Beehive and The Barracudas @ Tulagi's, Boulder CO, 2002-08-26

 Today is post 663 on the way to post 666.  I recently found a used copy of Beehive & the Barracudas 2003 album "In Dark Love" at a great local shop in Denver called Drop To Pop.  I had for gotten how quirky and fun they were.  This recording is from the one time I saw them in 2002 at Tulagi's in Boulder Colorado.  They opened up for Hot Snakes.  What a great show.  

I hadn't really listened to this since I recorded it 23 years ago.  I finally checked it out briefly when I retransferred all my MD masters a year or so ago.  Hearing the album kicked me into gear though.  I went back and listened to all their albums.  Kind of in the vein of The Spits or The Briefs.  Punk rock but softer edged.  They call it Plastic Soul.  

Pretty nice sound on this and a killer setlist.  Funny stage banter though out and right before Whip Out My Pistol some jackass starts telling them they suck and the lead singer makes swift work of putting him in his place.  Fool didn't know who he was dealing with.  Enjoy.

Denver Joe and the Lovesick Saddle Tramps @ Cricket on the Hill, Denver CO, 200X-XX-XX

 Today for post 662 on the way to post 666.  Denver Joe and the Lovesick Saddle Tramps live at the Cricket on the Hill in the mid aughts.  Thanks to Jake Norris for recording this and letting me share it.

If you're unfamiliar with Denver Joe.  Here is a pretty good place to get up to speed on this Denver legend.  The Denver publication Modern Drunkard had a profile on him long ago.  Check it out here.

Also photo credit above goes to MD as well.

Joe passed away in 2018 and Westword did a profile on him as well

https://www.westword.com/music/denver-joe-legendary-cricket-on-the-hill-performer-dies-at-62

Joe and his band mates “Aunt” Lois and “Uncle” Dick Meis, played at the Capital Hill bar Cricket on the Hill for years and years.  The would play at Benders for awhile after the Cricket closed.  Joe was a salty old cuss on stage.  If you yelled  out a request he usually would let you have it.  He called me a dirty hippy once for saying "Garth Brooks sucks".  A Denver Joe show was part comedy act but he could really play as sing and Lois and Dick had a long music history and were stellar musicians.

He leans into the classic and outlaw country.  But on this night we got a country version of a Supremes song.  We think this show was around 05 or 06. He was drunken, vulgar & rude onstage but always a fun time.  Fun one to revisit.  Enjoy.

Throw Rag@ Bluebird Theatre, Denver CO, 2002-11-22

 

Here is the 6 of 13 posts on the way down to post 666.  The countdown continues.

I love Throw Rag and and anything Sean Wheeler is involved in.  I'm positive I had heard them by this point in the fall of 2002.  Desert Shores didn't drop until summer of 2003 but I know I had their split 7 inch with Tenderloin in the late 90s.   This was for sure my first time seeing the band.

I'm unsure on the microphones used.  It might have been my buddy Tom's Microtech Gefell m300s > Sonosax SX-M2 rig.  This kinds of sounds like it was recorded from a tall stand.  Either way I think this sounds pretty good with minimal crowd chatter.  Killer setlist too.  Enjoy

Abdomen Of Hypnosis @ Ogden Theatre, Denver CO, 1995-03-04

 

Here is the 7 of 13 posts on the way down to post 666.  The countdown continues.

Today another MarcR 1995 recording.  This time it's one for all you old Denver rock heads who were around in the 90s.  Abdomen Of Hypnosis was a Denver band that put out a few things on local label  D.U. Records..  Which is also the label all the Longmont Potion Castle stuff comes out on.  Is there a connection?  I don't know.

Abdomen Of Hypnosis sound notched right in with the 90s alt rock era.  I pick up some Dinosaur Jr influences for sure.  I never got to see them live but have had their CD "Terminal Area" since around the time of this show.  I always really liked it.  I dug it out recently to help with tracking out this set and I think it still holds up great.  Worth seeking out I think.

Short opening set from these guys on this night. They were opening for Sebadoh.

To Be Eaten @ Three Kings Tavern, Denver CO, 2010-08-08

 

Here is the 8 of 13 posts on the way down to post 666.  The countdown continues.

