What a difference 30 years makes. Below: the $3.20 ticket to see U2 in Denver in 1981, side-to-side with the $58 nosebleed ticket to see U2 this past Saturday at Invesco Field. To put this in perspective, if we counted for inflation, that $3.20 ticket would be about $7.58 today,…
Once upon a time, MTV played music videos, and a whole generation was introduced to Unsane (playing the Marquis Theater tonight with Clinging to the Trees of a Forest Fire) through “Scrape,” the trio’s film tribute to brutal skateboard take downs. Forming in 1988 and taking a short break in…

When we think of monthly electronic music series, we tend to assume they’ll follow a very specific theme throughout their existence. That’s not exactly the case with 187 Ultra, the new musical series being curated by Sole and Pictureplane at the hi-dive — although you could argue that eclecticism is…
