Big Business @ Ogden Theatre, Denver CO, 2008-07-31

 


I'm a big fan of Big Business and have seen them many times since their 1st tour back in 2005.  This show was part of a bill with Melvins and Secret Chiefs 3.  They were still touring behind their 2007 album "Here Come The Waterworks" but the did play a couple of songs from the then upcoming 2009 album "Mind The Drift"

Nice sound and a good performance.  Enjoy.

Buñuel @ Hi Dive, Denver CO, 2026-02-05

 



This was Eugene Robinsons first performance in Denver ever.  He talks about it on this night. He was going to play with Whipping Boy in 1983 but the police shut down the show.  Then in 2017 Oxbow was supposed to play a show but when they got to Denver the show was going on without them and promoter said they were off the bill.  I would love to know where that happened because I know a lot of people would have come out to see Oxbow.  I would have.

I was almost done reading Eugene's Feral House published memoir "A Walk Across Dirty Water and Straight Into Murderer's Row" when I heard the news that he suffered a stroke.  Scary situation but it sounds like he's on the mend.  I'm sure there is a gofundme for him if you are looking to throw him some support.

This was such a fun show.  Squid Pisser opened with their masked madness and then Buñuel knocked it out of the park.  Great performance and sound.  Solid setlist with an Oxbow song even.  Enjoy.

Supersuckers @ Mammoth Events Center, Denver CO, 1995-09-12

 

Here is another MarcR recording from his DAT archive.  This time an additional set from the night of September 12th 1995.  This show featured Hag Fish, Supersuckers, Reverend Horton Heat, Morphine and Violent Fems.  It was supposed to be two separate shows but they got combined.  Eddie Spaghetti complains about that and the sound in the Mammoth.  It was not great in this era.   The Supersuckers were touring behind "The Sacrilicious Sounds Of The Supersuckers" and had Rick Sims, who played on that album and contributed songs, on tour with them during this time singing and playing guitar.  

The sound on this starts out a bit rough but the vocals are clear through out most of this.  I don't think this has ever been shared and I've never seen many Rick Sims era recordings out there.  So of historical interest to Supersuckers super fans. Enjoy.

Frenzal Rhomb @ Ogden Theatre, Denver CO, 2002-03-30

 

Here we have Australian punk rock band Frenzal Rhomb captured live at the Ogden Theatre in Denver Colorado back on March 30th 2002.  They played on a bill with NOFX and Mad Caddies.  I shared the NOFX set awhile back on here.   Frenzal Rhomb was touring behind their album "Shut Your Mouth".

This is the only time I ever saw these guys.  Fun short set.  Sounds pretty good.  Enjoy.

Khemmis @ Hi Dive, Denver CO, 2013-12-08


 Here is long running Denver heavy metal band Khemmis live at the Hi Dive back in December of 2013.  They were part of a bill opening for the mighty Church Of Misery.  This was before they even had an album out yet.  Absolution didn't drop until 2015.  There were some demos out and 2 of these songs are from that.  "The Bereaved" shows up on Absolution and I think track 3 is an early version of "Antediluvian".  Khemmis just put out their 5th album.  It is self-titled this time and available in all the usual places.  Great heavy music.

I must have walked in while Khemmis was starting up.  The first song fades in.  Nice sound in the Hi Dive and I really enjoyed revisiting this one.  Short and sweet.  Enjoy.

Rattlesnake Milk @ Bluebird Theatre, Denver CO, 2026-07-09

 




Here is a new band to me.  I got hipped to these guys by a couple friends in the past few years.  Never really dug in a took a good listen.  They came to the Bluebird in Denver at the beginning of July and one of those friends wondered if I could come record audio of the show.  The Friday show was sold out already so I got Thursday tickets.  I then saw George Cessna's band El Welk was opening so I figured it would probably be good.  The day before the show I listened to their Orange Amps session on YT and started to wonder what I had been doing not listening to these guy already.  They are right in my wheel house.  

The show was great they played the few songs I knew and a bunch more.  We got a couple new songs that I took a guess at the titles and some fun covers of Fred Eaglesmith, Daniel Johnston, & Elvis.  I would 100% go see this band again.  Crowd was pretty chatty, rowdy and loud but my mics were insulated from the worst of that for the most part.  Enjoy.
