Green Milk From the Planet Orange @ The Black Heart, London UK, 2025-05-17




Here is another set from Desert Fest London 2025.  This time Japanese band Green Milk From the Planet Orange.  This band checks too of my boxes.  Go see bands that you have never seen and might not ever given a chance and go see bands that traveled a long way to where they are playing.

I knew nothing about this band other than what I read on the Desert Fest site.  Sounded interesting to me and I managed to get up in the the tiny show room about the bar at The Black Heart.  I wouldn't say I really saw then though as they mostly played seated on that short stage.  Was a cool experience and funny enough I ran into them at the airport when I was leaving London.  Nice folks.

They play a heavy fast progressive rock.  It gets a little spaced out sometimes.  They were loud. 

Support independent music and bands from all over the world anyway you can. Enjoy.

The Reverend Horton Heat @ Mammoth Events Center. Denver CO, 1995-09-12

 


Here is another MarcR tape.  This time a 1995 set from The Reverend Horton Heat at the Mammoth Event Center (aka now the Fillmore) in Denver.  This was part of a bonkers show line up with a headlining Violent Fems, Morphine, Supersuckers, and Hagfish.   Wow!

Marc had to have recorded this in the balcony.  Around this time the stage was on the East side of the building.  Very little crowd noise or chatter. Nice capture all around.  The best era of RHH for me. I didn't go to this show but I saw them a bunch from 95 forward.  Enjoy.

Conan @ Skylark Lounge, Denver CO, 2024-03-31


 

I saw Conan at Desert Fest London this year.  They played at the famous Roundhouse in Camden.  Legendary venue and it was cool to see a show there.  But the Roundhouse is literally an a giant brick and steel former train repair depot.  I don't know how Jimi Hendrix or the Ramones sounded in there but it wasn't ready for Conan's caveman battle doom.  My recording of that isn't going to see the light of day.

My first time seeing Conan was here in Denver at one of my locals in 2024.  The Skylark Tavern / Bobcat Club.  It was loud as hell but sounded pretty good to me.  They barely ever book metal bands here either so it was kind of special to see them here.  I don't think they had been to Denver since 2019 either so this was a must see show for me.  Enjoy.

Avon @ The Underworld, London UK, 2025-05-17

 


Maybe the most "desert" thing I saw at Desert Fest London was getting the chance to see desert rock legend Alfredo Hernandez play drum with two bands back to back.  He was a member of Kyuss, Yawning Man, Queens Of The Stone Age, and lots of others.  Don't get much more desert rock than that.  He played with UK instrumental band Sons of Alpha Centauri and then with his band Avon.  Which is named after a QOTSA song.

We got a nice set of their originals and 3 QOTSA and 1 Kyuss covers.  Good times.  Sounds like they have a new album coming out soon.  Be on the look out if your a fan of this genre.  Enjoy.

Bobbie Dazzle @ The Underworld, London UK, 2025-05-18




Another Desert Fest set.  Bobbie Dazzle live at The Underworld in Camden town London.  They are a straight up, powerhouse, UK glam rock band.  In the vein of Sweet, Slade, and Bowie.  They were the 1st band of the day on the last day of the fest.  A bit of  odd band out for sure in a fest full of Doom and Doom adjacent bands.  But fun as hell and a great way to get it going I thought.

I must have heard of them because they are on Rise Above Records.   Rise Above is a long running heavy music label out of the UK started by the legendary Lee Dorrian. Founding member of Napalm Death and Cathedral.  I was bummed I didn't make it to his record store on my visit.  I figured if he was giving it the stamp of approval I should put Bobbie Dazzle on my must see list.  

Glad I did.  It was a real good time.  Big stage rock in a smallish room always rules.  Sounds like they are on the way up from here with gigs opening for ELO and Alice Cooper.  Fun stuff and I think this turned out pretty nice.  Enjoy.

