As usual, there are some upcoming shows that would be really cool to see.
Tonight, as Nick pointed out, we're all missing
Trampled by Turtles, which is obviously the most essential show of our time. So, basically we all suck.
This Monday at the Odgen is
Silversun Pickups.
Tuesday night at Hi-Dive we have
Blitzen Trapper. I'm probably going to this show. Anyone wanna join me?
On Wednesday, August 1 we have
Modest Mouse at Red Rocks.
And the kicker is that Band of Horses is opening, who are seriously rad. Check out
their page to download some mp3s if you don't have their stuff.
Then on Thursday it's a tough call between Toby Keith at Red Rocks and Kris Kristofferson at the Boulder Theater. Ok I'm joking. Well, only about Toby Keith, I would totally go see KK. But my point is that (nearly) every single day there is something worth seeing. Incredible. Ok let's continue:
There are a few other good Red Rocks shows coming up too, but the one I will definitely see is
Arcade Fire with LCD Soundsystem on September 17. This will be amazing.
Mickey Avalon is back in town at the Bluebird on August 17.
And one of the shows I'm most excited about and will absolutely go to,
Magnolia Electric Co. at the Bluebird on Tuesday August 28.
September 10th at the Ogden is
Devendra Banhart.
All the way in November (the 5th) we'll have
The New Pornographers at the Gothic down in Denver. These guys are really good and Neko Case is part of their band too. This is really close to being a must see show.
And to round things out,
Brightblack Morning Light is apparently playing four shows in Colorado over the next two or three months. I would go see them all, two in Aspen at Belly Up, which is an awesome venue, and two at the
Art Museum in Denver. The first show is September 28 in Denver, so mark your calendar.
**Update: BBML is only playing one date at the Art Museum, and it's October 26th for their Inaugural Gala, which is like 1000 bucks a plate. But I still have my fingers crossed for a show in Aspen, that'd be rad.
That's all for the concert update. There's probably a bunch of good shows I didn't mention.
Here's a good website for finding upcoming music. Let me know if you see anything worthwhile. I'm always up for a good concert!
