This spring, Collin Herring’s third album dropped. Its curious title, Past Life Crashing, is probably more indicative of what this talented young singer/songwriter has been about since his last release. Taking up guitar when he was in eighth grade, Herring has been using it to write songs about a variety of life experiences. It was… Continue reading Collin Herring's Own Past Life Crashing
It may not have been quite the British invasion like those of the Sex Pistols, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, or The Who, but The Kooks made quite an appearance at Thursday night’s show in downtown Denver at the Ogden Theatre. Presented by 97.3 KBCO, the station of “World Class Rock,” an older crowd of… Continue reading Koo Koo for The Kooks
True to the classic spirit of Rock and Roll, and a hard hitting member of the so-called rock revival movement, Super 400 have rediscovered the beauty and simplicity of the power trio.

The emerging popularity of jambands during that time has led to the inevtible crossover of the two genres, beginning with such pioneers as the Disco Biscuits. Today a flux of excellent live electronica,… Continue reading BoomBox Turns it up in Denver
It’s tragically easy to grow tired of modern pop music. Ever been to a show and wondered why the band stuck so rigidly to the formula already laid out on their studio albums? I have. Ever realized halfway through a performance that sounds you thought the band was making were prerecorded? I have. Ever turned… Continue reading The Raconteurs – The Loudest Thing in Pop Music: Day 3 of my Magical Mystery Weekend
On day 2 of my Magical Mystery Weekend I found myself somewhere I’d never been before – the shower. Wait, I mean Owsley’s Golden Road in Denver, Colorado. Exactly what a little venue in a big city should be, Owsley’s screams character from every angle. From the broke-ass stone edifice and multiple staging areas to… Continue reading Kimock, Vega, Molo, White, and Seals: Day 2 of my Magical Mystery Weekend
