Young Pharaohs Part 2

Get your headphones and throw the boys of Young Pharaohs a few bones for this listening experience.

The trio is currently touring the west in a veggie oil powered school bus. Be sure to check them out when they return to Denver as the scene and music they bring is one that shouldn't be missed.

Thanks to Concerted Effort for chronicling the Shakedown event and to PORTALS for showing me a thing or two...or three or four.

Patrick Dethlefs Part 2

Patrick Dethlefs makes music he shouldn't be experienced enough to make. His new LP Fall + Rise is everything you want from a singer-songwriter - his words, voice, and musicians accompanying them couldn't get much better, yet the transformation from 2010's Stays the Same shows Patrick is not about to settle in his already above average songwriting. Fall + Rise is the next installment to the future of a long collection of work from a brilliant artist. The album is here and how about the beautiful watercolor on the cover by Paperbird's Paul DeHaven?  I still want a poster...
