The last time The Devil Makes Three came through Denver they sold-out the relatively tiny Larimer Lounge and this time around, despite the unseasonably cold temperatures outside, the Bluebird Theatre was packed to the rafters. Energy was coursing through the room as this rowdy Saturday night crowd showed they were ready for some high energy Gypsy-Blues-Punk.

Our friends in Greensky Bluegrass were kind enough to take some time out of an idyllic afternoon during Yonder Mountain String Band’s Kinfolk Celebration at Planet Bluegrass in August to play a two song acoustic set exclusively for Listen Up Denver!, Marquee Magazine, and a few friends. Here’s an incredible cover of Springsteen’s “Atlantic City” that pays tribute to The Band’s version while still seeming fresh and original.

Our friends in Greensky Bluegrass were kind enough to take some time out of an idyllic afternoon last Saturday at Planet Bluegrass to play a two song acoustic set exclusively for Listen Up Denver!, Marquee Magazine, and a few friends. We sorta tucked ourselves in along the river behind the stage, rolled tape, and them do their thing. The first song we are releasing is a great new song called “Leap Year.”

At moments recalling huge “Indie” pop bands like The Killers and The Stokes, while clearly drawing inspiration from giants of the 70’s like The Stones and The Clash, Denver’s The Knew have crafted an album of infectiously gritty guitar laced pop songs that should find their way onto every good jukebox in the country and fuel those late night sing-alongs that gradually fade-in as a hazy memory over a strong cup of coffee on Sunday mornings.

Michael Kiwanuka may not be a name you are familiar with, or you may have just heard your friends rave about his show at The Bluebird last week, but once his music hits your ears, you won’t forget the name of this British musician with African roots. When Kiwanuka strummed the final note of a song, the audience gave a polite pause to make sure he was done, and then whistled, cheered and clapped at a volume we didn’t expect for a Tuesday night show.

Monophonics sits on the fuzzy psych side of Soul and Funk and over the past seven years they have staked their claim as one of California’s premier bands. Raised amid the Bay Area’s rich musical culture, Monophonics have proudly carried on the tradition of music native to their hometown which flourished during the birth of psychedelia. Paying homage to innovators such as Sly Stone, Norman Whitfield and Funkedelic’s George Clinton, the 6 piece outfit displays their ability to put a moody stamp on each composition.

The DJ Logic show at The Bluebird Theatre last Friday had all the elements of a near perfect night in the Denver music scene. There was enough room to dance, the energy was through the roof, and the spontaneous and tight jamming that fueled the party was mind boggling. The creative juices flowing from the stage soaked the audience as the room pulsated with beats straight from the turntable and improvisational sounds straight from the gut. What would have made this near perfect night perfect? If they had played till the break of day.

Perpetual Groove wears a lot of hats when it comes to the musical styles they blend, and fans of all those styles were represented in the crowd that filled The Bluebird on Friday. People who love Electronica and synthesized sounds, Indie Rock, jammy improvisation, Funk and Southern Roots Rock all came out to see them blended together. The room was filled with an overwhelming vibe of happiness and just plain cool as longtime fans came out to see this “definitive” PGroove lineup reunite for a truly great show.
