Obviously, we think Mojambus oughta play the Showcase to give it some variety!! Honestly, we're honored to have been nominated. . .thank you!
Mike
...i'd have to say "Without Tress"...totally original, monster sound.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 10:55AMMusketeer Gripweed just voted best blues band in Northern Colorado, just got a spot for the people's fair w/ a tremendous audition that led to an article coming out in the May Colorado Music Buzz, air time on 99 the mountain, 2 festival bookings in the Denver area, ask around, and the BUZZ is strong for this band.....never seen more energy from a band or frontman (who was the singer/frontperson/harp player who started Mojambus)so, ask the Goat, Jay from People's fair, or anyone else, and give them a listen....PEACE!

Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 10:57AMThat's what we're talking about, folks. Keep 'em coming!!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 11:02AMI'm not familiar with Jake Espy, but I really like Aaron Espy's songs about small town life.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 11:09AMI would LOVE it if you could include QUILLION in this year's Westword Music Showcase... is that DO-ABLE?
Thanks
@Suzanne: My bad. Not Jake. Aaron. Got a little excited there. Forgive me.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 11:20AMI'd love to see The Asbestos Tampons. Despite the gross band name, these guys bring it live. Plus its funny as hell hearing peoples reactions to their songs live.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 11:21AMPlease add Ascaris! They are the editors choice in this weeks westword. They will melt your face!!!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 11:32AMBlack Market Empire!!
I saw them at the Bluebird and they put on a great show!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 11:36AMI agree with Melissa G and Sally....Ascaris kicks ass!!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 11:44AMI think The Nod should be added
But I am biased too
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 11:49AMThe Nod are real up n comers...
& while the BRONZE made the list...they still need more fans. Check em out for yourself..see if you like em here.

