The focus of our Local Shakedown series is to provide a documentary-style behind-the-scenes look at various band's experiences on the radio show, but this often means we don't show the whole on-air performance in those particular videos. From time to time, Concerted Effort will be digging back into our archives to share some of the previously unreleased performance footage in the form of the live performance music video series Local Shakedown Extra.

This video features unreleased footage from Young Pharaohs' on-air performance back in June 29. If you caught the Local Shakedown documentary, the band spoke of performing three songs, which you can hear in its entirety via the Local Shakedown blog. This video features the on-air version of "White Shadows", a song that comes from Young Pharaohs' album by the same name available here. Check back soon for more Local Shakedown episodes (Hindershot is up next), and more unreleased footage from Local Shakedown Extra.

This time we took the trip to Radio 1190 with Denver's Rubedo. Starting at their D.I.Y. venue Unit E, get a glimpse of the personalities and philosophies that make up this band. Catch a behind the scenes look of what it's like to be on Radio 1190's Local Shakedown, and watch Rubedo's performance unfold. From our experience, we can say that Rubedo is an incredible band to catch live, and if you haven't done so or been wondering when you can see them again, they'll be performing at Colorado Music Buzz' Higher Ground Festival which takes place August 24-26.

For a while now, Radio 1190's Local Shakedown has been a great outlet for Denver's vibrant local scene. Every Friday from 4PM-6PM, the radio show delivers a well curated mixture of Denver's best home grown music to its station's listeners. To sweeten the deal, Local Shakedown often brings in bands to do live performances in studio and on broadcasts them on air.


This episode features Young Pharaohs, who narrowly made it to Boulder in time for their show due to unexpected problems with their converted school/tour bus. Thanks to their determination and a little generosity from those at Radio 1190, Young Pharaohs were able to get in and out with amazing quickness. Check out how it all went down in this video. You can listen to their on air performance in its entirety at Local Shakedown's website
