In most cases, a band with siblings merely plays out as an interesting footnote to a band’s biography, save for the instance where one sibling is trying to stab the other, or if plums are being thrown. Luckily, no disgruntled fruit was spotted anywhere near the Hi-Dive last Tuesday when The Staves made their first appearance in Denver to play most of their debut album, ‘Dead & Born & Grown.’ Their completely and utterly seamless vocals and self-deprecating humor endeared them to the small but appreciative audience very quickly.

Their ability to blend an authentic and road-weary, brown-boot Americana feel with a driving rock edge makes their sound ear candy for a large group of music lovers in Colorado and beyond.

The Hi-Dive has always been one of the go-to venues in Denver for independent music, and the South Broadway staple continues to live up to it’s reputation. Hipster girls in sweaters and glasses a bit too big for their faces shuffled their slouched boots across the well worn floor while plaid shirt wearing boys rocked out to the sometimes heavy sounds of a couple of Denver’s best Indie bands, and a couple that you definitely will be hearing more about.

Midtown Dickens uses traditional instruments to pull the history out of the Southern soil on which they were formed, and spread the seeds of roots music all over the country. All of the band’s members grew up in North Carolina and their roots run deep having absorbed music from family, friends, and Harry Smith’s Anthology of American Folk Music. The instruments may be traditional, but the collective world view of the band and the way the music is being presented is not. Listen Up Denver!….this is Midtown Dickens.

Strange Americans have created a smoldering sound that is a well thought out blend of Alt-Country, Indie Rock, and Americana, by cherry picking some of the best elements of acclaimed acts like Ryan Adams, My Morning Jacket, and The Band, to influence their songwriting. Earlier this week they were kind enough to take some time to answer our 20 Questions as they prepped for a big show on Friday night at The Hi-Dive with a couple of our other favorite local acts, Mosey West and Grub Street Writer.

Mosey West, it’s a great name for a band from Colorado isn’t it? The name imparts the feeling of the easy going, laid back kind of lifestyle that Colorado is famous for. The kind of life where things matter, but nothing except friends, family, music, and maybe an afternoon nap, matter too much. These three guys create music that echoes the images their name conjures up. So, sit back, take a listen to their new single and learn a little about Mosey West before you mosey on about the rest of your day.

There is one single word to describe the Radiohead show that took place on Tuesday night at the 1stBank Center, and that word is “Wow!” Since they played Red Rocks almost 10 years ago, we have been eagerly awaiting their return as they are capable of putting on one of the best live shows on the planet. To say we went into the show on Tuesday with high expectations is an understatement. We went into the show EXPECTING to have our minds blown, and you know what . . . Radiohead delivered!
