Alright, I took most of last week off from the blog just to chill out, relax, and enjoy some quality time with my woman. I'm not mad for it. This week is going to be busy as well but I will do my best to keep everyone updated on what's good around this fair city. Let's start with Tuesday, shall we?
Octopus Project w/ Le Divorce, Force Publique @Hi-Dive
Dropkick Murphys @Fillmore
The Indulgers @Katie Mullens
The Coronas, Young Cities @Larimer Lounge
It's a short list but it has Dropkick Murphy's on it. I love these guys. I've seen them twice and they don't disappoint. Get your St. Patrick's Day on early with this one. You will be glad you did.

Around town Tuesday and what to watch out for later in the week
Alright, it's time for another Tuesday and another normally slow day in music. No worries, there is still a show or two to make it to. Also, I have decided to start letting people know of the big shows coming up in the week to give them more time to prepare. Also, please start recommending this site to everyone. If I get enough people to follow, I will work out agreements to get people free tickets to shows. Anything to make you all interested. :)Anyway, here is what's going on tomorrow.
Swans w/ Wooden Wand @Summit Music Hall
Del Tha Funky Homosapien & Ugly Duckling @ Fox Theater
One Night of Queen @Bluebird
The Mighty Jivesters host Jump, Blues, Swing open jam@ ziggies
Free The Girls@ Gothic Theater
Offcolor, Pierce Murphy Trio, Blue Collar Dog, Bowline on a Bight @Larimer Lounge
No Joy,SIX GENERALS, SHADY BABES @ Marquis
While there isn't a lot to choose from, you have Swans and One Night of Queen to choose from. If tickets weren't $30 for a cover band, I'd be all over One Night of Queen myself, but that's a bit much for my blood. Swans are an excellent choice too. They are pretty mellow but still put on a good show, and they don't tour much so see them when you can.
Shows this week to look forward to:
Wednesday Aloft in the Sundry @Hard Rock
Thursday Devotchka @Fillmore
Friday Ryan Bingham and Dead Horses @Ogden, Truth and Salvage CO @Larimer Lounge, Yerkish @Gothic
Saturday Morcheeba @ Ogden, Ice Cube@ Boulder Theater, Git Some @Yellow Feather coffee, The Landgrabbers @3 Kings, Reckless Red @ Rusty Bucket

Lets kick off this week right
I just realized tomorrow is Presidents day and most of you don't have to work. It gives you one more opportunity to see a show before your weekend is over. Unfortunately, there isn't much to choose from. I'm still getting over this damn cold and still feel like ass so I'm giving the condensed version. Cage The Elephant is playing at Boulder Theater. I had a chance to see them at the Marquis and do karaoke with them (sort of, they were singing at the Ginn Mill after when I was) They are a lot of fun. Good luck getting tickets because because it's sold out. Scalpers will hook you up though. Other than that, there really isn't much going on tomorrow. I'm going to get more rest. Peace out.

Still sick, so another quick post today.
Alright, I know it's getting late and you are curious as to what to do tonight. I promise you that the options are pretty damned amazing for tonight. Here are the places you should hit up if you can.
Head to the Toad Tavern to see Mighty 18 Wheeler and Rubber Planet. Both of those bands are pretty damn solid and a good time live. Bring earplugs though, because 18 Wheeler is loud.
Maceo Parker at Cervantes. This guy has been around for years and is a funk master. He's had the honor of playing with some of the greatest musicians around and it will be a treat to see him play.
Damion Suomi and the Minor Prophets are playing at the Bluebird. I had the chance to see him play at Larimer Lounge last year and he made a night of bad music well worth it.
Willie Porter is playing at the Soiled Dove. Not familiar with his music? Go check out the song Angry Words on You Tube. I'll wait. Pretty fucking incredible isn't he? He's also from my home state so I give him mad props for making it in this industry.
Mountain Standard Time at the Fox. If you want a bit of jam grass, this is the place to be. They have worked hard on getting this CD ready and my good friends at Evergroove say that the CD is spectacular. They could use the support.
Black Lamb at Bender's. This venue is a bit loud but Black Lamb will make it worth the admission. It's the original line up too so get there early.
I am not sure if I am making it out tonight but you shouldn't stay home.
Tomorrow there is some stuff going on but not enough to make it worth going out. Unless I've overlooked stuff and that's a possibility. Anyone want to bring me some chicken noodle soup?

Hooray for the weekend
The weekend is upon us and I have come down with something. That means my fun time will be very limited, if anything at all. Life sucks, but I'd rather be healthy. There is a lot going on tomorrow but only a few shows worthy of your ticket price. Here are the highlights. I'm feeling too shitty to go into great details.
Legendary River Drifters are playing at the Hi-Dive. I got to see them last year and they were pretty damn incredible. It's definitely one to put on the priority list.
My friends in Medicine Jones play at Herman's Hideaway as well. They go on early so it's possible to knock out them and LRD in one night. Think about it.
Sunday Girl is playing out at the Toad Tavern. I've heard their stuff and I can honestly say I'm a fan of them. Littleton isn't that far either. You owe it to yourself, in fact you can spend Friday AND Saturday there if you know what's good for you.
Mountain Standard Time is playing at Cervantes and I've heard nothing but good about them from the guys at Evergroove.
That's all I've got in me today. Hopefully I'll feel well enough to go out tomorrow, but if not please drink a couple for me.

Thursday already?? Where did this week go?
I'm losing track of my days. This work thing is for the birds but a necessity. I am looking forward to getting out to see more great music this weekend. While Friday is still a couple days away, this is what is going on tomorrow night.
Pete Yorn, Ben Kweller, the Wellspring @Ogden
Juno What?! @ Fox Theater
Thrifty Astronaut, Otem Rellik, Galaxies, and All Liver No Onions @Meadowlark
THEE OH SEES, PACIFIC PRIDE, ZEBROIDS @Larimer Lounge

Did you see there was a Prince Tribute with a Michael Jackson tribute opening? Check that shit out for real and then get back to me about who the true king of pop is. I've been saying for years that Prince won that crown but you may feel differently. Make your argument. Tell me a better album than Purple Rain that Michael Jackson put out. I dare you. Thriller? It was good but there were a couple questionable songs on there. Go make the comparison now please. (Well, tomorrow night actually) Alright, I think I'm going to make cookies. Have fun out there.

Around town Tuesday
It's another slow day in music and I've been busy so I'll give you the quick highlight. Monroe Monroe is playing at Soiled Dove and Sarah Mclachlan is playing at Paramount. Go see Monroe Monroe, you will get more for your money.
