1st Bank Center in Broomfield where no one would be shut out. By all reports the run featured some great music.
