After spending 36 years on this planet, you’d think there would be certain truths that would be ingrained in my mind and person. Especially when the universe has tried so damn hard to teach me these things… No matter how nice the weather, don’t day drink before a late night show. No matter how...

After standing around for over an hour, listening to some drunk dude yell “MOTHER” over and over and over again, only to be disappointed by an aborted set at Fun Fun Fun Fest in 2011, I swore I would never buy a ticket to see Danzig again. Glenn could take his “Legacy”, soak it...

There were many things I didn’t know when I walked into Hi-Dive last night. I was ignorant and full of misconceptions. First off, I was unaware of Erika M. Anderson’s history with Denver. It seems she has been frequenting our Mile High City for quite some time, both as EMA, and with her previous...

I have to say I really hate all ages shows. As a kid of course I appreciated them, and when I was unemployed it really didn’t matter, but now that I’m old (and employed) I have to say it’s just plain annoying. Last night was the second show in a row where I had...
