Petals of Spain

For 9 months I have kept a Local Shakedown blog with audio from every performance. Petals of Spain's performance and interview archive was lost, never to be heard again.  :(

R.I.P. 8-31-12 Local Shakedown. and the deepest of apologizes to Petals.... :c

and thanks to the Holy Underground artist collective for stopping by before their launch party which was a faantastic.

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.
