Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band | Onward! | Review

What’s in a name? For a band, a lot. A band’s name often gives a descriptor to their image, something that can vaguely sum up what the band is all about. The Beach Boys wrote songs about being on the beach. The Allman Brothers were a band made up of brothers named Allman. Aerosmith…I’ll get… Continue reading Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band | Onward! | Review

In October 1978, The Grateful Dead played its final run of shows at The Winterland Ballroom, the ice-skating-rink-cum-hallowed-home-court for San Francisco’s “home-team” band. After promoter Bill Graham converted Winterland into a full-time music venue in 1971, The Dead played a total of eight runs (three or more shows in a row) at Winterland and chose… Continue reading Dark Star Orchestra | Fox Theater | Boulder | 10/18/13 | Review

Dark Star Orchestra | Fox Theater | Boulder | 10/20/13 | Review

Fans of the Grateful Dead will continue to seek that special feeling their music brought for 30 years, though the group disbanded eighteen years ago. Bassist Phil Lesh recently announced for all practical purposes that he is retiring from touring, sticking to his Terrapin Crossroads locale with occasional exceptions. Though the other living members of… Continue reading Dark Star Orchestra | Fox Theater | Boulder | 10/20/13 | Review

The Bad Plus | Oriental Theatre | Denver, CO | 10/19/13 | Review

Even avant-garde jazz needs structure. A boundless exploration of less touched musical realms still needs some foundation to stand on. Certain jazz purists don’t even consider fusion, free, or Avant-garde to be true jazz. I stand somewhere in between. The music of Miles Davis, Joe Zawinul, and Ornette Coleman is as canonical as Duke Ellington… Continue reading The Bad Plus | Oriental Theatre | Denver, CO | 10/19/13 | Review

Ani DiFranco | Boulder Theater | 10/13/2013 | Review and Photos

Ani DiFranco is a badass. Since early in her life she has chosen to be a leader against the conventional. At fifteen she legally chose to live on her own. At nineteen she began her own record label—Righteous Babe Records—in order to avoid the grasp of mainstream companies. And throughout her career, she has been… Continue reading Ani DiFranco | Boulder Theater | 10/13/2013 | Review and Photos

Les Claypool Duo De Twang | Fox Theatre | 10/10/13 | Review

For Les Claypool, image has never been an important part of being a god amongst bass players. He is the antithesis of image-orientation in rock music. The Claypool persona is obscurity. For years his live performances muffled any sense of ordinary human interaction. Pig and Ape masks would obscure his face. If not a mask… Continue reading Les Claypool Duo De Twang | Fox Theatre | 10/10/13 | Review