I'm not the same Jamie that voted for quillion 2 times above.. but hell. I'd be cool with it.. good people
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 11:51AM
Gotta go with The Nod on this. They kill it. I absolutely structure my nightlife around their performances.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 11:52AMWe like to hear for Ascaris they are great band and everyone will enjoy and love their music. So add them to you list of MUST HEAR MUSIC....
GO ASCARIS GO
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 11:53AMAdd Ascaris to your revenue !! it will be awesome!!!! from a old lady who likes to rock!!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 11:55AMplease add Ascaris to perform that band rocks!!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 11:58AMHere's another vote for the Nod in the Doom/Stoner category
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 12:00PMPlease add Ascaris cause this is my step dad and he works very hard in this band and I love him very much. And he deserves to win.
Gabby
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 12:02PMTHE NOD!!
Seriously, they have all been at this game for a while. They are killing it right now
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 12:07PMPlease add Ascaris to the Metal category I love them!!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 12:09PMPlease add Ascaris to the Metal category. This band will rock the house.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 12:11PMAnother vote for Ascaris/Metal. Saw them in this weeks editors choice.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 12:13PMPlease add Ascaris to perform! That band is HOT and ROCKS!!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 12:17PMLeaving The Nod off this list is a total sham. Instrumentally, they shred. Vocally, prepare to enjoy getting yelled at. Yep, that's The Nod for ya. Add 'em!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 12:21PMVonnegut gets my vote for a band that should be included
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 12:24PMDJ Amen for the win. Dudes deserved it for a few years now.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 12:26PMI remember the boys in the NOD when they were youngsters. They were alway such nice kids. They used to cut my grass.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 12:32PMso this weeks critics choice...ASCARIS...THEY EFFEN ROCK!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 12:34PMMILLION $ MU$A!
NEW BEN FRANKLINS!
QUILLION!
I told you ASCARIS shoulda been on the list.
Amen deserves to be on it too for sure.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 12:38PMThe Nod must be included, without a doubt!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 12:42PMAmen is my dude. I like all the hip hop artists who made it. There all fire.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 12:45PMPut me down for Black Market Empire... Seen 'em they're a solid group. New wave sound, like the Cure the Sound Joy Division New Order.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 12:50PMI nominate THE NOD for the showcase showdown.
They rock my effin socks off!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 12:53PMHow about Munimula in the metal category as well? Without a doubt the most innovative heavy band in the scene.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 12:53PMAdd Ascaris those MotherF&*ks Rock.
Without them the show will not be that good.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 1:10PMThe NOD ROCKS! This is no list without this band.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 1:14PMYou guys should really add Ascaris to your showcase... They are such a great band....
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 1:16PMWell you already had my vote: Lion Vibes.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 1:22PMI like Ascaris too. Good show live. My girlfriend likes DJ Amen's mixes a lot. Those two get my vote of the acts on here.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 1:22PMASCARIS! saw em at be Kind and Grind..they Rock!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 1:27PMMojambus was started by four musicians who have continually improved the band, first by adding a terrific harp player and singer in AC and then, recently adding the wonderful bassist, David Foret. . .the band gets better and better and generates an honest respect and admiration for their music even if they're not out blowing their own horns, pretending they're something they're not, just committing to and playing this great music with integrity for people who listen wtih their ears and treating people with whom they're involved with integrity and respect.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 1:27PMC'mon...add The Nod. The lead singer is hot in that ginger-smart-guy kind of way.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 1:42PMAscaris get's my vote, they are the BEST!!!Wewant ASCARIS!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 1:46PMThe Flash Mob brings an amazing energy to the Denver "scene"!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 1:48PMAtcaris all the way..... Please add them to your showcase....
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 1:53PMWE WANT ASCARIS... WE WANT ASCARIS....
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 1:54PMI'd like to see Sounds Supreme and/or Amen in either the hip hop or non-traditional categories. Both of them can crush a set on KS 107.5 & then go rock an electro/baltimore/hipster set that has Diplo open, that's gotta count for something. They're the homies (and fellow Radio Bums), so I know I'm biased, but the random cats all over the world jockin their tapes and posting them on their blogs don't know these guys from Adam, so I know it's not just me.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 2:00PMDear Westword,
Please add LORDS OF FUZZ!
Thanks
Dana
Glad The Nod and Ascaris' email distributions lists have checked in. Good job street teams!
Seriously, Lords of Fuzz.
They constantly get overlooked in this town but play consistently great shows every month in a lot of different venues. Check out the tracks from Bruiser on iTunes. Rock.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 2:01PMOscar and the rest of the dudes from The Lords of Fuzz can bring it more than occasionally.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 2:01PM@diggler: Heh-heh. I said we were asking for it. Good stuff, man!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 2:05PMYeah I like DJ Amen. I've seen him live and check him out often. I also like the cd's and remixes he's done with DJ Sounds Supreme. I haven't seen Sounds Supreme live but I'm sure he's pretty good.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 2:08PMASCARIS should be included in the METAL category
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 2:10PMASCARIS should be added!!!! ASCARIS rocks!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 2:21PMAdd Boldtype! They are the best punk band in Denver.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 2:23PMThe Nod AND Lords of Fuzz should be considered. Both are rockin' bands
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 2:24PMLets face it the Nod and Lords of Fuzz both suck pretty bad, I have personally seen them both clear out packed full venues. As for bands I have seen that are not on the list are some of the most underrated in town: Black Market Empire, DeadBubbles, and Drop City. Oh and for DJ, DJ Uplifter kills it!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 2:24PMThe Flash Mob ROCKS! They would be a great addition to the showcase.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 2:26PMLords Of Fuzz is a MUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 2:27PMNo Bueno is my fave! They are off da hook!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 2:28PMWestword has said it yourself!
http://www.westword.com/events/junius-and-ascaris-1022641/
ASCARIS needs to be there!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 2:37PMI have to agree with DenverScener
Black Market Empire, DeadBubbles, & Drop City all kill it and I never hear much about them
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 2:38PMDJ Sounds Supreme!! Not only is he 1/2 of The Solution, Westword's best hip hop night 2008, he's on ks1075, the Colorado Scratch Academy rep, a Radio Bum, and has opened up for all the dope shows this past year.
Makes sense to me...
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 2:42PMAbsolutely the LORDS OF FUZZ!!!! Check them out.... http://www.lordsoffuzz.com/ Oscar and the crew are amazing! I LOVE this Band! Denver wouldn't be the same without them!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 2:46PMwhy the hate denverscener? name one time you've seen The Nod or the Fuzz clear out a venue. Facts, baby.
White as Night rocks pretty hard and they are pretty unknown too...
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 2:47PMDust on the Breakers for sure
Those guys are incredible, and deserve more publicity
the Nod
and don't forget about the
Highland Ramblers
soooo under the radar!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 2:49PMBoldtype is playing Punk On The Rocks, but they aren't on this showcase? Come on add them!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 2:51PMThe Flash Mob. Seen 'em a few times and they're solid.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 2:51PMI want to see Boldtype on this bill!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 2:54PMBlack Market Empire....This town needs them!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 3:04PMGritt Hitter all the way! I will totally show up if they are on the bill! They freakin' rock!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 3:11PMBook the Flash Mob - they kick a$$!
NN
@ Diggler - I saw the Lords of Fuzz follow Black Market Empire at the Bluebird about 6 months ago, after BME played there was probably 75 people there, after Fuzz played there were 10, half of which were girlfriends/wives. They are def not worthy of this bill. Those are the Facts.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 3:12PMAgree with the above! She knows what she is talking about! Please please please add Gritt Hitter, they put on the best live show in Denver. The crowd gets PUMPED!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 3:13PMboldtype is a good punk band, no reason they shouldnt be out there.
id like to see Lords of Fuzz!!! they're a blast!
Black Market Empire is awesome!
Add all 3 to the showcase.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 3:14PMI am glad everyones email distribution lists work but the fact of the matter is that Lords of Fuzz, Ascaris, the Nod, No Bueno and Flash Mob all need loads of work to even be listenable let alone nominated for this showcase. Metal is dead especially after listening to these jokes, and Flash Mob white reggae and funk is just objectionable at all levels.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 3:17PMSeen No Bueno a few times, they really bring it.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 3:19PMPlease add SOFO and Vonnegut. They are two of the best bands in Denver!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 3:24PM@DenverScener haven't heard Gritt Hitter have you yet? They have out-played most of your named folks...Playing with No Bueno at the Gothic on May 9...
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 3:26PMFrom what I gathered this was a blog to show support for bands you would like to see. Who gives a crap if they sent info out on email distribution lists? Obviously the people that like the music came thru to show support. If metal is dead to denver scenesters then thats 1 up for metal!! Take your bad attitudes, smedium shirts and skinny jeans to another site.
Don't be too scared to let the metal of Ascaris and the rock of the Nod melt your guyliner off!!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 3:30PMGritt Hitter is a new band that headlined their 2nd show and is playing the Gothic for their 6th! they are new and tearing up the Denver music scene!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 3:34PMPlease put SOFO in the showcase. Not sure why they were not nominated.
They ROCK!!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 3:35PMPlease put SOFO in the showcase. Not sure why they were not nominated.
They ROCK!!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 3:35PMyeah why are we (holley 750) not even asked to play?? oh yeah people hate us!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 3:39PMNo Bueno is my new fav band. They play Herman's on SAT, so much fun.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 3:40PMThe guys and girl in Gritt Hitter have my ultimate support. I schedule my outings according to their shows!! They throw down!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 3:46PMI say Musketeer Gripweed, reefer smokin music played by talented guys who love to have fun!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 3:46PMYou MUST have Gritt Hitter. These guys absolutely ROCK. Their local and up and coming. They've been playing some great local venues and they kick ASS!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 3:48PMLords of Fuzz get better every time I see them. Not always the same crap. It's good to see a band that can mature and change. Especially in this town!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 3:48PMhell yes !! holley 750 would destroy that show!! get them on it!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 3:50PMSofo & Vonnegut should be included, these are two of the BEST bands in dever. Come on Now!!
Gritt Hitter for sure! A must on any Denver line up!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 3:57PMThe Pickup Artist is amazing! There aren't too many bands out there with the energy they have live. They should definitely be playing!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 3:57PMTo play the showcase, it has to be Umlaut. Check their stuff here
www.myspace.com/umlautrocks
Overlooked and should be included:
Candy Claws (electronica/ambiant)
Arliss Nancy (alt. country/americana)
Wire Faces (rock)
And yes, Magic Cyclops
In fact, you should have Umlaut and Magic Cyclops battle it out for a spot at the showcase. I would pay $$ to see that.
isnt the pickup artist a movie ??
i vote holley 750
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:00PMyeah if youre a 14 year old girl you might like no bueno
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:03PM SO obviously you a missed a few "BOLDTYPE" " Suburban Hostage" "ONLY THUNDER" and "TAUNTAUN"
Just to name a few!
Have fun @ the Kiddie concert!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:05PMHOLLEY 750 .
those guys are the most under rated punk band in town.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:06PMPlease add Ascaris to your venue.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:09PMIf I had to choose 1 then Boldtype, 2 I would say Boldtype & Suburban Hostage!!! Check'em out!!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:10PMHOLLEY 750 SPEEDROCK !! HELL YEAH PUT THEM ON THIS BILL. EVEN WHEN IM SOBER I LIKE'EM
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:11PMPlease invite Ascaris to this event!!!!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:12PMI would love to see "QUILLION"!!! They freakin' rock!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:12PMYou gotta get the boys of Lords of Fuzz!!!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:12PMI would like to add QUILLION to this year's music showcase! Make it happen ... they're really good.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:13PMsatan commands you to put holley 750 on the bill
satan
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:14PMAdd Sofo. They are totally unique and always rock the house.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:15PMHow in the hell did Sofo & Vonnegut get overlooked?!!!! Two of the best rock shows in Denver- they gotta be in the showcase!!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:17PMwho else could possibly be in the punk cat but holley 750
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:18PMhell yes even satan wants holley 750
that gets my vote
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:19PMGritt Hitter, though I do enjoy the Nod, the Flash Mob and Workhorse. No Bueno is playing with Gritt Hitter so I guess I will check them out then, but have never heard of them before. Gritt Hitter is the best new band in Denver! Make it happen West Word!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:24PMSofo & Vonnegut should be included
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:25PMLords of Fuzz, motherF$#%ers!!! F$#%$# yeah!
SoFo is a great group. they should be playing the showcase.
wendy cook
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:34PMThe Fuzz are playing tomorrow night at One Eyed Jacks.
Let their set (not email list) decide.
To All You Talking Crap About Other Bands: SHUT THE f@#k UP!! Thats not the point of this thread and your taking away from the value of it.
Anyways, LORDS OF FUZZ baby!! True organic Denver rock!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:44PMSOFO should have won Alice's Almost Famous contest. I say put 'em up for this ballot.

