Last night was my 4th time seeing Pavement live and I was not a Pavement fan. Most Pavement fans will hate me for that statement, but it’s true. The first time I saw them was in Los Angeles for Lollapalozza ’95. Sonic Youth, Beck and even Hole were much more interesting than Pavement. The second

How hard can it be to find someone to go see Willie Nelson at Red Rocks? On Labor Day Weekend?! Harder than you’d think! It seemed everyone had plans, couldn’t get out or just plain didn’t want to go see the redheaded stranger this weekend. I began to regret purchasing two tickets to this show

‘it’s not us, it’s you…it’s these big, amazing rocks…’ If Scott Weiland is sober, he could’ve fooled me. Sober or not, I have to say Scott and the rest of Stone Temple Pilots are proving they arn’t just some over-aged rockers trying to cash in on a fading popularity. I only saw STP once in

At 33 years old I never have delusions that I will be the ‘young’ one at the show. Moving to Denver and being exposed to it’s 16+ music venues, I got used to hanging with the ‘kids’ pretty quick. Most of the time, I have no problem with it. I grew up in San Diego

“Thanks for coming out tonight, we know you have choices…Black Mountain, Lady Gaga…we’re glad you chose to come see us.” That is what Carl Newman had to say to the crowd gathered at The Ogden Theater on Wednesday night for The New Pornographers show. “Black Mountain were supposed to finish their set and then come see
