Since Uber's launch in Denver, I have only had the pleasure of ordering one ride, but I can't wait to use it more. When I was in NYC for BlogHer, I rode in many Uber cars thanks to my friend George. It was so nice and easy! The cars were clean, the drivers were always super nice one had even had two iPhone chargers for us to use! (more…)

SummerGrind.
Pretty recently we had the opportunity (thanks to some of our favorite people in the scene) to attend the annual SummerGrind Music Festival. While I know that we are labeled as "indie bitches", I've always tended to be more of a punk rock bitch. The second that I heard that Leftover Crack, Orphans, Elway, and Potato Pirates were all going to be at the same venue in one day, in the sun, where I was able to get both BBQ and beer - I was first to sign up. Bands like these are by no means for the soft-hearted, they're practically what get me going every ...
93.3 KTCL’s Big Gig Top 10 Locals Only Contest
I really love all that 93.3 KTCL does for local bands. Yes, they are a Clear Channel station, but do you know how many local shows the DJ's attend? It is a lot and it is impressive. Not only do the DJ's attend shows, the station also holds contests and allow local bands to open for their Big Gig concert every year. They have just announced the top 10 locals who are in the running to open for this years show which includes acts like Silversun Pickups, The Hives, The Wombats and more! So now it is up to YOU to help these bands make it! In ...
Higher Ground Music Festival: 8/24-8/26
After a great weekend at The Denver Post's Underground Music Showcase, although we're still recovering (and slowly), these bitches are already ready for more. There's tons of events going on this summer - it's dangerously close to being one of the best summers that we've ever had. One of the upcoming events that we're looking extremely forward to is the Higher Ground Music Festival. Over 40 of our favorites bands and musicians are playing, back-to-back, in our very own mountains in Central City. If you love indie rock as much as we do, we know that you're going to want to spend the weekend drinking, jamming, ...
New Music Tuesday – Rachel and The Kings – Underwater – Winners of Ford’s Gimme the Gig!
Not only does this post include a catchy new song, but a video on a few great artists. Even better? They are all local artists! My pick for a song this week is Rachel and the Kings' song Underwater. (Full disclosure, my brother is one of the Kings, but I do still love this song. It's been stuck in my head for weeks!) Rachel and the Kings went to LA with Bop Skizzum and Josh Blackburn for Ford's Gimme the Gig challenge. The winner got to record a song with legendary producer Don Was out of a Ford Focus. Rachel and the Kings were the lucky winners! The whole weekend ...
The Underground Music Showcase – Saturday’s Schedule #UMS
It has been a very successful UMS so far! With 2 nights under our belts, we are ready to take on the weekend. The next 2 days will be hot, full of great music and likely many beers (Breckenridge Brewery and PBR - we are indie after all). Will you be around? We'd love to meet you all! I'll be the one in a boot: Here is Monika's schedule for Saturday: “NO LABEL, NO MANAGEMENT, NO PROBLEM” Panel @ 1PM at South Broadway Christian Church “CREATING A SCENE IN 2012″ Panel @ 2:15PM at South Broadway Christian Church The Kevin Costner Suicide Pact @ 3PM at Gildar Gallery The Foot @ ...
Win a Free Ticket to Unwined Denver from Club W!
You are probably wondering "What is Unwined?" No, it is not a concert festival (although there will be DJ's), but it is a wine extravaganza that is sponsored by Club W! This Saturday and Sunday at the EXDO center in Denver, there will be 200+ wines available for you to taste, along with food from some of Denver's top food trucks. Does this sound like an event that is right up your alley? Well, lucky for you, I have a ticket to give away for Saturday's event! Entry is easy and open to anyone who can attend on Saturday (yes, the event is 21+). (more…)
New Music Tuesday – The xx’s Angels
I am so excited for UMS, and so disappointed in Green Day and No Doubt, that I forgot to post my New Music Tuesday pick! I was hoping this week would be a throw back to the 90's punk scene, but after listening to Green Day and No Doubt's new songs a few times, I just couldn't post them on here as my pick. Instead, going to go with The xx's new song Angels. Pretty much the opposite of 90's punk, but enjoyable nonetheless. Plus, they are coming to the Boulder Theatre October 17th! Now off to listen to more UMS bands!
The 12th Annual UMS – Thursday Edition
UMS. UMS. UMS. The Denver Underground Music Showcase is, by far, one of Monika and I's most looked forward to event of the year. It's where we discovered Indie Bitches, became a duo of music loving, concert going girls, and have continued doing so ever since. We love this local event as much as we love chocolate oranges. We'll be keeping you updated with our plans, our tastes differ every once in awhile but for starters, this is my schedule for Thursday. I'm really, really looking forward to seeing Alone At 3AM at the Skylark, I fell in love with the Ohio-based band just a couple ...
New Music Tuesday – The Early November’s In Currents Album
Kaila and I love Ace Enders and The Early November, so this week's new music was a no-brainer.
