This is kind of like the showdown in Anchorman when all the news teams collide for an ultimate battle royale. The brilliant kids over at Pedestrian for letting us in on the 8-bit video game where the premise has Daft Punk collecting stolen samples that Justice has used over the years. You can play the…

Gomez Adds Tour Dates
Gomez is out promoting their new album, A New Tide, and as I reported earlier, the UK band will be playing Denver @ the Mile High Music Festival, amongst other festivals and new tour dates! The album is a grower and as long as I have been a fan, nine years, I have never seen…
Hecuba
Los Angelino duo, Hecuba, is churning out tunes that mix Herbert, Hercules & Love Affair, and Hot Chip. Alex, I would like to choose the category, “Bands that start with H”! All we’re missing is Health or Hot Hot Heat for good measure. In even better news, the duo will be supporting Bat for Lashes…

Happy Easter / Feliz Pàscoa !
Peanuts always put a smile on my face, and why not on Easter. For the first time in many years, I will actually be attending an Easter play this morning that brings me back to church after not going for many years. Nothing like some live animals and pyrotechnics to get me back into the…
Westword Music Showcase
The headliners have been released for this year’s Westword Music Showcase June 13th. This year may actually be my first ever going. I’m crossing fingers, but I’m always out of town the week they have the doggone thing. Built to Spill, Mudhoney, the Fluid, and Meese. Not bad…. Built to Spill-Goin’ Against Your Mind [mp3]…
Brightblack Morning Light
The Psych-Duo will be in charge of opening duties for My Bloody Valentine here in Denver and Seattle. Should be interesting. I’m wondering if I should drink my peyote now or just smoke it when I get to the Fillmore. (from matadorrecords Twitter-Brightblack Morning Light supporting My Bloody Valentine ; 4/24- Fillmore, Denver CO, 4/27…
Hot IQ’s R.I.P.
Every week, I get an email notifying me of upcoming concerts and one in particular read, “Hot IQ’s last Bluebird Show”. I thought it was kind of sketch, but didn’t decide to delve any deeper. Westword is reporting that group is dunzo. The trio was a fixture in the Denver scene and will be greatly…
Gregory Alan Isakov
Coloradoan (he’s really from South Africa, but for all intents and purposes, the guy rests his head to sleep here) is exploding with lots of great news. The punk folkie (he style was dubbed punk folk by the Indigo Girls) has a new album on the burner and a tour that starts with his album…

Their forthcoming album , Red, is slated to be released Sept. 1st and you can catch your first glimpse of their material below. The video draws from inspirations from Romeo and Juliet to West Side Story,…