Årabrot @ The Underworld, London UK, 2025-05-16

 









Here is another set from Desert Fest London.  I tried to pick bands to see that I was unfamiliar with and bands that I didn't think I would get a change to see again anytime soon.  Årabrot from Norway fit that bill.  Årabrot get called noise rock.  That is a pretty wide umbrella which I guess they fit under.  A this show the main guy Kjetil Nernes said "we play dirty ugly rock n roll".

It's always fun to see a band you have never seen before and are mostly in the dark about blow you away.  That was the case on this day.  I enjoyed it so much I picked up 2 of their releases on vinyl and am looking forward to their new album at the end of August.

Pretty good sound on this and good setlist spanning their most recent work.  We got T-Rex and Lee Hazelwood / Nancy Sinatra covers for good measure.  100% would see this band live again given the chance.  Enjoy.

Blood Incantation @ Three Kings Tavern, Denver CO, 2013-07-20

 

Well the final and 25th UMS starts in Denver today.  What better way to celebrate than with another set from UMS past.  This time a band that I have love since this first time I saw them back in 2013.  Blood Incantation has been blowing up the last couple years.  The new album Absolute Elsewhere has been getting rave reviews and attracting non metal audiences to their sold out shows across the globe.  It has been awesome to see all their hard work over the years paying off for them.  So well deserved.

I've seen Blood Incantation play live lots of times since this show.  Recorded them a few of those times and even posted a show on here before.  At the end of last year I got a copy of their 1st cassette "Astral Spells" released as a 10 inch vinyl by Doomentia records.  In the liner notes there are two early interviews re printed and in one of them Paul mentions that they are getting ready to play their their 1st show ever at the UMS.    

It had been awhile and I don't always record sets at the UMS.  But I pulled up my spreadsheet to see and low and behold there it was.  They shared the stage with a lot of great bands on this day at Three Kings.  Battlespawn, Call Of The Void, Hi-Strung, IL CATTIVO, Panal S.A.DE C.V., Speedwolf, & Stoic Dissention.  This was a hell of a day at 3K.

Sound is pretty good on this I think.  I left off the first song due to technical difficulties.  Enjoy.

Townies @ Hi Dive, Denver CO, 2023-07-28


Here is another set from UMS past.  This time the best (punk) band from Trinidad Colorado now or ever.  Townies!!!!   Live at the Hi Dive back in 2023.  They consists of Suzanne Magnuson: Vocals, Ben Gallagher: Bass, Curt Wallach: Guitar, & Fred Bohlander: Drums.  Curt and Suzanne have Denver roots with Hi Dive, Track Shack, Space In Time, and some other band activity.  Great folks.  They left Denver for Trinidad awhile ago but occasionally play a show here or at their place down south the Dad Lounge.

They play a classic punk rock styler with funny and political songs.  Fun stuff.  You can check out their two releases right here.  https://fuckingtownies.bandcamp.com/music

IL CATTIVO @ Three Kings Tavern, Denver CO, 2013-07-20


Here is another UMS set.  This time from 2013 with Denver band IL CATTIVO preforming at Three Kings Tavern. Formed in 2009, the band was a fixture on the Denver scene, comprised of Brian Hagman , Matt Bellinger, Jed Kopp, Arj Narayan, and Matt Cavanaugh.  They played a heavy style of post punk, post metal, post whatever.  They killed it live.  

From the same day/night as the Speedwolf show I posted previously.  
What a great day of music that was. Enjoy.

Tin Horn Prayer @ Three Kings Tavern, Denver CO, 2011-07-23


Here is another show form UMS past.  This time Tin Horn Prayer live at Three Kings Tavern during the 2011 UMS.  Tin Horn Prayer was active from 2010ish to 2013.  They played a rootsy kind of train punk and were always a great time live.  They met a sad end with several members passing.  

You can still check out all their musical out put here.    https://tinhornprayer.bandcamp.com/

Pretty good sound on this and the band was relatively sober for this show as they mention at the beginning  Enjoy.

Speedwolf @ Three Kings Tavern, Denver CO, 2013-07-20

 

Well with the announcement that this year is going to be the last Underground Music Fest in Denver.  This is also the 25th year for the UMS.  I've gone most years.  Certainly every years since 2007ish.  Living very near to all the venues they have it in certainly made it an easy one to attend for me.

