Confluence

INTRODUCING CONFLUENCE  

Holy Underground's latest addition, Confluence brings a fresh sound to Denver while providing a throw back indie rock feel with mathy arrangements from seasoned players. I am an idiot and missed their TreeFort performance (sailor jerry!) but I will most certainly catch them May 7th at the Larimer Lounge as they open for Maps and Atlases. They have a few more sweet shows lined up in the next few weeks so go see what the buzz is about and check out their Local Shakedown performance and chat... am I saying Confluence wrong?

ABANDIN PICTURES PLAYS  

Denver knows to pack up the venue when this band plays.

There is an indie rock familiarity + experimental components with head bouncing polyrhythms and ambientish noise. The energy and professionalism of their performance left me wanting more (like a full show's worth). They know what's up.

Check them out April 19th at UI Sound in Boulder (<--I have seen the best shows there) and catch them in Denver...they sell all the tickets, so get on it!

RIP Local Shakedown performance and interview from PrettyMouth.

This unfortunately begins a small collection of lost local shakedowns...

Marie Litton is a Denver music staple and it was an honor to have her in the station. Plus, this band displays the up most attention to detail...it was delicate with purpose, soul grabbing, thoughtful, and just plain beautiful. 

I will never forgot our interview and conversation. It reminded me to do what I love now and forever.

SF1 and The Maykit

SF1 is a drummer, music producer, dancer, actor and emcee who is one hell of an entertainer and human. Backed by a talented crew of musicians and dancers, SF1 creates a fresh sound and experience that is smile & booty shaking inducing.

The Maykit swung by the studio for a second visit but this time I didn't loose the audio! Check out this talented singer-songwriter's records as they are perfect for a rainy, contemplative day.

Kristi Stice

KRISTI STICE PERFORMANCE AND INTERVIEW  

I first saw Kristi play a small studio space with Patrick Dethlefs and instantly fell in love with her, her vocals, and approach to song writing. It is playful, charming, smart, and enchanting. The recording and its content are of the upmost quality and I would argue could be enjoyed by just about every human with an appreciation for truthful music making. Stream and buy it here. "Red" def made me tear up and I wish "Courage" could play every time I walk through a park. So good. and "Green Grass" ah! I am glad I am revisiting this record.  

Check her out live April 19th at Little Tree Acoustic in Lafayette!