Still got to go for Gritt Hitter, I saw the Fuzz with the Gritt, and I think the Gritt bring a better show. The Fuzz have been around are good, but they don't pump the crowd up like Gritt does!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:47PMNo Bueno

SOFO>>> why are they not on this list?
Please put them in the showcase!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:50PMHUGE oversight....where is SOFO??? They must be in the showcase. These brothers have sofo much talent..
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:51PMWho did Reno get overlooked? Didnt even notice that.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:51PMDave,
You blue it, where is BOLD TYPE this band is playing in red rocks in 2 weeks, it is a Colorado band that got nominated in Vegas. They have played all over Colorado.
I like reading your articles but I am thinking you are getting lazy?
An admiring fan and a loyal reader!
Holy crap, how did you forget Sofo and Vonnegut?
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:53PMBOLDTYPE, BOLDTYPE, BOLDTYPE
I love punk and they are Colorado's best.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:55PMSOOF SOFO SOFO SOFO SOFO SOFO SOFO SOFO SOFO SOFO SOFO SOFO SOFO SOFO SOFO SOFO
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 4:56PMLORDS OF FUZZ!

Man I can't believe that LOF and the Nod weren't on the list to begin with!
of the two, Lords of Fuzz...they've gotten so much better and so much more material within the last year. and those gogo dancers...DAMN they're hot!!!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 5:02PMSofo and Vonnegut please!!! Two absolutely AMAZING bands!!!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 5:02PMI can't believe SOFO is not in the showcase! They deserve to be on this list... I'm surprised they were missed..
SOFO For Sure!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 5:04PMThe Flash Mob may be objectionable to you, DenverScener, but not to all that packed or near-packed the venues that I have seen them play at. You sound like an elitist, and you should leave your conceited attitude offline. There's much more to the music scene here than the indie country club on South Broadway.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 5:07PMHow did Lords Of Fuzz get lost in the mix!?
I give the nod to the **Lords of Fuzz**
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 5:08PMLooks like some people have too much time to sit there and vote for their own band!
Bring in BOLDTYPE!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 5:09PMSOFO AND VONNEGUT
SOFO AND VONNEGUT

I'd really like to see The Alan Baird Project!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 5:21PMI can't believe SOFO is not on the list. Who are these judges anyway??
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 5:24PMI think the same person is making most of these posts. Be sure to validate each vote with the originating IP address and take only unique IPs in the vote count.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 5:25PMSOFO!!!! they are the ones that we want!!!!! love their music,
love their style.....actually i just all around love them!!!
they should definitely be in the showcase~SOFO, yep~they are the ones!!! =)
linda
No Bueno of course, they have the biggest dicks of any band on here ;p
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 5:55PMholley 750 man they kick ass!

Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 6:00PMMetal Sucks, so does Lords of Fuzz, The Nod, No Bueno, Gritt Hitter, etc. This music is crap, do you people have ears? Flash Mob is a Kinetix/yo flaco rip off, white funk, no thanks.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 6:01PMWith their "Trucker Punk"? Please, shits weak

Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 10:11PMAre you kidding me Lola Black? That band sucks and that chick can't sing for longer than 5 minutes without getting winded.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 10:22PMYou have to add boldtype! They are the best punk band in Denver!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 10:23PMHow is it possible that boldtype was overlooked? Add them to the bill!
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 10:25PMSofo & Vonnegut should be included because... in all honesty you would be doing the Denver musical community a dis-service by leaving them out. They rock for all reasons that are completely apparent, and we should show the best that we have to offer.
Posted On: Thursday, Apr. 23 2009 @ 10:26PMF**** your mother. LOLA BLACK KICKS ASS!~!~!

You have an email.
Re:
The electronic version of the ballot i received via Westword Insiders on facebook is missing the entire country section....
Don't forget that TYLER WARD kid who does those cover songs of those rap things.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 3:14AMi agree, TYLER WARD for sure!!!
coolest kid just ever!
Although I do have a crew and friendship bias in saying this, I think that...
DJ SABOTAGE
is consistently one of the most taken for granted DJs in Colorado.
I personally place a great deal of credence in being diverse. I'm not all that impressed by dudes that just do clubs or just DJ in a hip-hop groups, the ability to spread yourself around is huge to me. So let's look at Sabo's resume:
He's CONSTANTLY on the air at Magic FM in Colorado Springs radio wise.
He's in the club no less than 4-5 nights a week as owner, DJ, and promoter of various venues.
He drops mixtapes regularly.
He is BY FAR the best DJ in the state behind a microphone, as seen in his ability to win the...
2009 Scion Hypeman Competition.
He tours regularly as the DJ for Melissa Lujan's stage show.
And those are all just the highlights. I honestly don't know what else the guy can do. I freakin' love DJ Sabotage!!!!!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 4:19AMI hope you include the Alan Baird Project
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 4:41AMAlan Baird Project - They are ready to launch!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 5:37AM"Colder Than Fargo" had one of the best local albums in 2008 with "Gentlemen...Please!" This band is consistently overlooked, and definately worthy of playing the showcase.

Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 7:21AMOK. TYLER WARD BAND. http://www.myspace.com/tylerward
just won "Battle of the Bands" at Hard Rock Cafe in Denver, Colorado! That in itself speaks something. He's also had a song play on the New York radio just a month ago - and has worked for MTV and has an agent and is on the brink of making it - when of course the timing works! So, if you give him and of course his and his bands' incredible talent a listen - you'll put him right on in the top five right away! I know because I'm a concert pianist and an accomplished musician myself! I love their music - YOU WILL TOO. He has so many fans already - but just has to become known - in these sorts of ways that you are offering- THANKS! His myspace page has all his places to hear his stuff - it is http://www.myspace.com/tylerward
THANK YOU
Susan Ward
I think the TYLER WARD BAND would be a great pick for the ballot :) They put on a great show!! Very ENTERTAINING!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 7:31AMTyler Ward is the best. You will see. I'd drive anywhere to see his band and hear them play.

I agree with DJ Bedz. I think Sabotage, DJ Amen, or Sounds Supreme deserve to be mentioned in one of the dj catagories. All 3 of em are doing great things for the scene.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 8:51AMSinger/songwriter Jeremy Dion needs some attention, too. He plays throughout Colorado, the Northwest, and the Bay Area regularly and has been getting airplay with "Inside My Eyes" and "Back Breaking Wall."
www.myspace.com/jeremydionmusic
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 8:51AMThe ALAN BAIRD PROJECT plays an awesome live show! They would rock your world!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 8:53AMJeremy Dion is fantastic. Talented, original, and good-lookin' too!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 9:02AMJeremy Dion...
Creative, talented and rockin'!!
The Alan Baird Project. I guarantee Denver's satisfaction.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 9:03AM@Idiots: Do you really think that listing the band name a thousand times in your comment will get the band you're voting for more votes?
Also, do you really think that the admins and judges here aren't counting the number of votes per IP address? In other words, do you really think that spamming the comment section for your band from the same computer will give your band more votes?
Don't annoy the judges into including your band. That's bad form.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 9:11AMBOLDTYPE: Dude seriously they ROCK and if you don't have them in the showcase, then you won't be truly show casing the best of the best that Denver has to offer.
The showcase won't be complete without Jeremy Dion. So talented and will bring a musical breath of fresh air for sure.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 9:23AMHere are the top 10 so far.
Alan Baird Project
Ascaris
Boldtype
Flash Mob
Holley 750
Lords of Fuzz
No Bueno
Sofo
The Nod
Vonnegut
OMG you must add SOFO!! How could they not be on the ballot?? Have you guys heard them play?? They are great and totally deserve this shot! Please add Sofo & Vonnegut- both amazing bands and will not be a disappointment!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 9:27AMif you haven't heard jeremy dion's album, check it out. it's great.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 9:27AMWho is the DenverScener and where does he come off thinking he is the ultimate authority on whats good and not good in the music scene? The great thing about the Denver music scene is the variety and the uniqueness of the fan base! Maybe he should let this thread do what it was intended to do and allow people to nominate who they think deserves to play in the show. If he was so good at critiquing music he would be writing columns for a music based magazine and not on an internet blog...your rants are pathetic and annoying. Denver Scener- leave your fact lacking (LOF has never cleared a venue, they pack them...and no one in LOF has a wife so it would be difficult for the wives to be the only ones in a venue after a show) thoughts off of this blog and allow people to give their opinions freely!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 9:31AMLords of Fuzz should be on the ticket...definitely! The guys are down to earth and fun to be around. The have really grown in the past year and a half that I have been a fan. They are also the only local band I have seen to incorporate the trumpet, sax and banjo among other instruments into their music...the shows are never boring and each one is different! I love LOF!!!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 9:33AMThe Alan Baird Project is the best band. not only are they the best musicians in regards to talent. but they are the most humble and nicest people to talk to. very fan supportive and nice! LET THEM PLAY FOR SURE!!!!!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 9:35AMJeremy Dion. Jeremy Dion. Jeremy Dion. Great music. Great performer. Wow.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 9:45AMPut Lords of Fuzz on the ticket...great local band from what I have heard!!!

Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 10:02AMNo point going to the show if Lords of Fuzz isnt playing...add them to the ticket!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 10:02AMYou missed Lords of Fuzz...fix the error and add them!!!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 10:03AMIf you want a band with energy and a social conscience, not to mention incredible talent, you're going to want to include Musketeer Gripweed. Nothing but good vibes from these guys. Jason Downing is amazing. Bring them on board and share the joy.

Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 10:14AMTheres a band called QUILLION that I think should be added in this year's Westword Music Showcase

They've been working hard for three years now and are great live with a new drummer! Give them a chance to show what they've got--indie rock, rock, or hard rock categories. . .
Also, I was surprised not to see Cephalic Carnage on the metal list!
Thanks for listening!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 10:41AMI was hoping to see QUILLION on the ballot....
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 10:43AMBOLD TYPE with Drew Hutchinson's magic on bass will force bosh. These loco locals rock! Check 'em out.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 10:44AMBlack Market Empire has my vote. you've got to check these guys out.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 10:44AMTheres a band called Ascaris that should be added in this year's Westword Music Showcase
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 10:44AMIt's a toss up between Jeremy Dion or the Beatles for me.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 10:47AMI nominate DEADBUBBLES for the Westword Showcase
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 10:48AMPlease add “Ascaris” to your showcase you won’t regret it! Metal – the way we like it!!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 10:49AMi respectfully cast my vote for Black Market Empire
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 10:58AMI would really like to see deadbubbles nominated!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 10:58AMOkay, so I listed to the Alan Baird Project on myspace (that "Balloons" song). Sorry guys, but fuckin' boring, MOR been-there-done-that warmed over, and completely uninteresting. I can see how the OC/Grey's Anatomy tweener crowd would like it, though, so it'll probably sell a million copies.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 11:06AMYou guys completely missed the boat on Black Market Empire. They have headlined the Bluebird and the Larimer Lounge (multiple times)and are one of Denver's most exciting bands! They are playing the Larimer again on Saturday, May 2 if you want to see what The Westword is missing....
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 11:09AMThere seems to be a lot of metal fans posting for their fav band.... I have to say metal is not my typical style but Ive seen GRITT HITTER and they put on a great show, they are super entertaining and bring tons of energy... An awesome band to check out. Plus they are a pretty good lookn' group ;)
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 11:09AMJeremy Dion -- great songs, great singing. hello, headlining by virtue of opening perfomrances at swallow hill...?
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 11:09AMdeadbubbles!!!

Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 11:10AMI could get behind deadbubbles on this list. Yeah. Or Dario Rosa, or Jason Cain in the Singer/Songwriter category...
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 11:14AMI absolutely think that "Vonnegut" should be included, as they are the most interesting, and best, hard working band to hit the Denver area in decades! I know as I have been a follower of theirs for years! Other band come and go; "Vonnegut" is here to stay! Michele
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 11:17AMThe Alan Baird Project - The MOTHER of all Rock!

ASCARIS
TAUNTAUN
ADAI
Thanks for asking Dave!!!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 11:34AMI'd add Tequila Mockingbird for sure, the band is tight and the new songs are sweet!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 11:37AMHey mondogarage,
Just so you know, some people appreciate music with simple melodies, layered guitars, and lyrics that actually mean something. And balloons is the only song posted on their myspace page at the moment because their EP won't be released until May 1st. But if you knew their music, you would know that most of it has a bluesy, alternative rock feel.
Clearly, you don't know their music. If you did, I could talk to you about thier music-- songs like "Highway," "Sink This," "Dream," "Meet Virginia," and others-- and how they've created a new sound, one the fuses funk, indie, metal, country, R&B, southern rock, and dirty ass blues -- a product that blends their varying, individual influences into an explosively progressive and versatile alternative rock.
And yes, it's music they might actually play on the radio. In fact, their music has been picked up my 93.3 and 101.5.
BTW, nobody else is putting down the music of other bands. Please reserve your comments for when you actually know what you're talking about.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 11:41AMHere are a couple of bands I think are
worthy
DeadBubbles.....
Colder than fargo.....
Kal Cahoone..
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 11:42AMI was really disappointed to not see either Vonnegut or SoFo on the list -- they are both part of my top 5 in Denver!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 11:42AMI'd add Tequila Mockingbird for sure, the band is tight and the new songs are sweet!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 11:44AMI LOVE VONNEGUT AND SOFO TOO!!! THEY AREN'T ON THE LIST????

Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 12:14PMMight you add...B-B-B-B-BOLDTYPE?!!! They are sexy!!!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 12:16PMRachel, how long you been on the Alan Baird Project street team? Just because you're married to their bass player doesn't necessarily make you an objective observer. But carry on.
"And balloons is the only song posted on their myspace page at the moment because their EP won't be released until May 1st. But if you knew their music, you would know that most of it has a bluesy, alternative rock feel. Clearly, you don't know their music."
You're right, I don't know their music other than what I've heard. If you're trying to say their myspace song isn't representative of their work, maybe they should put a different song on their myspace page. They're clearly competent musicians, but I personally found "Balloons" to be entirely uninspiring the absolute opposite of a "new sound", is all. However, their street team and e-mail list work is to be commended, you're definitely on the ball.
I'm sure they're a perfectly reasonable live band, but c'mon, you're hardly a disinterested party here. Carry on, and good luck.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 12:20PMLORDS OF FUZZ are the best band I heard in my entire life, pick them!!!!!!!!

Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 12:35PMAscaris should definitely be there.
Ascaris!!!
Oh yeah, I just wanted to add...they're already on the ballot, but I've been listening to King For A Day's newest CD today, "Ghost in the Slipstream", and I think it's pretty damn good stuff. If you like classic pop, they're definitely worthy.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 12:36PMhere are two fresh bands for ya!
ACCORDIAN CRIMES
and
THE BEDSIT INFAMY
Great bands! You'll be hearing about them sooner then later.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 12:38PMAscaris for sure. Great music and a style that needs to be represented at the showcase. Enjoy!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 12:40PMmondogarage,
You are definitely entitled to your opinion. I respect that. I just feel like the Denver music scene should be one in which we respect the music of other bands and don't feel the need to put down the music of others. You won't hear or see me dis other bands even if their music isn't my favorite.
We all have our individual tastes and preferences. Obviously, I have mine, but I don't see why your comment was necessary. As someone stated earlier, the bands with the most legitimate votes (not spam) will earn a spot. Let the votes speak for themselves. Don't put down other bands.
Personally, I am happy and excited to witness the successes of other Denver bands even though (yes, it's true) I am indeed married to the bass player. (It would be pretty sh*tty if I didn't get on here to voice my support, don't you think?) You will see me (and The Alan Baird Project) out there supporting the shows of other Denver bands working the scene.
Maybe I got a little too fired up in my original post. I just got pissed because I didn't understand why you felt the need to put down another band's music. That's not what the music scene should be about.
Let the votes speak for themselves.

Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 12:55PMWhere is SOFO and Vonnegut? SOFO kicked a$$ at Alice 105.9's competition at Herman's Hideway, only to be ROBBED of the GRAND PRIZE! Everyone there knew they won, except the jerks behind the judging. SOFO didn't want to give up all control to them. Now's your chance to make it up to them and to Vonnegut.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 12:57PMVonnegut!!!!
Vonnegut!!!!
Vonnegut!!!!
Vonnegut!!!!
Vonnegut!!!!
Vonnegut!!!!
I'd really like to see The Nod get on the ballot
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 1:04PMEgo vs. Id for Indie Pop. I think it would be a mistake to not include Sonnenblum, too. Is there really another Tequila Mockingbird? Maybe someday that name will make a band famous. It didn't work for the Boulder based one I knew in the '80's but most of the old members went on to have respectable careers in music. Good luck to the new 'bird!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 1:05PMMy vote would be for The Nod they are one of the best stoner rock bands I have seen in the Denver area.
Chris
Before Rome is back, and they've got a new cd. They need to be there.

Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 1:11PM"Maybe I got a little too fired up in my original post. I just got pissed because I didn't understand why you felt the need to put down another band's music."
And I will say the same.
If I can give one suggestion, however, it is this, and take it for what it's worth. The impression I got from your post is that the song on the band's myspace page is not actually representative of their work, stylistically (re your statement that "But if you knew their music, you would know that most of it has a bluesy, alternative rock feel."
If that is the case, the band should probably make sure that the first song prospective fans and listeners ever get to hear is something that the band feels is truly representative of them, and not something that's a departure, lest people get the idea that they may be one kind of band, when they're something else entirely.
As for putting down another band's music...well, I actually do write the odd music review, with no malice at all intended, I'll just say two things and leave it at that. One, I actually do write music reviews, and thus I'm not really capable of giving anything short of an honest opinion. Emphasis on "opinion". Two, if someone puts out their music in a promotional effort, such as linking to a band's myspace page in an effort to get people to listen to it, it's unreasonable to expect that everyone who likes it will publicly praise it, while those who don't are expected to keep their thoughts to themselves.
But seriously, good luck to your band and to all Denver bands. I'll echo that the overall music scene in Denver is simply wonderful, and 99% of the country would be proud to have a scene as good as ours for their own. On that note, let's return the thread to the regularly scheduled hypage.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 1:12PMVONNEGUT please and Sofo. These two bands have a sound that is un doubled in Denver!!!
Vote Vonnegut
Vote SOFO
Good luck!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 1:13PMThe Outta Contollers and Forth Yeer were nominated in the "punk" category and BOLDTYPE wasn't? The Outta Controllers and Forth Yeer are decent bands but they're not punk rock at all...more like sleazy 80's rock and roll.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 1:13PMBEFORE ROME!!
played some kick ass shows in 07, took a break for a year and now their back and rocking it harder than before!!!
Tyler Ward, please?
He's my favooorite! I am now obsessed.
Please?!
RENO DISTORTION!
RENO DISTORTION!
RENO DISTORTION!
BEFORE ROME! Their back and would rock this show!!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 1:18PMHey I am loving the Alan Baird Project and am thinking that they are flippin amazing!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 1:23PMBEFORE ROME needs to be playing this show. GREAT music, GREAT live performance. You will not be let down, I PROMISE.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 1:25PMi sank molly brown has more talent in the drummers pinky finger than most of the indie/post-punk rock bands on your list.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 1:29PMI want to see Quillion in the fest. You introduce me to this fine band, then do not show them again>>
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 1:29PMThe Harlows Should play the Showcase! They are new to the scene but are very talented. You won't be disappointed!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 1:35PM
The Denver City Saltlicks for the Americana/Roots!!!!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 1:36PMWhat about the The Denver City Saltlicks? They are bluegrass I think. Well, they are everything I guess. Put them under Roots! They are so good!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 1:39PMIm gonna hafta say the Alan Baird Project for this one. BALOONS HAS SPOKEN TO ME! totally a powerful song.. straight up!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 1:57PMJeremy Dion's music is amazing. He's a great guitarist and singer, and his lyrics are beautiful. He should definitely be part of the showcase.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 2:02PMIt's too bad there's not a comfort rock category. You could add the world's greatest comfort rock band. Denver's own SWEATPANTS IN PUBLIC.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 2:07PMI would love to see The Alan Baird Project play at the showcase. They are so so talented and everyone would love them.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 2:20PMI started attending Sofo's concerts as a friend. Now, as a fan.
I attend 90% of their shows, and become more impressed each performance. If not, I wouldn't go, and neither would everyone else casting their vote for this local band. Maybe another earful of "Nothing will please 'til I reach the seas" might change your mind. Try track 11.
"Music is one of the best ways to enjoy the present. It's not much fun to look forward to hearing music or to remember what a song sounded like last week, but music right now absorbs you and places you in the present moment."
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 2:26PMOne of the best and most talented bands in Denver is SOFO. I'm really disappointed that they were not nominated and asked to play the showcase.
Other overlooked bands:
Vonnegut, Quillion
Vonnegut and Sofo Should be included, I Love Them!!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 2:33PMHere's a vote for Ego v. Id, SOFO and Vonnegut.
Any reason foma* didn't make the ballot?
This vote is for Ben Jordan & The Heathens. Thanks for asking.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 3:05PMLORDS OF FUZZ are all the BUZZ! They are awesome!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 3:36PMDeadBubbles...They work hard and deserve the stage.
Thanks.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 3:36PMSOFO all the way! I can't believe they were missed??
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 3:45PMBEFORE ROME!!!!!!
these guys are amazing live!
EGO VS. ID is essential to this movement. Those guys are the best thing to come out of Colorado in a LONG time.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 3:57PMI have a question. Did someone in Boldtype fu** your mother? How is it that everyone of the bands on this list for punk have opened and will continue to open for Boldtype yet they are not on your list. We will be seeing just a few of these bands at Redrocks....oh yeah and Boldtype. I'm going to find out who the dumb mother fu**er that made this list is and send all the members of Boldtype his/her mothers address so they can give you what I can only imagine being two very stinky middle fingers up u fu**ing douchbag!! Oh, and to your boss. The person that made this list makes you, the westword, and all of your employes look like the dumbest fu**ing people related to the music industry. From someone that works for a company that advertises with you I am suggesting to not only my boss but to anyone else that I come in contact with to pull all buisness with you untill I see this morons head on a stick or Boldtype on the list. Peace, dumbas*
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 4:03PMIt won't be a Showcase without The Alan Baird Project!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 4:17PMEgo VS Id !! great band.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 4:26PMSOFO SOFO SOFO!!!! IF they are not in...I am boycotting the Denver music scene!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 4:35PMWOW!! I love the Alan Baird Project!!! Keep it coming!
You can't leave out BOLDTYPE!! Have you seen these guys? Amazing. Made me switch from country to Punk Rock. They are the best Rockers in Denver!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 5:02PMYou can't leave out BOLDTYPE! Have you seen these guys? Amazing. They are the best Punk Rock Band in Denver! They enticed me to switch from country to Rock! My vote is for BOLDTYPE!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 5:04PMIf you don't put BOLDTYPE on there "the best of the worst is yet to come!" They are amazing!
Drew is the bomb!
BTW - Rompin Richard is a hottie.
Don't miss BOLDTYPE at Red Rocks!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 5:16PMNo show is worthy of an audience without "COLDER THAN FARGO". The absolute best.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 5:33PMEgo vs Id should play for sure. such a talented group- guaranteed to put on a show you won't forget.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 5:34PMYou have to include Ben Jordan and the Heathens! Ya just have to!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 5:48PMEgo Vs Id Kicks Ass! Get them in this showcase they will melt your face.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 6:03PMEgo Vs Id
Their shitty shows are still good shows
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 6:16PMi think that ego vs. id should play they've got a really good fanbase and they put on an awesome live act.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 6:18PMthanks for letting us, see us on the list!
THE NICOTINE FITS
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 6:22PMSoFo and Vonnegut should absolutely be included in this! I'm shocked they are not!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 6:26PMWhere is Ascaris? Ascaris needs to be in the metal category.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 6:26PMThe Flash Mob is an amazing upcoming band that has such a unique sound, it is appealing to every music lover. The different tones and styles bring an amazing addition to the Colorado music scene. I have never been a huge fan of listening to newer bands, however this band is wonderful, and I loved them from the start! Please consider them for the Westwork Music Showcase and feel free to visit them at theflashmob.net! Sincerely, Jennifer Owen
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 6:26PMBen Jordan and the Heathens! Great tunes, great people.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 6:43PMWhat about Lola Black?? They are pretty sweet ya know? Maybe best new band???

