Back in the day, Denver was lucky enough to have the opportunity to see Liz Clark on a monthly basis. She's come a long way since, but this show celebrated the release of her second album, Who's Your Angel , limited to 200 copies in hand-made cases. Liz moved to NYC five or so years ago, and has been taking music worldwide ever since. Luckily, she still manages to hang out in Colorado from time to time, and you can catch her at Denver's Lilith Fair stop in July. [...]
Possibly the last show Rainville played before disbanding, this Swallow Hill performance was atypical of most, foregoing raucous alt-country for an acoustic presentation of their material. Several of these songs were penned just prior to this show, so this recording captures their only performance (though a few may have squeezed into the catalog of John Common's next project, Goodnight Tulsa).

Flashbulb Fires ' performance at the Curious Theatre was a perfect start to this year's Westword Music Showcase. The dreamy orchestrations of each song eased us into the early afternoon, before building up to full energy levels. The theater hadn't yet filled by 12:15 when the band took the stage, but the concertgoers I talked to who wandered in late were captivated by the songs they did manage to hear. You can still vote for Flashbulb Fires on the showcase ballot under the Indie Pop category...but hurry, the voting deadline is tomorrow! [...]
Six months after the Denver show, John Common brought his grandiose Beautiful Empty CD release show to the Fox in Boulder. Once again, the evening was packed full of artistic energy, from sculptures and photography exhibits in the lobby, to short films and documentaries which premiered during set changes. All told, there were six videos showcased, many of which can be found on John's YouTube channel . This lineup of Blinding Flashes of Light was slightly different than previous incarnations I've seen, and filled to the brim with guests (see below). A very special [...]
Over the weekend, Kilgore Books celebrated it's second birthday (and the release of Blammo #6 ) complete with live music, cake, and champagne.

The 2010 Westword Music Showcase is almost upon us, and in anticipation I've decided to sit down this rainy weekend and post a few sets from last years event. Yesterday included a repost of The Fluid's set , and this morning I just finished tracking out the Experimental Showcase. Held at the Curious Theatre , some of Denver's finest experimental musicians took the stage together in a performance closely fashioned after the "singer-songwriters in the round" format. BDRMPPL, Married in Berdichev, Iuengliss, CacheFlowe, Pictureplane and Slight Harp all took the stage, trading the lead for each [...]

I was a bit curious to see an organ on the stage last night when I walked into the Bad Weather California soundcheck last night. Curiosity gave way to excitement when I discovered that Aaron Collins has joined the lineup! Aaron's organ fills are a perfect complement to the band's older material. The additional instrumentation allows Bad Weather California to tread new musical ground on fresh tunes like "About This Time" and (still untitled?) Latin and African jams. BWC continue their three-night residency with Akron/Family tonight (+ Widowers and Candy Claws) [...]

Nathaniel Rateliff stopped by Twist and Shout Records for an in-store last week, celebrating the release date of his excellent new album on Rounder. Stripping the band down to a four-piece made for an intimate set, despite the packed house.

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.

I took a breather from taping at the UMS on Friday night, but thankfully John and Rose from KGNU held down the fort by running mics at the Hi-Dive. Airshow Mastering was also on-site and kind enough to pass on a board feed. Combing the two sources led to some quite listenable results...thanks to all involved that weekend!
