Like Moths To Flames at the Marquis 2/18
by Max Giffin [email protected] On February 18th, the Strength In Numbers or S.I.N Tour Shows played at the Marquis for a sold out crowd of heated fans. Opening for Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows, the headliners of the night, was metalcore band Like Moths To Flames from Columbus, Ohio. The band, signed to Rise Records […]
Anesthesia BLVD
by Tim Wenger Anesthesia BLVD likes to think outside the box. Besides the fact that they play an epically harmonic style of alt rock that invokes a tranquil calmness on its listener (varying vastly from the clichéd emo-ness or overplayed thrashness that defines most modern rock), they recorded their self-titled debut album 1800 miles […]
Josh Blackburn
by Tim Wenger Josh Blackburn is the solo Pink Floyd of Denver music. His music is a mixture of classic rock and adult contemporary with some trippy guitar effects now and then, and his voice tops the sound like a train tops a track–a low roar at times, but always in control, giving his […]
First Lady of Denver Bringing Back the Arts Initiative
by Chris Murphy As you probably know, high school dropout rates are at an all-time high in the Denver Public School system.

The Don’ts & Be Carefuls, Coming Into Their Own
by Charlie Sullivan It’s been a few years since I picked up on the Don’ts And Be Carefuls at a battle of the bands sponsored by Fort Collins’ Scene Magazine, (they ruled the night), and they’ve been on my radar ever since.

The Symbols
by Tim Wenger I’ve heard it said that you better know how to run a business if you want to run a successful band. I don’t know how the Fort Collins-based group the Symbols are when it comes to the monetary side of things, but if unfaltering organization, and jumping on top of opportunities […]
Le Divorce
by Allison Diekhoff [email protected] Formed in 2009 in the wake of founding members’ Kitty Vincent (vocals/guitar) and Joe Grobelny’s (guitar/vocals) own separate divorces, the pair, having both played in Façade ten years ago, joined up again to make music as a kind of therapy. What resulted is the appropriately named Le Divorce, an early ‘90s […]

The outfit has been performing at various local venues and has been on the road touring, most recently returning from a run of shows in Arizona. “We played at the Glendale, AZ Glitter and Glow Festival,” […]