To Be Eaten totally ruled back in the aughts.  I saw them a bunch of times.  I got to know Ben Pitts back around that time and have seen him in a bunch of bands in those 15 years.  These days he has Nightwraith, and plays with In Company Of Serpents, and a few other projects that are escaping me at the moment.  He's a busy guy.  

I asked Ben about the title for the 4th song in this set and he said they never gave it a name at the time and were still calling it New Song until the end.  

Pretty nice sound on this.  Mix is a little rowdy at first but it gets reigned in.  This is a combo of my room mics and a board feed.  The pictures and poster are from a different show but are the only good shots I had of To Be Eaten.  As Ben mentions in the recording this particular show they played on a bill with Only Thunder and Chuck Ragan!!  Hell of a night.

Primus @ Mammoth Events Center, Denver CO, 1995-12-10

 

Here is the 9 of 13 post on the way down to post 666.  The countdown continues.

Today I present another of the MarcR recordings.  This time a show from Primus at the Mammoth Event Center (aka Fillmore) in Denver on December 10th 1995.  They were on tour for Tales From The Punchbowl and Les says this was the last night of their tour.  I did some looking around and I can't seem to find this show posted anywhere else so this is either uncirculated or barely circulated.

"Wynona's Big Brown Beaver" was their hit at the time.  They play it early in the set and Les introduces it saying "Ok lets get this over with".   Ha Ha.

Pretty varied setlist with songs from across their catalog.  I think MarcR must have recorded this up in the balcony.  The crowd sounds mostly distant except for a few people shouting out for songs.  Marc got a good pull here which can be hard to do in this room.  Enjoy.

Reverend Deadeye @ The Continental Club, Denver CO, 2008-06-27

 

Here is the 10 of 13 post on the way down to post 666.  The countdown continues.

The right good Reverend Deadeye from Denver plays a mix of gospel, garage, and blues.  He kicked around Denver for years and now mostly resides in Switzerland. I must have seen him first at either Benders or Lion's Lair with his "goddamn wife".  Mostly I saw him as a solo act but he was also in a band with Alex Herbert called Broken Spirits.  I lost track of the number of times I caught him live over the years.

While his live appearances are few and far between these days he is still active.  You can learn more and buy some of his music on his site    https://www.revdeadeye.com/

Around the time of this show in 2008 Deadeye appeared in a independent movie called "THE FOLK SINGER - A Tale of Men, Music & America".  Him, Possessed By Paul James, and Scott H Biram speak and play songs about why they do what they do.  Worth seeking out if your a fan of any of these guys.

This show was at the fun but short lived Continental Club in Denver at 5th and Santa Fe.  It opened not long after we moved to the neighborhood and we had some fun times there.  The Reverend Deadeye was packing up his van and hitting the road.  For good.  See ya later.  So this was billed as his "Farewell show".  He let me setup my mics right in front of him on the on the floor were he performed.  So it is about as direct as it gets.  Really happy with this capture.  This was in an active bar environment so there is some atmosphere on the recording I kind of like it.  It took me right back to this night.  Enjoy.

The Bronx @ Boulder Theatre, Boulder CO, 2003-06-21

 

Here is the 11 of 13 post on the way to post 666.  The countdown continues.

This time my 2nd time seeing The Bronx.  The 1st time was the night before in Denver.  Before big promotors were keen on proximity clauses bands would come to Colorado and do a 2 or 3 city run across the front range.  I loved it and would often catch all the dates.

This tour was with The Supersuckers and Throw Rag which was a hell of a kick ass line up.

I assume that this was the first time The Bronx had come to Colorado.  Matt complains about t he altitude which is a sure sign of a newbie to the state.  The Bronx are still at it and bigger than either of the bands they opened for on this tour these days.

Me and my buddy Tom were in good with the Throw Rag guys and probably got guest listed for this one.  They certainly helped us get our recording gear and mic stands in.  We even got a board feed on this night.  This Bronx recording is from the board and a cool fun listen.  But also illustrative of why a monitor feed can be not so great.  The mix is a bit all over the place before settling in for their first set.   I must have had a bad MD too because I had to cut the first 2 songs because a massive amount of  drop outs.

Planes Mistaken For Stars @ Oriental Theatre, Denver CO, 2007-08-13

 

Here is the 12 of 13 post on the way to post 666.  The countdown continues.

