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

Jan 30, 2010 by

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

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...

Wed 1/27: Euforquestra plays at Samana Lounge...

Jan 27, 2010 by

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...

Jan 26, 2010 by

Tonight’s concert options include a collaboration group of  improv specialists at Three20South, a Sublime Tribute at Sandbar or you can always check out the local talent at shows in Vail and Steamboat. For the local talent, head off to Ghost Ranch Saloon in Steamboat for Jebus, a five person band that has been jamming together for the last five years. Made up of disparate influences and equally diverse personalities, Jebus comes together twice a week to bend time, improv jam in iambic pentameter, and drink beer. At Samana, an offshoot of local bluegrass and rock stars, calling themselves The Laughing Bones Trio continue their Tuesday night residency. Not only will these guys entertain you with rousing renditions of Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan and The Grateful Dead, but you can get Jameson shots for $3 while they’re playing. And how many...
