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!

No/Más @ Hi Dive, Denver CO, 2023-06-02

 


Some fast, angry, thrashy, grindcore is really hitting the spot right now.  No/Más is from Washington D.C. and kick some serious ass live.  Would defiantly go see them again if I get another chance.

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.