They have said that they might come back in a different form someday.  We will see what happens I guess.  I'm going to miss it.  

I'm going to post a few sets from UMS across the years.  Today the mighty Speedwolf who headlined the UMS stage at Three Kings Tavern back in 2013.  It was always a lot of fun to see these guys.  They topped the bill of a mostly metal and heavy stage I recall.   Something that UMS doesn't always include.  In the last few years we might get 1 or 2 nods to metal.  

This is a fun set.  A little rough and rowdy!!  SPEED WITH THE WOLF!!!

Chat Pile @ Gothic Theatre, Englewood CO, 2025-03-06

 





Here is one of my favorite bands going right now.  Chat Pile from Oklahoma. They have been bubbling up for the underground since 2019.  Their 2021 album God's Country really brought more attention to the band.  Their 2024 album Cool World continues this good work.

A Chat Pile is mining term for the big piles of leftover sandy material that is produced from the Zinc and Lead mining.  They are scattered about Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas and are considered hazardous material due to the fine particles of heavy metals they contain that are easily blow around.

The band Chat Pile is itself a conglomeration of musical genre's.  To me they sound like a mix of every band that was on Amphetamine Reptile Records and a healthy scoop of grunge music.  It's loud, heavy, and can be confrontational sonically.  But then the band kind of looks like regular dudes.  The singer talks about movies filmed in the area that they are playing so we get a lot of Denver and Colorado movie talk.  Good times. Enjoy.

Red Cloud West @ Larimer Lounge, Denver CO, 2004-08-22

 

Red Cloud (West) was a fantastic band in Denver in the early to mid aughts.  Core members were Jason Heller and Ross Etherton.  On their CD Neil Keener played bass and Andrew Wagner played drums.  Not sure if they played at this live show or not since I can find no pictures.

They had to add "West: to their name after some hip hop guy calling himself Red Cloud got after them.
Great fiery guitar work.  Some what of a loud quite loud atheistic.  They kind of sounded like a post punk Neil Young and Crazy Horse.  I was a huge fan and saw them play live a bunch.   This show was part of a big day at the Larimer Lounge that also featured Slim Cessna's Auto Club, Railbenders, Drag The River, and Foggy Mountain Fuckers.  Good times.

Real nice audience recording with a mostly quite and polite crowd.  As the ladies at the very end say "Red Cloud Forever!!!!!....word"  Enjoy.

Jesus Lizard @ Fox Theatre, Boulder CO, 1997-02-15


 
Today I'm sharing this audio from Jim Hucks fantastic video of a1997 Jesus Lizard show at the Fox Theatre in Boulder Colorado.  Jim sent me a big audio cache recently so I'll be getting some more of that posted soon.  

Jesus Lizard was touring behind their 1st major label album Shot.  They play songs off of that and a nice mix of back catalog.  Pretty nice board mix.  A few drop outs and cut ins in a couple spots.
During the interlude track David Yow brought out their backstage cold cuts platter and some bread and passed it out to the crowd.  You proceeded to mostly just made a big mess.  Prompting Yow to say "Eat it don't throw it".  He complains lightly and makes jokes about the recent indoor cigarette smoking ban that had recently gone in to effect.  Head up if you watch Jim's video linked below.  Yow takes off his pants.

Thanks again to Jim for sharing this with me.  Jesus Lizard are such a great band.  Long time favorite.  I hope they make it to Denver again at some point in their occasional short runs.  Enjoy.

Elder @ Electric Ballroom, London England, 2025-05-16


Here is another set from the Desert Fest London.  This time the band Elder.  They are from Massachusetts but are based in Berlin Gemmary now.  They play a melodic progressive doom metal.  I have seen them before in Denver on a much smaller stage back in 2022.  

I missed the very beginning of their set because I was coming from seeing Årabrot set at the Underworld.
Sounds pretty good and the crowd isn't too chatty.  Towards the end there is a chatty bit were they made us stop standing on the stairs that we had been standing on the whole show up until that point.  Enjoy.

