The Gourds @ Bluebird Theater, Denver CO, 2002-09-07

I would call myself a fan of The Gourds.  They are a bluegrassy americana country band,  They got some traction in the early aughts with their cover of Snoop Dogg's song "Gin and Juice".  Often miss attributed to Subline or others.   If they played that at this show I don't know.  As I only captured the first 49 minutes for some reason.  

I can't recall why this is abbreviated but I also can't even remember going to this show what so ever.  In my defense this was over twenty years ago and in the early aughts I was going to well over 100 shows a year.  What I did capture sounds pretty good I think.  They say from the stage that this was their first show in Denver ever.  I recall that they came back again next year.  They have been on hiatus since 2013.  Enjoy.

Meat Wave @ Lost Lake, Denver CO, 2022-11-09

 

Meat Wave put out a killer new album this year called Malign Hex.  It is an album that had me hooked from note one and is right up there with my favorite albums of 2022.

Lucky for me they rolled into Denver not long after I started playing the LP over and over.  Not surprisingly they are a fantastic live band as well.  They played songs from across their catalog and handled an equipment malfunction better than almost any band I have ever seen.  Looking forward to seeing them live again someday.  Enjoy.

The Black Halos @ The Bluebird, Denver CO, 2000-05-23

 

I been thinking about and listening to The Black Halos a lot lately since they just dropped a brand new album called 'How The Darkness Doubled'.  It is a rousing return with Rich Jones, Billy Hopeless, and Jay Millette all back in the fold.  Check it out on all your musical avenues.  It's rocks!  Great production too.  I'm loving it.

This 2000 Denver Black Halos show at the Bluebird had them opening up for L7.  Which I posted a while back.  HERE 

They would have still been touring behind the self titled album in 2000.  The do play a few songs from the upcoming 2001 album The Violent Years.  Sound is pretty decent I think.  Billy has a lot of fun stage banter.  Enjoy.
