The Colorado Music Thread- Denver, Boulder, Red Rocks, etc.

[nicolelmt]

I've only lived in Denver for 2 years but Red Rocks is definitely one of my favorite places in CO and I always take visitors to see it. Last time we went up there on a non show day we saw these guys literally on leashes running each other up and down the stairs, sweating and shouting, they were some serious bros, kinda reminded me of the ambiguously gay due from SNL. ANYWAY, I have been to 2 shows at Red Rocks, Bisco Inferno in 2009 and and Global Dance Fest in 2009. Probably going to Bisco Inferno again this year, it was a really fun, chill show. A lot of hippies in the crowd : ) All my friends go to Global and it's a huge fun party, but last year Sasha & Digweed and Benni Bennasi were headlining and it was a bit too much trance for me. I got tired of it. I'm super excited for Pendulum to tear it up for Global 2010! I'd love to see Massive Attack at Red Rocks, why aren't they coming here during their US tour? It really is the best venue in the country. I am so envious to all that saw Daft Punk at the Red Rocks in '07, and hope they return! Although I love techno, I really hope to see some live music, just so happens most of my favorite rock bands are long gone from the classic rock era. I think any band would be fun to see there, just going for movie on the rocks is so fun. You get the red rocks, bodies of water in the distance, the rockies, the denver skyline...and now for your viewing pleasure...

My boyfriend and I in line, pretty awesome views on the way into the venue




Having fun in the Red Rocks museum, located at the top of the stairs at the venue, great bathrooms and they have all this info on artists who played before and even have a movie about the red rocks history playing at all times.

You can see the Denver skyline in the distance. So beautiful!

sigh. when are they going to start having good shows again?

[canexplain]

well so much for tics at 9.33. Did you guys have any luck? I guess I will go for the front row ada then but its $50 ... Day in a life ...

It's only early April and a lot of bands haven't even announced tours. I'm sure there will be something worthwhile by the end of the year. Then the stars will have to align for the great shows, that the Coachella Message Board would be into, to be on Saturdays. It's a bit premature to think you're not going to Red Rocks this year based on the few shows that have been announced so far.

[Aurgasm]

what is the KCTL promotion code?

edit: triad


nvm.

Huh. I was coming in here to say the same thing, well, the it only being early April bit.

Chin-up kiddos, if history is any indicator you'll do just fine.

Anybody on these boards go to that mini-festival that was randomly sponsored by esurance? Had a really good lineup, definitely looking for a reason to go back to Red Rocks. Only show I've seen there was Daft Punk in '07 which was probably one of the craziest shows I've ever witnessed.

MGMT @ RED ROCKS 6/11/10

[stinkbutt]

I would actually love to see that, I wonder if I could swing that

It was Monolith. They said it is not going to happen this year "probably". Yea it was a fun two day festy ... DP in 07 at the rocks was fun. I was in the front row and had a blast.

MGMT @ RED ROCKS 6/11/10

this sounds kind of awesome. And I don't even like MGMT.

[nicolelmt]

What??? MGMT at Red Rocks would be amazing!

[weeklymix]

Passion Pit was impossible to see during Monolith. The Boulder kiddies eat this "whatever's new and cool" shit up, see: Pretty Lights and their Denver origination.

[J~$$$$]

Hahahaha in no way is that a contradiction.

Considering Denver doesnt really have a ''scene'' and the state of colorodo worships Dave Matthews, what should I say. But those kiddies are not going to like spending $50+ for this now will they.

No, but their parents will.

I just read that. They are going to do "Moving Pictures" in full. That seems to be the thing today: Tour and play the biggest LP that your band put out.