This time a ferocious  Planes Mistaken For Stars set at the Oriental Theatre in Denver at the end of the summer of 2007.   I posted a June of 2007 PMFS show back in 2021.  This is the only other time that I recorded them.  I did see them a few more times after this.  

It all has come to a rather sad end with PMFS but I can't think of another band with a stronger posthumously released album than "Do You Still Love Me?"  If you are a fan and haven't heard that yet.  Drop what you're doing and go listen.

This was a free show on a Monday night.  I walked right in with a mic stand and flew them high for this set.  We got cool opening sets from California band Mystery Hang Up and locals 29th Street Disciples. Enjoy.

Thrones @ Three Kings Tavern, Denver CO, 2008-05-31

 

I started this blog in September of 2009 as a outlet for all of my recordings.  Live recordings are certainly not everyone's thing so I don't get a lot of visitors, comments, or downloads even.  But over the years I have had plenty of people thank me for shows or doing what I do.  I appreciate that so much.  

Today starts the 13 post countdown to the 666th ThatsTheThingAboutThat post.  I have found some gems combing through the archive.  I look forward to sharing these with you in the coming months.

First up a 2008 recording of Joe Preston's project Thrones.  Joe had played with a ton of people over the years including Earth, Melvins, Men's Recovery Project, The Need, High on Fire, Harvey Milk, Sunn O))), and Sumac.  He came through Denver a few times in the aughts.

This was a fun show with locals Munimula and 19 AD opening up.  It starts off a little quiet and the crowd is a bit chatty but before long he turns it up and it sounds good I think.  Enjoy.

Messa @ Hi Dive, Denver CO, 2024-05-16

Messa is an Italian heavy band. Self described as "Scarlet Doom".  It has a more delicate sensibility than what most people would think of when they conjure some doom to mind.  Not dissimilar to BIG|BRAVE who I posted not to long ago. Really loud to really quiet.

I always try to go see smaller touring bands that have come from out of the country and made it to Denver.  It is a undertaking and I appreciate it greatly.  My friend Matteo who is currently living in Italy insisted before he left that I go see Messa when they came.  I was immediately a fan.  Right up my alley.  Side note.  Maybe the most nicely dressed doom band I have ever seen.  No dirty converse shoes but fine leather boots.    They have all their stuff on bandcamp.  Go give them and other independent artists your support.

Pretty respectful crowd during the quiet parts.  I greatly enjoyed revisiting this show from spring of 2024.  Enjoy

The Muffs @ Ogden Theatre, Denver CO, 1995-04-25

 

Here is another of the 90s MarcR DATs,  This time a performance from The Muffs at the Ogden Theatre back on April 25th 1995.  I've never see a whole lot of Muffs recordings out there so I figured I would share this one.  They were part of a show with Fig Dish, and Veruca Salt.

The Muffs must have been up early on the bill.  The complain about all the +21 people being upstairs and the kids looking bored.  Kim has a lot of stage banter.    Guitar sound pretty good but the vocals are a bit buried.

The Nomads @ The Starlight, Ft Collins CO, 1999-05-22

 

I had only started recording shows about a month before this one.  The Nomads from Sweden were part of a killer bill.  The were on the road with The Quadrajets and The Hellacopters!!!  I've posted both of those sets before but I was give a listen to the Nomads set the other day and figured I needed to get it posted up too.  Even if it is only 5 songs from their set on this night.

In the days of recording to minidisc you only had so much room so you had to manage to watch the time and swap out for new blanks.  Maybe I didn't have enough media to record their whole set.  

Sounds pretty decent for an early taping outing I think.  Killer band too. After revisiting this I went back and listened to a bunch of their studio stuff.  The Nomads started in 1981 and continue on to this day.

Enjoy!

Jon Snodgrass & Buddies @ Ratio Beerworks, Denver CO, 2024-07-05

 

I've been a fan of Jon Snodgrass since the early aughts when I first saw Drag The River.  I worked backwards from their into the Armchair Martian catalog.  I saw Drag The River a whole lot over the years.  I am such a big fan we were going to have them play our wedding in 2008 but they broke up for awhile before hand so it never happened.  I did see them play at friends wedding a few years later.

I had already been planning on going to this Punk Rock Saves Lives benefit show anyway.  The line up was really great with Jon Snodgrass, Chad Price from Drag The River and All's new band The Chad Price Peace Coalition, SPELLS, Venomous Pinks, 1876, Middle Age Queers, and a some others.  Really fun day for a good cause.

