2016 is flying by, and as we speed along towards the end of March, it’s time to prep ourselves for summer festivals. The Underground Music Showcase (UMS) kicked fest prep into gear with the announcement of pre-sale tickets for the Denver street festival, which takes place July 28th through July 31st.
In our multitasking world, music listening is typically done while we’re busy doing other things; driving, working, polishing the silver. Gone are the days of laying on the floor with our big headphones and simply listening to every note, memorizing lyrics, feeling the bridge and chorus.

By now you may think you can’t go on, especially if you’ve attended every day of the Underground Music Showcase (UMS) thus far. But you need to soldier on, ’cause there’s another full day of music and festivities to be had and conquered. So dust off the beers and cocktails from last night, jump in […]
It’s the weekend! This means work is out of the way it’s time for some daytime parties and shows. There’s lots in store, so take your vitamins and stay hydrated. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

You know I’m fucking with you, right? It’s UMS bitch, time to get to some ringing-ears-the-next-day-in-the-AM action. Here are but a few […]

We’ve made it to the last day, Sunday, July 24, of the 11th Annual Underground Music Showcase (UMS). In today’s picks is a reminder to check out EyeRock Art and Music show, Colfax Speed Queen, Flashlights,Timber Timbre, along with A Shoreline Dream, The Down and The Outfit.
Whew. Day 3. Late-night / early-morning afterparty after a day of heated venues and blasting music, and then waking at 9:00am; the combo just doesn’t mix. Okay caffeine, do your magic. Please.
