Shakedown on a Saturday Night

I love Radio 1190. Even the times I don't care for what they are playing at the minute, I appreciate their eclectic, subjective, and what I reckon to be, truly honest selections. I dig that they play what they dig, not only what might sell some ads. However, as you know, listener supported radio still has to pay the bills.

So be a good listener and get to the Hi-Dive on Saturday night for Radio 1190's Local Shakedown Volume 3 compilation Benefit Show and you can shake your own self down to some of Denver's most fabulous talents. I can't wait to hear the haunting and adrenaline-inducing new songs Bad Luck City has been recording performed live on stage. The much talked of Overcasters will be there to dazzle with sounds and projections. And for goodness sake don't get there late or you'll miss the long-awaited return of live music from Cowboy Curse.

Only $6! And kids, you can come too. It's a 16+ show.

cd release: Blue Million Miles

Blue Million Miles cd release this Saturday 9 August 2008 at the Hi-Dive in Denver.

Each time I listen to Blue Million Miles, I appreciate them even more. One part dream-like, one part driving, they kind of creep into your memory and stick. And you're not sorry for the invasion. There are a few Denver bands I've actually felt relieved to find out they were definitely recording their songs, so no matter what happens, they'll always be there for another listen. Friday, I'll be in line to get my own copy of Blue Million Miles newest release, Of Building Walls. And as if that weren't enough reason to get to the show, the fabulously amazing Bad Luck City and consistently spectacular, The Overcasters, will both be playing too. I'd not miss it.

Good Listening for Friday

I've heard a rumour that the Overcasters may be laying low from the live performances while they hole up in some place called the Starburst Factory, taking great care in recording the songs they love.

If you haven't caught them yet, indeed if you have, you won't want to miss:


Dig it.
