The five-cellphone, one-man band Steffest

Holy Fuck reach new heights with Latin

Experimental noise-pop krautrock act Holy Fuck is not the easiest band in the world to love. Hell, it isn’t the easiest band in the world to talk about — you can’t even say the name in polite company or on the radio. But if you love krautrock and wish the…

Autotune to the freak of dawn with Mizz BIS

It’s a Freaky Friday double-shot! Can you ever have enough Autotune? Not if this week’s Freaky Friday twofer Mizz Black Italia Spice is to believed. This may the Autotuniest song ever. It may also be the worst song ever, independent of its reckless overuse of Autotune. It’s a ramshackle, barely…

Come On, Let’s Go!

What better opportunity than Cinco de Mayo to return to the excellent 1987 bio pic La Bamba, about the life and death of one of rock history’s most promising and tragic figures, Ritchie Valens? “It’s not an official, citywide event, but the Cinco de Mayo celebration is that weekend,” explains…

Cedric Gervais at Beta

French-born, Miami-based Cedric Gervais crafts a brand of house that weaves threads of electro and progressive house into a big, shimmery, club-smashing tapestry of late-night abandon. On hits such as “Spirit in My Life,” Gervais displays a talent for slick, vocal-driven progressive house that would make fellow Frenchman David Guetta…

Blue skies invite you to enjoy a glut of bands at Glob

Great fliers don’t have to always involve meticulous design work, professional illustration and cutting-edge aesthetics. Sometimes, a little, earnest sketch is all it takes. As in today’s flier, which gives us a little sunshine, a little weirdness and a good vibe for a show at the Glob. Who among us…

Trent Reznor reveals his post-NIN project

Trent Reznor has revealed How to Destroy Angels, his first post-Nine Inch Nails project. It’s a collaboration with his wife, Mariqueen Maandig, formerly the frontwoman of West Indian Girl and it was mixed by Alan Moulder, a name familiar to industrial fans. So what does it sound like?…

If this is your brain on drugs, we want no part of drugs

We all remember those “This is your brain on drugs” ads, right? Featured a frying egg? Did that ever convince anyone to not use drugs? Yeah, we didn’t think so. Today’s video though? If the Partnership for a Drug Free America had this, they might have been able to claim…

Constellations Lady Coast EP heralds the band’s return

Matt Darey at the Church

Trance DJ, producer and radio host Matt Darey is probably best known for his 2007 hit “Beautiful Day,” but he’s been a force in the dance-music world for close to fifteen years: He was releasing tracks like “From Russia With Love” and remixing such trance classics as Binary Finary’s “1998”…

Lion Sized in three-part harmony is our flier of the week

This week’s flier of the week is not one flier but three fliers, one for each of the members of Lion Sized. This first randomly selected (we’re not aware of any particular order) flier effectively sets the tone for the rest of what you’re getting — a splattery, exploded portrait…

Denver Noise Fest to bring the, uh, noise this weekend

Noise lovers, rejoice! This weekend, Old Curtis Street (2100 Curtis Street) will be transformed into a celebration of all things noisy, experimental, grating and possibly hearing-damaging, courtesy of Denver Noise Fest (look for an interview with the festival’s curators Todd Novosad and John Gross in this week’s paper). Almost forty…

A bounty of free hard trance from Ghosh

If you like your trance hard, fast and as electronic as a robot’s dreams, you are really going to like Ghosh. The Denver/Dubai based DJ is dedicated to a strain of driving, energetic trance that’s indebted to the early days of European trance, when it represented the (barely) softer side…
