When in festivals, don't do as the festival-goer's do.  It can really be a testament of the human spirit if you are able to pace yourself and survive a multi-day festival.  Even the single-day festivals, like the Westword Music Showcase, can take down the most stout-at-heart music lover among us.  There is something about the excitement and the non-stop action

Last month's TheHundred party with Christian Martin Into its ninth month and showing no signs of slowing down, TheHundred is back again this weekend with another sure-to-be sweltering dance party, this time right at midsummer. They key to TheHundred's success thus far has been providing hot up-and-coming acts with local talent to create an atmosphere filled with good vibes

I may have just gotten back from the amazing marathon music weekend known as the Underground Music Showcase, but I'm ready to keep it going with another show at the Larimer Lounge tonight, especially with the lineup they have in store. Two innovative east coast imports share the headline, with a hot new local act getting the night of music started. Young Magic is trio composed

Bug bites, bruised shins, hair sticking to the back of your neck and wishing for a cool dip in any body of water that’s available but you’ll settle for a cold drink until then; that was my memories of summer break as a kid, and it’s funny that I get to relive those same experiences in small doses as a grown adult.

Tristen is a singer-songwriter, with a debut album under her belt and a song to share more than a year after its release. She calls Nashville home, and shares a record label (American Myth Recordings) with another buzzing songstress, Lissy Trullie.  Tristen is a fresh voice; it's something I noticed right away when I recently listened to Charlatans at the Garden Gate.

Holophrase, a local Denver rock band with a myriad of influences and an eclectic sound that leans towards experimental and progressive rock is releasing their new EP, Horizons of Expectation, tonight at the Hi-Dive. Although guitarists Luis Etscheid, Jared Henning, and drummer Caleb Henning played music together since they were in high school, the band didn't coalesce until

On Friday, July 6, ManCub will be rocking the Larimer Lounge once more, this time with Drop The Lime and Cassian on the bill.
