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.

Pueblo Escobar @ Three Kings Tavern, Denver CO, 2016-05-28 {RIP Luke Fairchild FID}


Here is another of Luke Fairchild's bands.  Pueblo Escobar were active from 2015-2017ish.  Not very long but they managed to record an album and played a fair amount of shows.  I saw them at least twice.

This show they opened up for Karma To Burn and The Obsessed.  Hell of a bill.  Pueblo Escobar sounded great and the FOH person gave them a ton of echo and reverb and Luke was loving it.  He thanks them mid set.  Enjoy.
