The War On Drugs – October 10th – Ogden Theatre

Estimated read time 3 min read

Adam Granduciel (aka The War On Drugs) took the stage on Friday night before a packed house at The Ogden Theatre and dazzled the crowd with a set that included nearly every song on his stand-out recent release ‘Lost In The Dream.’ Not only did they recreate the layers and atmospheric sounds that are so pervasive on the record, but they pushed the songs to the limit with extended jams and Granduciel’s guitar solos.

Revenge of the 90’s III – March 30th – Cervantes’

Estimated read time 6 min read

The 90’s were back in full force on Saturday night at Cervates’ as J2G Live threw their annual 90’s Night party with some of the best musicians in Denver doing the heavy lifting. There were tons of costumes that confused the best of 80’s fashion (Neon) with the best of 90’s (Flannel) and a ton of girls even got their hair crimped for the occasion. It was great to see people getting so into the spirit of the party and it was clear that 90’s Night grabbed a firm foothold in the Denver music scene in it’s third year.

Last week, thousands of Comic-Con faithful, metalheads, frat boy rock fans, and other interested observers descended on Red Rocks when Tenacious D brought their tunes and live band to the famed amphitheater.

Ah, classic rock, it just has this way of bringing people together. Last Thursday the 1stBank Center was a melting pot of Denver demographics as couples in their 50’s jammed in next to guys in their 20’s along the rail right in front of Tom Petty’s mic stand to hear him sing classics like “Refugee,” “Here Comes My Girl,” and “Free Fallin’.” It was a testament to the longevity of this 61 year old rocker and his band that even after all these years, he is bringing new fans to the party while he keeps the older ones coming back for more.

Estimated read time 7 min read

Dave Grohl and his band mates exploded onto the Pepsi Center stage to a deafening roar just a few minutes past nine and launched right into “Bridge Burning,” the opening track of their most recent album, Wasting Light and they didn’t slow down for more than 2 and half hours. Was it the best show ever, no, clearly not, but it was entertaining. It was a true arena rock show that took advantage of the space and the considerable resources that were available.
