Although Carlo Lio has released a number of EPs and singles on various labels, it wasn’t until last May that his first commercial mix (the highly anticipated SCI+TEC back-catalog blowout Past, Present, Future — Vol. 2) saw the light of day. That might tell you something about the priorities of this…
almost everything about the Weathervane Cafe, which opened last fall on East 17th Avenue, is as cute as cute can be. It’s tiny, for starters — the interior seats a mere nineteen people. But the interior is filled with eye-catching flower arrangements, vases and ornamental items (some of them for…
With cold-and-flu season in full swing, it’s time to cook up a big batch of homemade soup with all of its immune-boosting qualities — especially if you’re making your own vegetable stock! This cream-of-broccoli recipe (adapted from VegNews columnist Allison Rivers Samson’s version) will serve up a hearty dose of…
Well, look at that: Once again, you made it to the weekend, and that kind of hard work and dedication deserves to be rewarded. Why not treat yourself to some tunes and a little healthy insanity unleashed on the dancefloor? After all, when Monday comes around, you’ll be glad you…
Hold on to your pasties: Nationally renowned burlesque emcee extraordinaire and badass of all things theatrical Miss Cora Vette (aka Reyna Von Vett), has had an epiphany. “I was sorting through the music from all these different shows I’ve done — Leadville or Bust, Reefer Mania, a jazz project I’ve…
There’s only one person on the planet who’s mastered the special fusion of jacking acid house, funky bass lines and precise mixing techniques that made Terry Mullan famous — and that’s Mullan himself. A product of the Chicago house explosion that rocked the Midwest in the ’80s and ’90s, Mullan melded…
Winter finally settled in again yesterday, making pho the perfect pick-me-up, warming you from the inside and, if you’re suffering from the season, clearing up your sinuses (if you add plenty of jalapenos and sriracha). There are lots of pho places to choose from on Federal, but Pho Duy has…
A good stock can make or break many recipes — but unfortunately, it’s hard to get a good vegetable stock from a can or a box. But making it yourself is easy as can be (especially if you have a stock pot with a strainer, a worthy investment). This mock…
The sheer amount of talent in the city this weekend is truly dumbfounding. It’s like the promotional powers-that-be are testing the boundaries of our dimension by packing as much dance-driven energy into as little square footage as possible. Needless to say, if you’re looking for somewhere to shake your tailfeathers…
You’d hardly expect a Robert Louis Stevenson story to provide fodder for a Broadway musical, but then again, there are zombies in Jane Austen novels now, and Abraham Lincoln is hunting vampires. So perhaps it’s not surprising that Jekyll & Hyde was nominated for four Tony Awards, and has proved…
If you caught Rrose at the 2012 Great American Techno Festival, then you’ve got some idea of what to expect when the artist returns for an intimate, boundary-pushing DJ set this weekend (and have no doubt already bought your tickets). If not, then perhaps the Sandwell District imprint will ring a…
The happy hour at Dazzle has always been a thing of beauty: $3 craft beers, $4 glasses of wine and an array of foods ranging in price from $3.75 to $6.75, catering to both carnivorous and plant-based palates. There’s often live music in the lounge, and all the shaken cocktails…
Cornbread is right up there with potato salad and grits as a good, old-fashioned, home-style side. And yes, it can be vegan — making it a great pairing with a bean-based soup (last week’s Southwestern-style stew, for example). Adapted for altitude from Veganomicon, this version is a country-flavored favorite. See…
Are you ready for this weekend? Are you sure? Because there’s a lot on this weekend’s Dance Card, from tech-house darlings Pan-Pot to the illustrious and always brilliant Prefuse 73 to the persistent house stylings of Bad Boy Bill. Tommy Lee from Mötley Crüe, meanwhile, will be drumming up a…
It’s appropriate that the Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering — now in its 24th year — has moved from Arvada to Golden, known as “the gateway to the West,” because the gathering itself is a gateway into our Western past. “The way of the cowboy is slowly dying,” says spokeswoman Diana…
Fans of experimental techno know that Pan-Pot is not a reference to something that comes out of a kitchen; rather, it’s a German techno duo that’s named for a panoramic potentiometer — a switch that splits audio signals into left and right channels — and has been taking the production and…

Denver has plenty for the discerning plant-based diner, especially pizza. This town has so many good vegan pies that it’s getting increasingly tough to pick a favorite. One thing we know for sure: The vegan and vegetarian pizzas at Sexy Pizza are swoon-worthy, especially on that delectable, decadent, perfectly baked…
As chilly as it’s been outside, no one wants to subsist on salad and trail mix. This Southwestern-inspired stew has plenty of substance for keeping the body warm: potatoes, black beans, corn and carrots cooked in a savory, smoky chipotle-adobo broth that’s got the perfect amount of heat to warm…
Without a doubt, the biggest draw this weekend is going to be the first Slam show in Denver in more than a decade on Saturday night, but there’s plenty more on tap, including a brand-new monthly vegetarian dinner buffet/yoga practice/tai chi lesson/dance party that’s bound to bliss you out in…
Matt Rissi (previously known as DJ Sonar) is proof that you don’t have to be from a big (or EDM-centric) city to master mixing beats for dance floors around the world. This Iowa native has been weaving sets since the mid-1990s, but he’s never been exactly what you’d call traditional; his…
Denver has no shortage of places serving up delicious, locally brewed beers with solid food offerings — and the venerable, revamped Wazee Supper Club is one of them. The beer list is as big as (if not bigger than) the food menu, which features your typical bar offerings — burgers,…