Jon had messaged me the night before asking if I was coming out.  I said yes and he said "bring your tape recorder thingy, I think your going to want to capture something special tomorrow".  I thought that maybe him and Chad might play some songs together.  Wasn't sure.  Turn out Jon was joined at the end of his solo set by Greg Norton of Hüsker Dü fame for a set of Hüsker Dü songs!!!  Fun times for the small crowd that was their early.   

"This was an unrehearsed / impromptu set of  Hüsker Dü tunes" - Jon Snodgrass

I think this turned out pretty nice thanks to the tall umbrella that I used as a wind break and mic stand.

Glass Hits @ Marquis Theater, Denver CO, 2012-08-04

 

So this is a special collaboration between myself and Greg Daniels of DropToPop Records.

I met Greg as the proprietor of his cool little shop, literally 88 sq ft, when I heard about a new record store downtown.  Turns out Greg ha played in bands for years.  Including Vaux and Glass Hits.

I got to know Greg better and it turned out he is a hell of a general contractor.  We hired him to work on our kitchen remodel and as I got to know him I mentioned I had a Glass Hits recording.  He was intrigued but skeptical.  I made him a copy this fall and we got to talking about putting it out on cassette.  Well that time has come.  Greg made a very limited run of these cassettes.  Hit his shop on North Broadway near downtown if you want one.  

If you just thought Glass Hits was a cool band I have downloads here and it is steaming on Youtube.  Good stuff. The opened up for Obits at this show.  Enjoy.

Big|Brave @ Hi Dive, Denver CO, 2023-08-13

 

This show was from the 1st Ghost Canyon Fest in 2023.  They put on a stellar line up of noise rock, experimental, post punk. noise, shoegaze, and unclassifiable bands.  2024 was a ton of fun and they have announced that they are going to do it again in 2025.  Can't wait to see the line up.

Big|Brave from Montreal Canada are a tough one to pin down to a genre.  They get the experimental tag which works just fine I guess.  They are heavy but not in a doom metal way really.  Except for the volume.  Robin Wattie's vocals are beautiful and angelic with some poetic lyrics.  That will be draped over some very delicate quite parts and then it shifts and sounds like a recording of an iceberg crushing the steel hull of a boat but an 1/4 speed.  I like their studio efforts a lot but this is a band that you need to experience live.  

As I said before I love this room and I think this turned out quite nice.  Enjoy.

Supagroup @ Larimer Lounge, Denver CO, 2006-09-20

I was in New Orleans last year for Halloween and we were in a rideshare on the way to our hotel.  Friendly driver was telling us about some history and weekend happenings.  The conversation drifted towards music and he made some suggestions about places to see jazz.  I thanked him and said I was hoping for a EYEHATEGOD or maybe Supagroup show. Something cool and local.  He got excited that I knew Supagroup and he said he had booked them at his bar back in the day.  

I saw Supagroup a bunch in the aughts.  They toured with Supersuckers and other like minded rock outfits.  Two brothers Chris and Benji Lee started the band and it looks like they still play the occasional show to this day.  The conversation in the lyft reminded me I had some recordings of them and I decided to share this one.  

From a 2006 tour they did with The Giraffes.  In Denver they played with killer local support from Black Lamb and Krakatoa.  Really fun night.  Enjoy.

Whores @ Hi Dive, Denver CO, 2024-05-31

 

This was my first time seeing this awesome Atlanta noise rock band Whores.  I've been a fan of their albums for awhile now but some how never made it to a show.  This was a fun sold out night with Native Daughters and Suicide Cages on the bill.

Whores sounded great.  Setlist had "Bloody Like The Day You Were Born" on it but "Sicko" got played instead.  Will definitely go see these guys again the next chance I get.  Enjoy.

Zen Guerrilla @ Bluebird Theatre, Denver CO, 2000-03-11

 Here is a rad show that I found on some other site.  A nice board mix recording of Zen Guerrilla back in March of 2000 at the Bluebird Theatre in Denver.  They opened up for Nebula at this show.

I didn't like the track splits on the original file set so I fixed that and tagged all the files with the correct info.  Fun show.  Been listening to this one a bunch.  Zen Guerrilla at the height of their powers. Enoy.