Well yesterday we had an old recording.  Today we have a nice fresh new one.

I've seen Dave Alvin before but never Jimmie Dale Gilmore so this was a not miss for me this year.
We got a nice long set with a bunch of their originals and some fun covers.  Really great show and I think this recording turned out pretty nice.  Enjoy.

Slim Cessnas Auto Club @ Bluebird Theatre, Denver CO, 1999-05-29

 

Here is an older one.  I had only been recording live audio at show for about a month or so at this point.  I was already a big SCAC fan and had seen them many times.  I tried to record them a the Lion's Lair a few weeks before and totally botched it.  This was my redemption.

In 1999 SCAC was going through a big change.  Long time member Frank Hauser Jr was no longer in the band and Munly had joined not long before this.  This is a transition show where they are still playing some of the old numbers from the 1st 2 CDs,.   Once they got rolling with Munly and the new songs started coming they never played these old songs very much anymore.

Wish I could remember were I stood and recorded this.  There is very little crowd chatter and I think it sounds pretty nice.  Enjoy.

Michael Dean Damron @ Three Kings Tavern, Denver CO, 2012-04-21

 



Not long after hearing of Michael Dean Damron's passing I posted a I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch In The House show.  My friend Karen Cuda asked me about this show that she played with MDD.  I sent her the picture and said I would check out the audio.  I finally got around to it and it's short but sweet.

Karen plays bass and after a bit my old pal Dan Utter got up and joined in on harmonica. Micah Schnabel gets up there at the end to help on The Weight cover.  Fun times we had.

Dopelord @ The Underworld, London England, 2025-05-18

 





Earlier this year my buddy Matteo asked if I would want to come to London in May for Desert Fest.
I hadn't seen my friend for a long time and I have always wanted to go to a Desert Fest.  Plus I had never been to London before so it was a win win.  

London is a cool city and I had a great time checking it out in between seeing 17 bands over 3 days.
The schedules overlap a bit and some venues you need to be there early yo get in sometimes.  I went mostly for bands that I had never seen or might never get a chance to see.  Caught some really cool stuff.  In order.  Wallowing, Sea Bastard, 10,000 Years, Arabrot, Elder, Scott Hepple & The Sun Band, Conan, Sons of Alpha Centari, Avon, Planet of Zeus, Green Milk From The Planet Orange, Bobbie Dazzle, Mr. Bison, Divide and Dissolve, Castle Rat, Dopelord, Electric Funeral

I made a bunch of recordings too. Figured Dopelord would be a good one to post first since they were one of my must see bands of the fest. Good times.

Truckfighters @ HQ, Denver CO, 2025-05-03

 





My first time seeing Truckfighters and I got a hell of a show.  Denver was the last date on their US tour so it felt like they pulled out all the stops.  Great setlist and I thought they sounded really good.  They had some equipment problems at the beginning of "Momentum" and the bass player and drummer slow jazz it up for a while until the guitar rejoins.  A special 12 minute version they call it.  Turning lemons into lemonade.  Total pros.   I would totally see Truckfighters again.  Enjoy.

Superchunk @ Ogden Theatre, Denver CO, 1995-04-19

 

Here is another of MarcR 1995 DAT recordings.  This time Superchunk at the Ogden on April 19th 1995.  They were opening up for Belly at this show.  I guess this is part of the touring for Foolish still since "Here's Where The Strings Come In" didn't come out until September of 1995.

The band's stage banter is really sarcastic and negative at this show.  At one point they call the author of the Westword article that came out before this show an "Asshole".  They call Westword "Water World". Talk mild shit to the crowd.  I thought they might have just been having a bad day.  But then wen I went searching to see if I could find the article I first found this 1999 article.


That mentions that this was kinda of their shtick back then.  Made more sense.  Here is the 1995 article which I now don't think they were that upset about.  


Superchunk is still putting out new music and touring to this day.  Go see them if you get a chance for sure.  MarcR did a nice job on this and it was a fun set to process.  Enjoy.
