Some Denver bands would like to extend their Merry Christmas salutations via a free album download. "A Wintery Wish for Winter" was a charity album that was suppose to be a release that was to be sold initially with proceeds to benefit various charities. However, due to time constraints, the pressing of the album wasn't an option. Instead of scrapping the project all together, the album has ended up becoming a free Christmas gift. Sponsors and Friends: Audioloom Studios, Bocumast Design, Pablos Coffee, Helmet Room Recordings Click here to download the tracks! [...]

The release of Radio 1190 's third installment in their superior Local Shakedown CD series was ushered in this month with a hat-trick of record store release parties. While I was too gutless to brave the game-day Pearl Street crowd for the Bart's performance, I did make it out to Twist and Shout and Wax Trax . In this first installment, Kissing Party soldier through busted amps and a rough vocal mix before finally landing in musical bliss half-way through their set. Hey, when do in-store shows ever come off [...]

What is the UMS you ask? Well that's a silly question. Many have called the Denver Post Underground Music Showcase the "South by Southwest of Denver." Originally a one day, four band gig at the Bluebird, this showcase has bounced between Bluebird and Gothic before finally moving (and exanding) to South Broadway in the historic Baker district. Otherwise known as the hipster herding grounds. Excerpted directly from the UMS About page: "At the UMS , the presentation of the music is as important as the music itself. It's the songwriter circle in the Persian rug boutique; [...]
okay, so I'm basically settled in Denver 8much like our friend Lou over there) ... for now ... and I'm going to make a regular habit of posting reviews again. It's been too long, and I'm all ready losing track of stuff I've liked, and this blog is kind of how I keep track of that stuff, so the solution is obvious. Also, Tonight you should come out and see An Horse at the Hi-Dive . If you don't know anyone who wants to go, paint a cardboard cut out of your favorite author and [...]
It can't get any sweeter than The Kissing Party ! Their new single, 'King Graves Rd' and the video to go along it is just a simple day in the life of the band (with a cool split screen effect) that captures the band as much as it can in the span of two minutes... Their new release, 'The Hate Album', comes out this summer so stay tuned! For now, here is the video: Kissing Party - King Graves Rd. from Lee on [...]
Sure, Kissing Party aren't from Minnesota, and unfortunately time doesn't permit them a stop in the Twin Cities on their way out to the east coast in June. But sometimes I hear a song from a young band and I think to myself, if only times were different this band could have it so easy. [...]