Ascaris is the band that needs to be added to this show!!
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 9:08PMHow can you have a metal category without ASCARIS? Put them on the showcase
Ego vs. Id - these guys are incredible - finally, intelligence with balls.
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 10:09PMVonnegut deserve to be in more than anybody. They won the Westword award for "Best Modern Rock Band" last year, and than you don't nominate them this year. Thats gotta be the biggest mistake on this ballot. All they do is continually play great shows to full rooms, and write amazing songs. Please add them
Posted On: Friday, Apr. 24 2009 @ 10:12PMThe Nicotine Fits, for sure. Love their sound, and their lyrics blow me away.

I also enjoy THE PICKUP ARTIST, VONNEGUT, and JEREMY DION! All very different styles but all great music.
Jeremy Dion needs to be experienced. His infectious energy, keen insight into the human struggles and tender passions propel one into spiritual spirals. Check this man out!!!
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 10:15AMNO BUENO! Also going to Hermans tonight to check them out!!!

Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 10:57AMI think having Vonnegut would add a great deal to the selection of music. They would be a solid choice....
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 11:03AMI think Vonnegut would be a great band to add to the event...It's a band I always looking forward to hearing...
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 11:08AMThe Alan Baird Project is by far the most talented and powerful live show in Denver.
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 11:09AMhave you ever heard THE ALAN BAIRD PROJECT??????

Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 11:24AMVonnegut and SOFO are must haves!!!!!!!!!!
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 11:37AMPlease include Vonnegut. They are an amazing local band and deserve to be nominated!!
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 11:43AMHow about Jeremy Dion - Very talented singer, guitarist and songwriter. Very personable with audiences and terrific storyteller. Eclectic Folk/rock/bluegrass blend. His first CD, Finally, is out now.
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 11:51AMYou Know Before Rome's Music makes you want to puch a baby in a face because its so Good!!
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 11:53AMVONNEGUT and SOFO are a MUST!!!! If you have ever heard them, you know there worth a vote!!!
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 11:56AMTHE ALAN BAIRD PROJECT is my favorite band in the country. Honestly, it would be a shame if they were not on the showcase. I thought they already were!

Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 12:16PMPlease, please, please add Vonnegut and Sofo!!!
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 12:18PMThanks for letting us vote. The one band I would like to see in the showcase this year is The Alan Baird Project.
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 12:24PMYou missed BOLDTYPE--they belong is a list of the best in Colorado.
BOLDTYPE rules!
I know that you missed out on Ego vs. Id. There is so much going on within and around this band. They have a sound like no other and have the ability to make the things they play "sound exactly like how it should be played" if that makes any sense. Anyway, do what's right for all of us...
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 1:59PMare you serious, this is a fucking joke. obviously Vonnegut and magic cyclops are the only legit bands on this list. Ya talk shit but it is true. all you other bands that are padding your stats, are truly ripping people off and forcing your lame act onto the public. get good and maybe get nominated.

Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 3:01PMIt's gotta be deadbubbles! long live rock&roll!!!
plus, the guitar player is really cute!
Jeremy Dion! This guy is an amazing songwriter who sings soulful lyrics while strumming a mean guitar.
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 3:20PMPlease include Vonnegut and Sofo in your concert lineup this summer!
Thanks!
BOLDTYPE should be on here for punk category (and should have been the past few years).
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 5:47PMDefinitely Sofo, they are so talented and have really great fresh new music that totally rocks!
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 5:48PMI have been following Colder Than Fargo for years. I enjoyed them in the beginning and still love them today!
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 5:59PMHoly fucking God, people. I can't believe of almost 850 comments, I'm the first to say it...THE DENDRITES!!!!! At this rate, this comment might very well be their only vote on this blog. Despite that, you (judges) know they deserve to be on the ballot and in the showcase. So do it then.

Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 8:45PMWhy the alan Baird project isn't on the bill really bothers me. They have been playing Denver under a year and I have seen them countless times and never left unhappy. they are amazing and finally have a new cd coming out that sounds AMAZING, they deserve this. They work so hard.

I love the internet. Facebook, then to myspace, then to bullitins then to westword just to vote. But its all worth it because this band FUCKING rules. I love THE ALAN BAIRD PROJECT. Best local band live. You will hear anything from Rock, indie, alternative, blues, hip hop and just plain bad ass come from these guys live. They know how to please a crowd of any nature. No one ever leaves not hearing something they didnt like. I love them and are by far the best local band and soon to go national. I dont understand why they arnt already.
Love,
Briand:)
Boy i sure love The Alan Baird Project:)

The Alan Baird Project please! I may be in the band, but I ain't too proud to beg! But serious, there are so many great bands on this list as well. We've only been a band for about a year and a half and we had the opportunity to share the stage with so many of the bands on this list. So much talent and so much dedication! I love the denver music scene! I tip my afro to all you bands.
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 10:28PMI just saw THE ALAN BAIRD PROJECT play the garden theatre on the UNC campus. They impressed me somthin' ferocious. Good skills individually, but also the restraint to make it all mesh together. great band.
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 10:37PMTHE ALAN BAIRD PROJECT IS LIKE THE MOST AMAZING EFFERVESCENT HEALTH FORMULA KNOWN TO THE WORLD> Their music could cure seronegative spondylarthropathies!!! Pretty amazing stuff.
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 25 2009 @ 10:58PMTO NOT ADD BOLDTYPE WOULD BE A CRIME AGAINST ALL THAT IS AWESOME. THEY ARE THE BEST PUNK BAND IN DENVER AND ITS ABOUT TIME THAT PEOPLE START RECOGNIZING IT!! PLEASE ADD BOLDTYPE TO THE BALLOT!!

