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.
