If you’ve been dismayed by the dirge of electronic music that’s liken to a root canal without anesthetic, Slow Magic brings instant relief with sounds of joy, of a fantasy trip through the enchanted kingdom, as if he tapped psychically into your happiest memories and put them to song. That first experience of seeing Slow […]
Kishi Bashi performed at the Ogden Theatre Saturday, January 17, on the first date of Guster’s North American tour. The multi-instrumentalist/singer-songwriter performed his unique style of intricate and intense stringed-solos, layered and looped harmonies and beats, and nearly operatic indie pop with a slice of comedy and bright smiles at every turn.
Not sure what the equivalent of a band’s first night of tour is to a home run, a hat trick, a blow out, either way and sports metaphors aside, Guster met and more than exceeded fan’s expectation at the Ogden in Denver to a sold-out crowd.
There are certain moments in our day-to-day lives that cause us stop the fury of to-do lists and time chasing, where we embrace a moment for all its glory: watching the sunset from the window of a plane window, breathing in the view of the snow-topped mountains as we climb higher on the chairlift, or […]

Pub rock quintet The Hold Steady have come a long way from the pub circuit, for certain. Nearly a year after the release of Boys And Girls In America, the group is in Frisco for the fourth time in three years, this time playing the massive warehouse of a venue, Mezzanine. Master urban folklore storyteller […]
About a week before this show I got a text message from a friend and fellow drummer asking me if I had listened to Unearth’s new album In the Eyes of Fire. At the time I hadn’t. So I was pretty stoked to not only have the opportunity to review the show, but to also […]
