2/16: Happy Fat Tuesday!

Feb 16, 2010 by Anonymous

Anywhere you go tonight there’s going to be a big party, but that goes double for Vail where Bridge Street in the Village hosts CarniVail. Aside from a float parade and a free pass to drink in the streets, there is a free Frogs Gone Fishin’ concert. Afterwards, you can stay in Vail for EOTO at Samana or head to Avon for one of Stereo Assassins’ last shows before several of their members head out on tour with the aforementioned FGF. The Assassins will be as funky as ever in what has become one of the best local’s nights in Colorado. What EOTO, comprised of the rhythm section from String Cheese Incident, achieves on stage is nothing short of astounding. Performed with all of the bells and whistles of a traditional electronic artist plus the addition...

Getting Funky with Lubriphonic

Feb 11, 2010 by Anonymous

A look at what would happen if James Brown and Led Zeppelin had children By Todd Altschuler Get ready to dance your ass off this March when a funky rock and blues band called Lubriphonic embarks on two week tour of Colorado. And dance you will, because Lubriphonic is one of those bands that makes an entire room get down hard. I’ll bet they could even make Reverend Shaw Moore tap a foot. Hailing from Chicago and featuring a group of musicians that reads like a who’s who in the The Second City’s venerable blues scene, this band is not to be missed. The two week tour is made up of 10 stops mostly in mountain towns (including a free outdoor show in Winter Park) and it’s set up so that you’ll be able to...

Frozen Dead Guy Days

Feb 9, 2010 by Anonymous

Intro by Nederland resident Colin Huff If you were suspended in air above the mountains west of Boulder, Colorado, you would see a network of empty two lane highways winding through ranges and mountain peaks, connecting the ex-mining towns that speckle the great divide like knots in a massive, squiggly net. The irony of such a simile is, of course, that the people living in these relatively isolated towns (if you can even call them towns—there are a few with populations in the single digits) are people who would pick up on, and object to, the metaphoric implication of living under a net. Perhaps, then, like a child scribbling with a black and yellow crayon would be a more appropriate simile. I always assumed people were just being ignorant when they sent me letters...

Frozen Dead Guy Days

Feb 9, 2010 by Anonymous

Intro by Nederland resident Colin Huff THE TRUE STORY, YES IT IS ALL TRUE,,,, Taken from the Nederland Chamber of Commerce website Grandpa Bredo is soon to be 109 years old. For years, he’s taken up residence in a Tuff Shed in the hills above Nederland, Colorado, where he remains very, very, very cold. More specifically, Grandpa is frozen in a state of suspended animation, awaiting the big thaw- the one that will bring him back to life. There is a good story behind this, one that stretches from Norway to California to Colorado, involving cryonics, deportation, psychics, celebrations, and a dedicated Ice Man. It’s a tale that has captured international attention and sparked a must-attend annual event called Frozen Dead Guy Days. So how did all of this begin… and more...

Sat 1/30: DJ Yoda and a whole bunch of local flavor...

Jan 30, 2010 by Anonymous

Colorado is a mecca for music for two reasons. First off, it’s a place where the best national bands like to come and play to a great crowd and second, the state cultivates some amazing homegrown talent. Tonight, some of that homegrown talent is on display at Three20South in Breckenridge and Ghost Ranch Saloon in Steamboat. At Ghost Ranch, Eight piece funk/jazz/rock band Filthy Children deliver nutritious grooves. Reminiscent of such groove giants as Soulive, Greyboy Allstars, John Scofield, and Deep Banana Blackout, Filthy Children deliver action-packed funk that’s sure to move your booty. And if you’re into reggae, Three20South hosts Dubskin, a 5 piece Roots/Dub Reggae band from Ft. Collins, CO. Sitting in with Dubskin tonight is Cory from Pretty Lights. Formed in 2006, Dubskin has really broken out in the last year, touring the country and sharing the...

Fri 1/29: There’s nothing shaking on Shakedown Street?...

Jan 29, 2010 by Anonymous

It’s tribute night in Eagle County! Between Vail and Avon, fans of the Grateful Dead and AC/DC can both rejoice as Shakedown Street and Hell’s Belles both have shows. Shakedown’s shows (2 shows, Fri and Sat) are at Sandbar and they are recreating Europe 72, which means that you’re guranteed such favorites as China>Rider and Sugar Mags. I assume that they’ll play the One More Saturday Night at tomorrow’s show, but you never can tell these things. Call first, but I’d bet that Sandbar will let anyone with a rainbow wig willing to hit themselves in the face with an ice cream cone in for free. And over at Agave, Hell’s Belles are world-famous and ready to rock! They are the premier all-female AC/DC tribute act, blowing all comers away. Playing ALL AC/DC, ALL the time, ALL...

Jan 27, 2010 by Anonymous

Originally from Iowa City, IA, Eufórquestra (pronounced: yoo • FOHR • keh • struh, think Euphoria+Orchestra) relocated to Fort Collins, CO in August 2008 and has made a splash on the Colorado music scene with a relentless tour schedule and a live show that leaves feet tired and hearts and minds happy. The band is known for their diverse sound and eclectic repertoire, covering a number of traditional and progressive sounds ranging from (but not limited to) reggae, dub, afrobeat and samba to ska, highlife, funk and jazz. In October 2009 the band released Soup, a collection of 11 tracks that captures the band at new heights in terms of songwriting, energy and production. In an effort to spread the album far and wide as an independent artist, the band has decided to give...