The Nod should definitely be on the 'stoner'drone' ballot!
Hell, Krakatau is nothing more than a cover band now and Under the Drone is done.
That leaves two spots: One for The Nod and one for Lords of Fuzz
Both are very deserving of that
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 10:45AMGoing to a Lords of Fuzz concert is like a party!!
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 10:46AMI agree with everyone else Lords of Fuzz should be in the ticket ballot.
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 10:48AMLords of Fuzz really know how to work a crowd, they are so much fun to watch.
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 10:54AMSofo should be added to the list if you want some original rock and impressive talents.
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 10:58AMLords of Fuzz music is like no other, its great.
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 10:59AMThe guys of Lords of Fuzz can really make music come to live.
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 11:00AMEGO VS ID should be included for their dynamic and passionate style that is raucus , rowdy and forthcoming...don't miss em' they the BIZOMB!!!
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 11:01AMBoldtype are an awesome band, and should be included
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 11:05AMVonnegut is one of the best local bands I have heard. I can't believe that they were left off the list. :(
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 11:37AMI will not miss this event this year if Alan Baird Project is on the bill. This us going to be a kick ass show

The Nod deserves to be on the ballot. They put on an awesome show, lyrics are great and the band rocks!!
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 12:23PMThe world would be a much better place with more EGO VS ID!!!
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 1:37PMI have never been more impressed with a Denver band than with Vonnegut. Please add them.
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 1:57PMVONNEGUT and SOFO should be on this ballot for shizzle!! Both bands are extremely passionate about their music and it certainly shows on stage...give them a chance and they will rock your world!!
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 2:07PMEgo vs Id and Ukulele Loki's Gadabout Orchestra would be great additions to the Westword Music Showcase!!!
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 2:21PMThe Alan Baird Project are a great band. I think they should be showcased. Love them!
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 2:26PMJust saw THE ALAN BAIRD PROJECT in Greeley yesterday. My new favorite band! Of course they should have a chance!
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 2:27PMI have a major Broner in my shorts for The ABP.
Alan Baird Project is one of my favs.
My vote is for Lords of Fuzz...they have talent and really bring something new to Denver's music scene!!!
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 2:37PMI have never heard of the alan baird project before this blog. Just checked them out on myspace. I really couldnt believe the production quality. This band is going to be successful.
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 2:39PMLords of Fuzz...they would be the best addition to the show
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 2:43PMThe string leaves your hand but your hand holds tight. We lose a tear as his balloon take flight and we wonder, where all balloons go?
-Alan from The alan baird project
Alan, thank you for bringing back the singer-songwriter vibe to this emotionally barren dance music scene. You have already won!!!
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 2:43PMYou definitely missed the beat...add Lords of Fuzz and you will be back on track
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 2:44PMTHE PICKUP ARTIST are so under-rated. Put them on the bill!!!

I just came to put one vote in for a band I like and I read through some of this. And I think the guys from lords of fuzz are going to run out of names to use to keep voting for themselves haha. No offence.
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 10:03PMSoundRabbit is on tour right now, playing shows with the likes of Keller Williams at colleges and clubs all over the country. They are one of the best bands in the colorado Frontrange, and certainly deserve a spot in the showcase
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 10:04PMBen Jordan & The Heathens should absolutely play at the very least Ben Jordan solo
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 10:08PMI'd like to nominate my friends Ego vs. Id cos they're awesome and you're missing out if you don't have 'em......also myself or my band The Heathens
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 10:10PMDear westword,I think you forgot to put the alan baird project on the list. Everyone makes mistakes it's ok.
Thanks
Kenny
Ben Jordan for sure!!!! Beautifully haunting and soul wrenching music, check him out!! Although Ego Vs. Id rocks as well...
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 10:12PMEven though their name is very close to sounding like another one (I won't say who haha) I still love this band. Extreamly talented boys. And all good gents. The Allen Baird Project. I have cast my vote!
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 26 2009 @ 10:16PMThere are so many great bands in Denver now, but my favorite is definitely "Vonnegut" Those guys really are a great band.

I'm awake and here to say I love the project.
That is... THE alan baird project

That's all there is to know, really.
Just saw Quillion live over the weekend and think they should/could be considered!
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 8:21AMBen Jordan has such an undeniable talent that to leave him and/or Ben Jordan & the Heathens out would be...well, just wrong. This group is anti-average; and the sounds are unique. You really owe it to yourselves to get them in.
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 9:05AMHow about Sofo and Vonnegut. Both passionate, great bands. Thanks.
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 9:06AMSofo & Vonnegut! They rock, not to mention they are a great group of guys. They love playing music and entertaining, it really shows in their stage presence! Let me spell it out:

Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 12:26PMI am here to support one of the best local bands that I know which is the Lords of Fuzz.
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 12:31PMBefore Rome puts on one hell of a show!
myspace.com/beforerome
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 12:32PMI didnt like the comment someone wrote about Lords of Fuzz voting for themselves using various other names...this thing restricts people from voting more than once from the same email address. Just think- maybe they actually do have a large fan base! It might be that people do not show up to every show but they still like the music...I know personally that the guys in LOF have fans in many different states! I am voting for Lords of Fuzz so get over it.
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 12:54PMYou can vote over and over from the same email address.
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 12:56PMIf you have never heard of Lords of Fuzz check them out at myspace.com, lordsoffuzz.com or their new facebook fan page. They have talent and should be included!
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 12:57PMNot sure if anyone has heard of Digger Trends from Boulder but they played at One Eyed Jacks this weekend (with LOF) and really rocked...you can add them and Lords of Fuzz
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 12:59PMNot sure why people are hating on Lords of Fuzz...but I would love to see them at the show...and it seems like a lot of other people would too
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 1:00PMI agree that Digger Trends and Lords of Fuzz should be at the show
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 1:01PMCasting my vote for Lords of Fuzz...a friend had me listen to their music on myspace and it is a really cool sound...very interesting songs
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 1:03PMI first heard of Lords of Fuzz when I was visiting a friend in Colorado...I am back home in New Zealand now and I continue to listen to their music...my band really likes their songs...definetely here to support them and cast a vote for LOF
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 1:06PMLords of Fuzz...definitely. In case you havent heard them live, they play May 9th with The Whore Moans and the Nicotine Fits at Larimer Lounge...doors open at 9pm and its a $10 coverage. Let their music and their personalities make the decision
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 1:09PMLords of Fuzz...those guys are quite attractive and have amazing music with fascinating lyrics
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 1:11PMThe Alan Baird Project! It's ridiculous that they aren't already on the ballot.
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 1:11PMI literally just heard of Lords of Fuzz yesterday...stumbled across their facebook page and then went to their myspace and website. They seem really interesting and have awesome nicknames. i would love to see them in concert and the showcase would be an awesome chance
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 1:13PMLords of Fuzz please. I love the song needles...sweet lyrics
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 1:14PMA friend of mine from work played me the song Horseshoe by Lords of Fuzz...it is hilarious and oh so true for me. Add them to the showcase so I can hear that song in person and sing along!
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 1:16PMI love how many people came out to support Lords of Fuzz...I have friends in Virginia that listen to them and I know they are going to come and post their support...here is my vote for LOF!!!!!!!
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 1:18PMJust to be sure- you got Ben Jordan & The Heathens.
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 1:23PMEGO VS ID, they hold an unprecedented style of rock and roll paralleled with outstanding stage presence makes them a perfect selection for the Music Showcase. A must see show!
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 1:26PMBen Jordan & The Heathens (feat. Jack Leahy on Slide Geetar) are the best.
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 1:30PMYou know, I have to agree: Lords of Fuzz and Boldtype are both terrific, and deserve inclusion. I'll think of a few others, I'm sure.

Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 8:16PMBen Jordan and the Heathens!!! the real deal.
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 8:37PMI love the Alan Baird Project. There is always something new and interesting to listen to in their music. They go from pop to hip hop to country. Great musicians...they really know their stuff.
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 9:41PMsomething tells me lords of fuzz and no bueno are going to suck. i don't know, maybe it's just me. oh, vote deadbubbles.
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 9:45PMi don't want to get into a pissing match, but something tells the alain baeard project is going to suck. not sure why. maybe it's something in the spelling? btw, deadbubbles.
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 9:47PMI do want to get into a pissing match! And I'm willing to bet that Nick Fox from the Alan Baird Project can piss farther than anyone! And I don't have to be anonymous to say it!
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 10:00PMSo, I just listened to a lot of the bands on this list...and there is a lot of crap. I might be biased because I'm in The Alan Baird Project. But the one band that stood out to me was Ego vs. ID! Very interesting music. If you guys ever wanna hook up and play a show together, let me know.
SO, my votes are....
The Alan Baird Project
Ego vs. ID
Vonnegut
The Pickup Artist
P.S. I haven't seen The Rouge on this list at all! Maybe they are already on the ballot, but they are an amazing band.
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 10:13PMThe Pickup Artist will blast your face off! The showcase needs this kind of energy. Put them on already.
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 10:55PMAlan Baird Project
The Pickup Artist
C U Friday Fellas!
Clearly, Ben Jordan and the Heathens - what are any of you people doing with your time?
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 11:00PMYou need to include 'ASCARIS' to the Westword Music Showcase! How can you represent Denver without them!
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 11:04PMThe Alan Baird Project took the shape of a unicorn last time i saw them!
Posted On: Monday, Apr. 27 2009 @ 11:42PMEgo vs. Id brings the kind of talent and committment seldom seen. you have got to get out to hear them, they are a real treat.
Posted On: Tuesday, Apr. 28 2009 @ 8:08AMTwo of the most talented up and coming bands are definitely Sofo and Vonnegut!!
Posted On: Tuesday, Apr. 28 2009 @ 11:46AMI listened to Ascaris on their myspace page. More like Ass Cancer. Major load blower right there.
Posted On: Tuesday, Apr. 28 2009 @ 1:31PMI'd really like to see Vonnegut and Sofo added to the ticket.
Posted On: Tuesday, Apr. 28 2009 @ 2:57PM"Anonymous says:

For your information the drummer has ass cancer. And the bass player has cannotblowmyload syndrome.
Not cool dude. Not cool.
DH,
When do we find out which five acts made it on the ballot? Thanks for opening up this forum.

Posted On: Tuesday, Apr. 28 2009 @ 4:51PMmelissa G. that was way too sick and wrong and funny!
Posted On: Tuesday, Apr. 28 2009 @ 5:15PMThe ABP, son! The Alan Baird Project! Final answer.
Posted On: Tuesday, Apr. 28 2009 @ 5:33PMSofo & Vonnegut should definitely be involved!!!!! Can't get enough of them!!!
Posted On: Wednesday, Apr. 29 2009 @ 12:23AMSo I listened to THE ALAN BAIRD PROJECT on their myspace page. It left me numb with boredom. Oh, hold on, I'm a robot. I don't have feelings. Do robots yawn?
Posted On: Wednesday, Apr. 29 2009 @ 11:08AMDeadbubbles should certainly be under consideration, too! They are unjustly under the Denver radar and are simply awesome providers of sincere, gorgeous rock and roll thunder, without smirking or irony!
(Thanks for providing this forum, by the way! It's a swell vent...)
Voting's over guys. It ended Monday night. You can quit defensively compensating for your own band's weakness by submitting fake comments and hating on other bands now.

Jeremy Dion is da BOMB! No one individual works as hard and comes out so sweet...a cross from Lightfoot to Mayer to pure Dion or was that Dylan?... "Book em!" :)

Up and coming..."Book em!"
i cannot believe grit hitter is not at the top of the list...with their manic devoted fans and a live performance that creates itz own mosh pit that even encourages midgits, this original 3 piece group of zealous action musicans should be filling stadiums...be sure to check em out!!!!!!
Posted On: Wednesday, Apr. 29 2009 @ 5:09PMgrit hitter hits the mark....if they aren't included, it will not be the same....
Posted On: Wednesday, Apr. 29 2009 @ 5:25PMYou guys should put THe Pickup Artist in the line up :)
Posted On: Wednesday, Apr. 29 2009 @ 6:41PMAlan Baird Project is the bomb-diggity, shizz dizzle! The Pickup Artists are also super sweet.

If the method for picking bands to perform at the westword music showcase is how many times they can type their own name into a blog then it's probably not for us.
It can be said without a doubt that this way of choosing bands is not an honest representation of what is happening in the Denver music scene.
Go out to more shows.
Seek talent.
Support local music.
The Vergers
www.thevergers.com
www.myspace.com/thevergers
Local to showcase: Jeremy Dion!!!
Montana/Wyoming folks to showcase: Jessica Kilroy, and Steampowered Airplane.
WHERE IS VONNEGUT AND SOFO IN ALL THIS MADNESS???!! COME ON WESTWORD!
Posted On: Monday, May. 4 2009 @ 11:40AMJeremy Dion is awesome at Scrabble and does a sweeeeeeet Eddie Vedder impression.
Posted On: Wednesday, May. 6 2009 @ 2:08PMI heard about this and think this type of shenanigans is just plain lame. I guess the band with the ability to sit in front of the computer and type in their band name wins. LOL. You guys weeding out duplicate IP addresses or does it even matter ?
Who chose the original bands in the first place. I am in a local band here and just very disappointed in the way things are being run.
I wish the Warped Wannabeez were in the line up. I would have loved to see them live.
Posted On: Monday, May. 11 2009 @ 9:03AMSo, when are the results gonna be posted? Or is this never gonna happen? If the bands get on now, they will only have a month to get people to vote on the ballot!
Posted On: Tuesday, May. 12 2009 @ 1:09AMThis blog was just a fluff your own ego test, and you all passed!Congrats!
You all proved how good you are at spaming, and how willing you are to bash other peoples musical efforts for personal gains.
you said you were gonna post the bands that made the cut this week but didn't dave...what's going...I gather that you all have decided this was a colossal mistake, and I think we all understand, but you need to make a freakin decision and post the bands that made it - they already have no chance but giving the original bands a 3 week head start is equally unfair...the silence is deafening here!!! who cares about the same IPs, just add the 10 bands here that got support and move on - none of them have a shot in hell of getting voted in anyways...and bag the "one band gets to perform" notion - ya gotta earn it...
Posted On: Friday, May. 15 2009 @ 10:14PMFLASH MOB, FLASH MOB, FLASH MOB!!!!!!!!!! Kyle, Wayne & the other dudes are amazing. This band is worth it! They are fabulous!!!
FLASH MOB! 100%!
Posted On: Tuesday, May. 19 2009 @ 2:26PMi have to say there are two DIRTY MOTIVE RECORDS artists tat should be considered for HIP HOP-BIG SLAM 1 who is probably colorados dopest MC and for R&B the new release of DR PHEEL GOOD has to be in the mix.
Posted On: Wednesday, May. 20 2009 @ 11:12AMTequila Mockingbird! We are about to perform at the People's Fair for our tenth year in a row and have paid our dues, fer sure... Please check out our site http://www.tequilamockingbirdmusic.com
and look for our new CD due out in September. Thanks for all you have done for us and local music!!
Please add The Ocean Bed. Underrated indie pop band.
Posted On: Monday, Jun. 1 2009 @ 2:10PMAscaris kicks it. Put them in the showcase to add some punch.
