If anyone gave himself vocal lessons by listening to old David Bowie, it has to be Argentine born Diego Garcia, who is known to have soaked up the ‘70s glam rock of Iggy Pop and MC5 when he was a wee lad.
Elefant – The Black Magic Show
KRS One – Life
KRS One has long been considered a legend. For some reason, however, he hasn’t been given status in the upper-echelon of greatest MC’s. This is particularly perplexing when one considers that he’s spit more versus than Tupac and Biggie combined. He’s got more albums out than anyone, with maybe the exception of LL and Too […]
Lansing-Dreiden – The Dividing Island
On the surface, Lansing-Dreiden seems like another group trying to re-create genre bending music with roots in the ‘60s and ‘80s while passing it off as sophisticated art-rock. While true, it doesn’t even explain the story of this mysterious New York based duo, Lansing-Dreiden, and why they are referred to as a multi-media company. According […]

Snow Patrol – Embracing the Simple, Synchronistic Moments
I don’t often refer to a television show’s season finale when discussing a band’s sound, but in the case of the song “Chasing Cars” off Snow Patrol’s new album, Eyes Open, I’m making an exception. For Greys Anatomy fans, I don’t need to remind you how heartbreaking the closing scene was. For those who have […]
DeVotchKa – Curse Your Little Heart
Writing a review of DeVotchKa’s new EP for a Denver readership is probably the most pointless thing I have ever written. Well, except for that blog I dedicated entirely to the proper trimming of one’s toenails. Let’s face it, DeVotchKa is probably Denver’s most beloved musical act. I just had the EP sitting on my […]
Secret Machines – Ten Silver Drops
I attended the Secret Machines’ show last time they came to Denver. I’m not sure how I ended up there; someone gave me some tickets or something. I didn’t really have any solid ideas of who they were or what they sounded like, but I figured I’d check them out. For a band that I […]
