Club night and rave fliers tend to be…not elegant. Loud, crass, busy and clumsy are the rule of the day. Ugly, even. So it’s nice and refreshing when you see one that’s simple, clean and appealing, such as this week’s top flier pick for Jump Start, a monthly disco and…
Glitch Mob, which released its debut, Drink the Sea, this past spring, is slated to perform at the Fillmore Auditorium on Halloween night, Sunday, October 31. In August, the electronic trio also teamed up with MishkaNYC to release Drink The Sea Part 2: The Mixtape, which can be downloaded here…
Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom may have changed owners last fall, but things are clearly still kicking at the venue, and there’s still plenty of music in the streets. Last year, before changing hands Cervantes’ hosted the Dancing In the Streets, a three-day festival that took place at 26th and Welton…
This week’s flier is a testament to getting a lot of mileage out of very few elements. In the flier for Impact, a new weekly night at Milk Bar for bass-loving dance music aficionados, there’s not a lot going on. No crazy dinosaur or giant ape images to catch the…
While last week’s big announcement included Phish’s three-night stand at the 1STBANK Center, a number of other shows were recently announced, most which are on are sale now.

Ah, looks like we’re finally going to get around to screening Oddsac, Animal Collective’s twisted take on cinema verite (see trailer after the jump), thanks to the lovely chaps from Analog Space and their esteemed counterparts at Research & Development, who will be treating us all to a night of…
For this week’s top flier, the legs have it. Four hypnotic, abstracted sets of them, like a mannequin-esque nightmare that erupts after a night of too much cough syrup and too many Robert Palmer videos — but in a good way. The key word here is synergy. The legs themselves…
After a supporting slot on Lupe Fiasco’s tour earlier this year, B.o.B. will be making his return to the area for a date at the Boulder Theater on Saturday, October 9, followed by a show at the Ogden Theatre on Sunday, October 10. Tickets for the Boulder show, which are…

There are millions of ways to make music in the world — and that’s exactly what the Playground Ensemble and the Front Range Soundpainters are counting on.

So, turns out, Pavement may not be as popular in Denver as once suspected. While initially this notion is admittedly somewhat deflating, this is actually great news if you’re a fan of the band: We just received word that the Pavement show, originally slated to take place on Thursday, September…
Just a year after taking over the Oriental Theater, the owners of 3 Kings Tavern have thrown in the towel and put the historic, 700-person venue at 4335 West 44th Avenue up for sale. Jim Norris, one of those owners — and now also part-owner of the new Rockaway Tavern…
This was one of those occasional weeks where the second we saw this flier, we knew we had our pick. Don’t get us wrong — we still did the homework and looked at every flier we could find, online and off. And, to be honest, there were enough great fliers…
Update, 10/25/10: Read the review from this past weekend’s show at 1STBANK Center.

This week’s flier caught our eye a few days ago, since the main image of it is Adam Reker’s cover art for the new St. Elias CD Altered Beast. It’s a CD cover! It’s a flier! And if you go to the CD release show this Friday at the hi-dive…
Indie troubadour Sufjan Stevens, who’s set up a month-long fall tour that will include some of the country’s most historic theaters and venues, is set to visit the Paramount Theatre on Tuesday, November 2.

Tonight, Thursday, August 5, Quixote’s True Blue — that’s the place to be if you love local hip-hop. Presented by Yoseph of Fly Magazine, Dent and Shedrick Garrett, #COHIPHOP Unity Concert 2 is going down. The aim, as you’ve probably deduced from the name of the event, is to bring…
Oh, man, it’s about to get all sorts of dumb over at Gallery 22 on Saturday afternoons. Just heard that the Radio Bums crew is taking over the patio from 1-6 p.m. for The Radio Bums Hangout. If the flier is to be believed the Bums will be throwing down…
