is this thread ever going to take off?

homosexual II, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 02:12 (twelve years ago) link

I'm a Boulderite. Well, actually I'm from the east coast, but I moved out here for a job and to be close to the mountains. Denver has been winning me over lately. I doubt I'd move down there, but I've had a great time.

I saw Snake Rattle Rattle Snake at the Hi Dive. They were pretty enjoyable. Certainly better than the options in Boulder: madolines or bad electronica.

Benjamin-, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 02:33 (twelve years ago) link

hmmm. This thread should take off! I'm a Denver-person too. I suppose we could talk more about Denvery/Bouldery things itt. I'm not usually comfortable putting myself out there like this but w/e it's ilx: I play in a band called Saturn Cowboys, we do kind of rock stuff that maybe somebody out there might be into. http://saturncowboys.bandcamp.com/ <--- I like to think of this as our 'ambitious but flawed first album'

So, we're playing a show on March 24 at Lion's Lair with Bonnie and the Beard & Tin Horn Prayer, both excellent bands, + we'll be releasing the above album as a CD there. If anyone wants to come and say hey, lemme know!

playing in denver on june 8th! at unit e. solo electronic stuff, possibly with drums if i can borrow some there.

40oz of tears (Jordan), Tuesday, 10 April 2012 15:58 (twelve years ago) link

man, unit e. has really taken off. i wasn't even aware of other DIY venues around town aside from Rhino & BlastOMat

i'll be there! i look vaguely like a "nathan fillion + the werewolf from twilight hybrid" according to a guy at the bar last night

kelpolaris, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 16:25 (twelve years ago) link

is unit e at all related to unit b? on lawrence and 20th?

homosexual II, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 16:34 (twelve years ago) link

is it in the red brick building w/ the apts on the 2nd floor? think i was there once for halloween 3-4yrs ago, can't remember exactly.

kelpolaris, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 16:46 (twelve years ago) link

great! my friend who set up the show will be playing too, and he is dope (m@n m@ntis).

40oz of tears (Jordan), Tuesday, 10 April 2012 16:56 (twelve years ago) link

are you "on tour" ? i'd think that there'd be some other thread resuscitation given that

kelpolaris, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:04 (twelve years ago) link

kelpolaris i was there on halloween in 2010 too.

homosexual II, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:10 (twelve years ago) link

i dated a guy who lived there. that was interesting.

homosexual II, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:10 (twelve years ago) link

jordan i'll be at your show. is there a FB event or anything?

homosexual II, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:11 (twelve years ago) link

nah, just visiting family and i figured i might as well pick up a gig as long as i was out there. although i'm planning on doing other weekend trips this summer and telling people it's a "tour".

xp not yet, but when it gets closer i'll invite you on facebook and post the details here. looking forward to it!

(PS, Unit E is on Santa Fe and not related to Unit B)

homosexual II, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:17 (twelve years ago) link

Oh, and I went to a party there once. It's all coming together.

Sorry for my liveblogging my stupid thoughts here.

homosexual II, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:18 (twelve years ago) link

I'm going to a place called the Lost Lake Lounge sometime soon. Never heard of it. On E. Colfax?

tylerw, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:19 (twelve years ago) link

Yeah. On Monroe & Colfax. It's pretty hipstery, but not disgustingly so.

homosexual II, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:21 (twelve years ago) link

yeahhh, it seems as though the Howling Hex are doing a weekly residency there in June. I am the only one in Denver excited about this, I think.

tylerw, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:22 (twelve years ago) link

The same owners of Sputnik and Hi-Dive operate Lost Lake.

If that gives you an idea.

It's a bit more laid back and dingy, though.

homosexual II, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:22 (twelve years ago) link

Howling Hex? Really? Are they from Denver???

homosexual II, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:25 (twelve years ago) link

The dude just moved out here or something? He's playing the Lion's Lair on the 20th of this month too. Saw him a few weeks back at the larimer lounge. pretty bizarre, but great --- had a backing band playing norteno kinda rhythms while he played psychedelic freak out guitar. there were about 12 people there.

tylerw, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:27 (twelve years ago) link

somewhat OT: has hi-dive always used biker dudes as doormen?

kelpolaris, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:29 (twelve years ago) link

hmm, i don't remember that. people working the door when i frequented there were frail indie types iirc.

tylerw, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:30 (twelve years ago) link

they're sort of a hybrid. jeans jackets w/ patches and mutton chops, garnished with vans old skools.

no reason for asking, just curious. well, sort of - i kinda just wondered if having biker-dudes as doormen as just a "legacy" the venue wanted to continue onward. the dudes there today aren't very imposing and i hadn't really known they were biker-bros until i asked, jokingly, if all employees had to wear the same vest.

kelpolaris, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:42 (twelve years ago) link

did they answer by beating you senseless with a pool cue?

tylerw, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:43 (twelve years ago) link

whereas they reveled to me their being part of a biker gang and i had to feign interest as i asked if they rode harley's, the only brand i'm familiar with and likely will ever be

im a shitty conversationalist.

kelpolaris, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:44 (twelve years ago) link

a biker gang! kind of quaint. i bet they all crank bon iver while ridin' on their hogs.

tylerw, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:48 (twelve years ago) link

oh those guys are all door dudes all over town.

homosexual II, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 19:24 (twelve years ago) link

homosexual II, Friday, 1 June 2012 21:00 (twelve years ago) link

homosexual II, Friday, 1 June 2012 21:01 (twelve years ago) link

40oz of tears (Jordan), Saturday, 2 June 2012 00:10 (twelve years ago) link

Shit goes on really late at Unit E since it's not a bar... so I might come by... real late-ish. Or early-ish. Dunno! But I'll be be there at some juncture.
