Starting on Tuesday, February 16, Jazzmatazz Lounge (1612 East 17 Avenue), which has offered live jazz on the weekends since it opened in November, will begin featuring live music Tuesdays through Saturdays. Piano jazz happy hours will run from 6 to 8 p.m., and bands will play from 8:30 p.m…
Retired Lipgloss resident and co-founder Tyler Jacobson is launching a brand new night at Paris Wine Bar (1549 Platte Street) called Split, a name chosen presumably as nod to yet another bygone Brit band. The new monthly, which kicks off on Saturday, February 20, will be helmed by Jacobson and…
If M.C. Escher was into doing collage, we think he might come up with something a lot like this week’s flier of the week. The bizarre, impossible geometry and wash of colors of the main image is eye catching, as a good flier should be. But it’s the weird little…
Quite a few shows announced this week that will be going on sale this weekend: The Black Eyed Peas, who just added another trio of Grammys to the three they already have, bring their E.N.D. World Tour to the Pepsi Center on Saturday, March 27. Ludacris and LMFAO open the…
UPDATE: Slayer and Megadeth have rescheduled the Denver date of their American Carnage tour. Look for both acts at Magness arena on August 25. Bad news if you had your heart set on being deafened by this wall of amps in a few weeks. The American Carnage tour, due at…
Denver’s roller derby leagues are on the move. The Rocky Mountain Rollergirls, who formerly bouted (that’s what you call a roller-derby-off) at the Bladium Sports and Fitness Club in Stapleton, just announced that they’re moving to the downtown Fillmore Auditorium, in partnership with Live Nation. Their first bout will be…
Bad news for those hoping to relive the ’90s this weekend at the Ogden Theatre. We’ve just received word that Open Wings and Broken Strings, the traveling time capsule tour featuring Eddie Kowalczyk of Live, Art Alexakis of Everclear and Leigh Nash of Sixpence None the Richer, slated for a…
This week’s top flier rode into that slot on a wave of nostalgia (and indigestion). That image of a classic TV dinner poked us deep int he subconscious and stirred up memories of being plunked down in front of the old boob tube in our youth, served up with Swanson’s…
Country sensation Jason Aldean, who has been selling out arenas on his Wide Open tour, visits the Odeum Colorado Thursday, March 18. Aldean’s “Big Green Tractor” single spent four weeks at the number one spot on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart and has been certified gold. Reserved seats run $33.75…
Brace yourself: We just learned that Nick Jonas — he of the Jonas Brothers fame — has canceled his show this evening at the Paramount. Jonas is reportedly under the weather. If you purchased tix through TicketHorse on your credit card, you can sit tight. An automatic refund is headed…
Star Bar, one of the state’s classic dives at 2137 Larimer Street, has gone dark to due to a liquor violation by the Denver Department of Excise and Licenses. No word on yet on when it will re-open…
After a decade-long run, it appears that one of Denver’s biggest hip-hop clubs has closed its doors. At least that’s what we gather from this sign, which was posted in the window this afternoon when we drove by. Formerly the Blake Street Baseball Club and then the LoDo Music Hall,…
Did you catch Daughtry’s New Year’s Eve performance? We saw a clip, and the dude, who apparently gets mistaken for Vin Diesel a lot, has facial hair and eyebrows that kind of look like they were drawn on his face with Sharpie. Seems a little distracting if you ask us,…
You see this kids? This flier for Ballistics, a dubstep party with Eprom and Hulk, is a near-perfect design. Every element is strong. It’s a great image. The color scheme is awesome. The carefully constructed logo is bold and memorable without being flashy or overdone. The textual elements are both…
Fucking A. Ask and ye shall receive, eh? (Well, it’s not Denver, but close enough.) Just glimpsed the lineup for this year’s Coachella. As far as headliners go, you’ve got your Jay-Z and your LCD Soundsystem and, uh, let’s see here, Thom Yorke and … yada, yada, yada. Whatever, dude…
Today, AEG kicked off its Early Bird Ticket program where folks can save some bucks by buying the concert tickets the weekend they go on sale. The deals are being offered for select shows at the Bluebird Theater and Ogden Theatre, and there are no service fees for cash purchases…
This week we had lots of fine material to choose from, but this flier stood out even among the wonderfully crowded field of great images and cool design. We’re not too sure what, if anything, the image is supposed to represent — is it a circuit diagram? cell mitosis? what…
Band of Horses recently finished recording a new album, Night Rainbow, which the act has been playing songs from at shows since. While there’s still no word on when the disc will be issued, chances are better than good that the band will be playing new material when it hits…
For those who’ve always wanted to party like an NBA star (sans the guns and indecipherable card games) but couldn’t dunk anything but a doughnut, tomorrow night is your chance to live the dream: Suite 200, the swanky LoDo hot spot, will host Lebron James after his Cavs play the…
They came from the deep … to rock. Our top flier of the week gets extra cool points for appropriating the lobby poster art for the incredibly odd, unbelievably obscure 1980 movie Humanoids from the Deep, which is also as Monster. It just so happens that some of us have…
Although New York-based indie act Vampire Weekend isn’t releasing its highly anticipated sophomore effort, Contra, for another week, NPR is streaming the entire album until it hits the stores on Tuesday, January 12. Touring in support of the album, the band will trek across the UK and Europe in February…
New Year’s Eve is just around the corner and we have to say, the slew of excellent posters we saw advertising equally excellent events for the evening (and the next day) bode well for the new year. After some careful consideration we chose this lovely poster for the Motet’s NYE…
