The Westword Music Showcase came and went another year, and I had the pleasure of attending some of the shows at venues that I had never stepped foot in and always wondered what were like. My favorite was the furthest one, Opal, that was more than a hop, skip and jump from 11th and Acoma. I wish I would've gotten my bike fixed a couple of days ago because the hike proved to be costly on the timing side of things. Another thing I learned over the weekend is the inner beauty of the [...]
Today is the 2011 version of the Westword Music Showcase. I'll be wandering around downtown Denver enjoying music all day. You can tweet @1146miles if you'll be there also. This is a pre-Showcase post; there may or may not be a post-event one, depending on the whims of this writer. Here's the schedule as provided by Westword.com And to conclude, here's the song New Hampshire by Flashlights, a local Denver band that will be playing. [...]

(Photo by Julio Enriquez of Cause=Time .) Yet another welcome surprise for me at this year's Westword Music Showcase was Neon Indian . Like the Dirty Projectors set, I was afraid that this set would lose some of it's steam in a mid-afternoon outdoor setting. While there's no question this would go over better indoors, the band's prismatic layering of sound drew a large and responsive crowd. The trick was getting up close and submerging yourself in the sound. Neon Indian 6.19.2010 Main Stage, Westword Music [...]
Even though they took the stage at just past noon, an eager, early crowd gathered at the main stage to see Oh My Stars kick off the Westword Showcase. In this short set, they managed to squeeze in plenty of new material, fan favorites, and even a few covers.

After being out of town for the last couple of Westword Music Showcases, I was finally able to attend this past weekend. I would like to congratulate the people over at Westword for making fantastic use of the parking lot behind the DAM (Denver Art Museum) for the main stage area. I hung in there for as long as I could and here is my day in pictures. Some quick observations: City Hall is WAY UNDERUTILIZED! What a great venue, inside and outside areas. Especially the outside area. I didn't realize it was [...]
Easily the most anticipated local act at the Westword Music Showcase, Snake Rattle Rattle Snake played to an enthusiastic, standing-room only crowd at the Curious Theatre.

After all the great club shows I'd seen them play, I was a bit skeptical about seeing Dirty Projectors outdoors in the afternoon. My worries were unfounded, as their songs were effortlessly translated to a festival setting. Their ability to present such complex compositions ("brain music") and entertain a general audience, many of whom had probably never heard the band, is another testament to the genius and talent of Longstreth and Co.

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! [...]
Denver got a dose of Superchunk tonight...and what a treat it was! I was so excited about sharing this set that I tracked it out immediately after getting home from the show.

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 [...]

In a moment of cutting journalistic integrity, Angora Holly Polo suddenly spewed forth factual information from said music fest so as to enlighten the general truthiness of the universe. Here are twelve things, prioritized by coolness, which probably happened at the Westword Music Festival this last Saturday: 12.) Ethan, lead singer of Gangcharger, kept getting electrocuted in the mouth during his set at Sutra. Somehow the mic kept sneakily sending jolts of electricity into his face while he continued to rock in legendary fashion, without Angora Holly Polo's even observing the [...]
