Running Rotten: Four Days on the Road with The Dollyrots

no@spam.com (David Pennington) — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 19:04:29 CDT

Those who work entry level jobs in Denver aren’t supposed to skip town in the night after consuming ten beers at the local dive. I was supposed to be in bed, resting for another day of the office grind. Instead, I was forgoing every possible responsibility for several days to travel halfway across the country a rock band.

Spotlight On: Gillian Grassie

no@spam.com (S.J. Dibai) — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 22:50:58 CDT

Gillian Grassie writes catchy, intellectually-stimulating pop and folk-rock songs. She sounds like a classically-trained opera singer trying her hand at jazz—and succeeding. She plays the harp.

February 28^th took me to the Three Kings Tavern on south Broadway in Denver. This is an end of town where the fetish shops outnumber the second-hand stores. This end of town is loaded down with pubs and taverns and a gritty feel which only serves as a magnet to the city's collection of trendy folk – not to mention the band of people looking to escape the norm..

Monday be damned, The Little Elmore Reed Blues Band is gonna have a good time. And, if you’re stopping by TC’s Lounge to join them, you don’t have a choice not to.

I�m not going to lie to you, The Liars did not disappoint.

New York post-punk/art rock band The Liars put together an impressive set on Saturday night at Mohawk. Though a tinge of hesitation lingered from front man Angus Andrew’s back injuries, he still managed to pull out all of his usual impressive stage antics.

I feel like I’m living in a time when so much integrity is lost in the music scene. Where’s the show? If you feel like I do, than The Theater Fire is the thing for you.

Living Better...Electrically.

Fashion Smashin'

Mohawk has lured me with beats I know are good, it’s time to hear the bands I’ve read about but never experienced. Namely ‘The Laughing’ and ‘Til We’re Blue or Destroy.'

Good Gawd: R5 Is Kickin' It With the Kids.

no@spam.com (Jessica Parker) — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 08:40:12 CST

In the spirit of true punk rock, there are no bouncers, no re-entry restrictions, no barriers, and no overpriced water bottles...Despite Clear Channel's attempts to take over Agnew's venues, R5 Productions remains true to its commitment to the indie scene.

Billy Martin & Calvin Weston Drum Duo

Simply put, Billy Martin and Calvin Weston redefine the rhythmic boundaries of drummers in their own right.

On a tuesday.

no@spam.com (Ramiro Castro) — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 08:20:10 CST

"It is hard to know where people are going to be on a Tuesday night." the cab driver said just before he dropped me off at Red Scoot Inn. I'd highly recommend if you're Tuesday nights are open, well hell even if they aren't, do yourself a favor by making time to support these great song writers. Red Scoot Inn has provided a steady stream of spirits serving as a railroad saloon since about 1871. You can find all you want to know about shows, history, and more at http://www.eastinns.com.
