Joyce Manor @ Marquis Theatre, Denver CO, 2015-08-30

 

I don't recall a lot about this set except that I was very tired this night.  This was the last set on the third night of Denver Riot Fest 2015.  I had been all 3 days.  I saw and recorded some amazing sets.  Most of which I have shared in previous posts.  I had not shared this Joyce Manor before so I gave it a listen.  Emo Pop Punk isn't generally my go to, but when its this well done it's hard to not get into it.  These guys repeatedly mention how stoked they are to open for and too get to see Drive Like Jehu on this night so that pulled me in too.   I've been listening to their new 2026 album "I Used To Go To This Bar" a little bit recently.  That inspired this archive pull more than anything.

They play a bunch of songs from their 2014 album "Never Hungover Again" and some older tracks. They talk about how awesome Dead Milkmen were earlier in the day and announce a cover.  Sadly not a DM cover but a Weezer song.  I guess I missed the first few songs of this set.  Fun for what it is. Enjoy.

Toody Cole and Her Band @ Gonerfest, Memphis TN, 2026-09-25

 

I have been a fan of Dead Moon for a long time but I totally dropped the ball on seeing them live when they were active.  I had plenty of opportunities too.  Too many shows and not enough time I guess.  So I was happy to make up for the deficit a little bit by catching Toody Cole and her Band at Gonerfest 23 this year in Memphis Tennessee.  Joining Toody were Kelly Halliburton and Christopher March who also play in Jenny Don't and the Spurs from Portland.

Big set of Dead Moon songs under a full moon and a lovey Memphis night.  I think this sounds pretty good especially since recording outside can be a challenge.  The stage was right in front of a double set of train tracks so a train does go by twice during this set but it isn't too intrusive.  Enjoy.

Dishwalla @ Fox Theatre and Best Buy instore, Boulder - Westminster 1996-07-24 and 23

 

Here is another of MarcR's mid 90s DAT recordings.  This time California Alt Rock band Dishwalla.

You might remember them from their 1996 hit "Counting Blue Cars".  Marc must have been a big fan since he caught 2 performances in a row.  A show at the Fox Theatre in Boulder and an in-store performance at the Westminster Best Buy.

Both recordings sound pretty good.  The band has technical issues with the keyboards at both shows but they were pros and roll with it.  Enjoy.

X @ Ogden Theatre, Denver CO, 2001-08-25

 

Today I present a great X show at the Ogden Theatre from 2001.  Fantastic setlist.  X wasn't very active in the early aughts.  I saw John Doe solo more I think.  They did come to Denver fairly often though for not really touring.  We got 3 encores on this night.  Good times.

Clinging To The Trees Of A Forest Fire @ Three Kings Tavern, Denver CO, 2008-12-19

Clinging To The Trees Of A Forest Fire was a Denver band from 2006-2013.  They played grindcore with some death metal and metalcore touches.  This was Ethan McCarthy's band before he formed Primitive Man.  On drums was J.P. Damron who also now plays in Ethan's band Vermin Womb.  Bass was Zach Harlan who is also in Vermin Womb.  Guitar by Ben Romsdahl.

I noticed recently that someone started a CTTTOAFF IG page and the hard to find album "Songs Of Ill Hope and Desperation" is available on bandcamp now.  So go check that out.  That inspired me to dig up this recording and get it posted.  

At this 2008 show CTTTOAFF opened a bill that also included Dead Speak, Enemy Reign, and Cephalic Carnage.  Wow!!  Hell of a show.   I had my mics mounted on the ceiling at Three Kings by this point so I think this sounds pretty good.  If your into this kind of thing.  Enjoy.

Hot Snakes @ Oriental Theatre, Denver CO, 2019-09-05

 

Here is my capture of Hot Snakes at the Oriental Theatre in Denver CO back on September 5th 2019.  They were on tour for the magnificent album Jericho Sirens.  Amazing cross catalog setlist.

Sadly Hot Snakes last tour and last time in Denver.  Rick Froberg passed away unexpectedly in 2023.

From what I've read their might be an unreleased Hot Snakes album in the can that was close to finished before Rick's death.  So maybe that will see the light some day.  Enjoy.

Ministry @ Red Rocks Amphitheater, Morrison CO, 2026-09-15

 

I've seen Ministry a bunch of times over the years since the 90s.  I think it's fair to say that it's been hit or miss.  Though they have definitely been on an up swing in recent years.  Good to see.  

This show was all hit for me.  Sounded good.  Interesting setlist and a surprise appearance by Paul Barker.  Enjoy.
