With 2012 being just around the corner, we're looking forward to a lot of new things. New events, new songs, new cds, new bands. The only thing is - what are we going to do for the New Year? Every year there are a ton of parties, this year has a ton of shows to offer that we don't wanna miss. However, at the end of the day, we do have to choose one (or two if we decide to disperse) events to enjoy and welcome the new year with. Although we can't make all of them, we really hope and highly recommend that you get ...

EP: In The Whale
It's a very good assumption that if you come to Indie Bitches, you're wanting to hear about Denver local bands, releases, shows, and events in general. By making that assumption, I'm guessing that most of you have heard of bands such as The Doors, The Black Keys, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and The White Stripes, right? Now another big question here is: what do these bands all have in common? Obviously they're all incredibly talented and well-known musicians, but did you happen to notice that they're successful without bass players? In The Whale is one of our local bands who was willing to take this risk. Their ...
Band: My Body Sings Electric
With the holidays coming right around the corner, lately I've been asking just about everyone what they want for Christmas. If you weren't already wondering, almost all of my friends happen to be musicians; making it extremely easy to shop for them. One of the best gifts that I could've asked for this year, however, I already got; music. The Denver music scene has produced so many amazing bands that have made it very large in the industry, names like The Fray, One Republic, Flobots, Breathe Carolina and 3OH!3 are merely just a few that have become well known around the country, even the world. What I've learned over the past ...
Album: Air Dubai’s New EP; Day Escape
I've been sitting on the edge of my seat since last October, waiting for more Air Dubai. Although the Remixtape was released in March this year, hearing new music in any sense is always something that's refreshing. Day Escape (released on 10/25/11) is like a cold glass of water on a hot summer day, something that I know is helping this band grow and become even more amazing than they already are. Between the trumpet, guitar, bass, drums, and two voices that make angels in the sky stop and listen, this EP is the best thing to come from this incredibly talented ensemble yet. Obviously there ...
Music To Look Out For: Popcult
As Bob Marley once so lovingly said, "One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." And how true it is. These days there are a lot of bands trying to get exposure, a lot of musicians transitioning into new things, and then there are the ones that are newly surficing. Popcult happens to be one of those bands. Just recently releasing their EP and coming into the Denver music scene, Popcult (Justin Renaud, Tyler Venter, Alex Halvorson, and Brandon Proff) is starting to catch on like wildfire. After playing a show with Mr. Right and Yeah Great Fine at Moe's Original BBQ ...
Band: Vices I Admire
It's not very often that I can say there are immoral and wicked activities that I regard with warm approval, however now that Vices I Admire have been brought to my attention, I might have to say otherwise. Being a very well-known fact that I enjoy heavier/bolder music and even am known to be more of a "grungy bitch" than an "indie bitch", when it was recommended that(because of my love for bands such as The Photo Atlas and Take To The Oars) I give Vices I Admire a listen, I was in. Denver has easily one of the best music scenes; not merely because of the amount of talent ...
Album: American Volume; Take To The Oars
It's pretty common knowledge that between the two of us, Monika and I listen to more local music than anything else. Both of us are so involved in our lives on the web that we rarely have time to even buy CD's anymore, so just about every CD in our cars are those of the locals who tell us to listen to them. I can honestly say that I hadn't ever been to a Take To The Oars(formerly Vonnegut) show before or even heard them until the Underground Music Showcase, where I met lead singer, Ryan Gombeski, outside of Moe's BBQ after a My Body Sings Electric show, and The ...
Band: Eldren
Well it's safe to say that they're definitely invested in your emotions, because Eldren has created their own type of sound that definitely gives you an "indescribable feeling" - and in the best possible way. The band recently released their first ever EP and it's wholeheartedly said that we're completely delighted. Eldren's sound is both original and rhythmic, the exact type of music that no matter what type of song they're playing, you can't help but dance. [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="958" caption="Eldren playing at Larimer Lounge 8/21/11"] With their very own quirkiness, mix of several different instruments, and voices that make angels want to cry from happiness, Eldren has really ...
