Before Daedelus' performance Friday night, I'd never really understood "underground" when describing a show. I've listened to underground music. I had been a fan of Daedelus' Exquisite Corpses, and recently, became a fan of Free the Robots. I never before had to search for a music venue down a dark dead end alley, which was marked by a couple of beef cakes in black suits.

Soundcheck is a bi-weekly(ish) concert guide featuring local Denver bands accompanied by a custom audio stream which will allow you to hear the bands before they play their show, similar to a live soundcheck (get it?!?!). It's been a while since I've had the time to curate this column. Soundcheck was popular when it debuted and I felt like I was getting back to the roots of this website, which is to contribute to the already lively arts scene we have here in Denver. Unfortunately, not long [...]

rhythm-track-vol-1-5 kash-feat-deon-davis afi A couple of weeks ago I emailed James Pants to try and convince him that it would be a good idea to take me (a complete stranger) on a brief tour of Spokane while I ask him stupid questions and point a camera in his face. He said he'd love to but then came with some bullshit excuse for the dates I proposed (like his girlfriend's cat's funeral is that day or that he'd be out of town doing shows-don't remember). [...]
