Mclusky @ Marquis Theatre, Denver CO, 2026-03-25

 

I finally saw a real Mclusky show this year. Way back in 2004 Mclusky played at the Larimer Lounge. I feel it was on a Sunday because I was there in the afternoon to see a Munly and the Lee Lewis Harlots play on the back patio.  I was listening to their soft beautiful music when a roaring cacophony started coming from the inside stage. Munly wrapped it up not being able to compete with that. I went inside and watched Mclusky's soundcheck.

It was still day light so I headed to my car. I was just down the block when a gentleman, who's name I can't recall, came out of the Larimer and hollered down the street at me "where are you going!?! Mclusky is playing tonight!!!". I waved but went to my car and drove off. Not to return later for some forgotten dumb reason. Glad to rectify that mistake earlier this year.

Mclusky was glorious. They started their tour in Denver on this night.  Recorded with only the A10 mics and I think it turned out really nice.  Great setlist and tons of banter.  Extra banter even due to a 4 minute tech issue.  Whether or not "Denver" can be a verb gets discussed and later in the set the band gets the answer.
This is in the running for my favorite show of 2026.  Never miss this band if you get a chance to see them.
Enjoy.

Melvins @ Cat's Cradle, Carrboro NC, 1994-04-19

 

Here is another recording from the Lantz Barbour cassette archive.  Lantz recorded a lor of stuff in Colorado but captured some shows in North Carolina too.  Including this great 1994 Melvins set at the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro NC.  They were on tour for the Houdini album.  Stoner Witch didn't come out until October of 1994.  They do play some songs from it though.  

I don't think Lantz shared this very widely so this source is new to circulation.  There is another source of this show. Someone shot video of it up close and personal.  Audio is better on this a little bit.
You can check it out here.   Melvins 1994 video

Cool setlist start to finish and pretty decent sound.  Enjoy.

29th Street Disciples - Live in Denver CO 2007-2010

 

Here is a follow up post for the recent SUPERBUICK post.  This is another great band that Eli Molyneux was in after that project.  29th Street Disciples mined that same loud fast rules punk rock vein.  It reminds me a little of The Bronx who I know Eli loved.  I saw them with him one time at Globe Hall.   

29th Street Disciples had 2 eras.  The first vocals were handled by Ben Roy who now fronts Spells and Arson Charge here in Denver. They had a run from 2007-2009.  In 2010  the 1.5 version started playing out with Matt James on vocals.   Sadly Eli and the drummer Justin Carlson are no longer with us.

This is all of late December set in 2007 at the Larimer Lounge and then a few tracks from other shows. The last 4 from a 2010 with Matt on vocals.   

They only recorded one self titled album.  You can check it out here   29th Street Disciples

Slick Rick @ Three Kings Tavern, Denver CO, 2014-11-09

 



                                                                Poster by Joshua Finley


Here is a recording of hip-hop legend Slick Rick at Three Kings Tavern in Denver Colorado back in November of 2014.  All the hits and nice sound on this one.  I hadn't listened to this since I recorded it and I had kind of remembered it not being good.  Live hip-hop is a hit or miss situation sometimes and in retrospect with a more in depth listen I think this is mostly pretty good.  I think he get a little high at the end.  Enjoy.

Subhumans @ HQ, Denver CO, 2026-04-03


Here is a pretty fresh one.  Subhumans (UK) live at HQ in Denver Colorado back on April 3rd of this year.  These guys have been at it forever but this was my first time seeing them.  They are punk rock legends for a reason.  Great show.

As an experiment I just used the built in microphones on the A10.  I think they did a pretty good job compared to my AT mics for sure.  Great setlist good sound.  Enjoy.

Sonic Youth @ Ogden Theatre, Denver CO, 1998-05-19


Here is another recording from the Jim Hucks archive.  This time he shared with me the 24bit audio of this 1998 Sonic Youth show he filmed at the Ogden Theatre in Denver Colorado.  Link to his video below.  They were touring behind the new album "A Thousand Leaves" at the time.  So we get lots of songs from that record and some deeper cuts.  Including the opener instrumental opener "Anagrama" from a 1997 EP.

Jim used a mix of his camera mic and the soundboard feed for this so it sounds really good.  Enjoy.

Superbuick, Live in Denver CO, 1999-04-23 and 2002-09-26



Been meaning to get this posted up.  Denver's Superbuick was a band started by Duane Bodenheimer after returning to Denver when his most famous band The Derelicts dissolved at the end of the 90s. They played punk rock but with big rock guitar sounds.  Reminiscent of Hellacopters or New Bomb Turks.  The existed from the late 90s into the early aughts.  The band was Duane Bodenheimer - vocals, Eli Molyneux - guitar, Charlie Romero - guitar, Geoff Andersen - bass, Corey Ryan = drums on 1999 show & Joseph Vigil - drums 2000.  Sadly Duane passed away last year and Eli and Joseph left us a few years back as well.  

The first set is from the Bluebird Theatre when Superbuick opened up for Supersuckers i n1999. The second is a set from the 15th Street Tavern when the opened for Valentine Killers.  Which was their last show.  They broke up after that.  I'm pretty sure their released output is 1 CD single with 2 songs and tracks on a couple local comps.  I had to ask Geoff for help with the song titles.  Most of these were never released songs.  Lots of Duane stage banter.  Enjoy.
