I love new music. I love it even more when it comes from some of my favorite local acts, like Take to the Oars. Take a listen to their new single which will be on their EP due out in early 2013!
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 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 ...
Westword Music Showcase 2012
Did you miss the Westword Music Showcase this last Saturday? I hope not, but if you did, here are a few videos of what you missed: It was a great event, despite the heat. The dance party for Girl Talk was out of control. I am already looking forward to WMS next year, and of course, to the Underground Music Showcase later in July!
Westword Music Showcase 2012

The Hate Album Release Show on 6/15 ft. In The Whale and All Capitals.
After an incredibly hectic week of concerts last week (what else is new), this week is nothing short of the exact same agenda. As I'm sure many of you are already planning, and if you're not you should be, Monika and I will be at Warped Tour this Sunday - we're stoked. It's going to be a really great weekend-topper even more so however when The Hate hosts their album release show at The Hi-Dive with In The Whale and All Capitals. I've had a couple chances to listen to the new album thanks to our good friend Mark, bassist for The Hate, and I'm more ...
New Music Video: Talisker Skye “Away”
Talisker Skye has just released this new video for their song "Away" which starts off with a broadcast of the news on the day that Johnny Schou passed away 4 years ago. The reporter says his last name wrong, which pisses me off everytime, but the rest of the video shows Sean Kennedy and the band around a campfire, in a grave and even adds in video of Johnny from their Tickle Me Pink days. I think the song is great and can't wait to hear what else we will be seeing from Talisker Skye in the future. See Colorado Music Buzz's article about the band ...
Featured Band Discovery: Strange Americans
Just a few hours ago I went down into the madness that was Denver Day of Rock to go see and visit with the guys in Air Dubai. Monika had a family day so I was all by my lonesome which doesn't happen too often at music events, this was actually the first time at a festival I went solo. Of course with the people who don't know how to walk quickly, children, and drunks it was a lively time in the sun (not complaining because I actually really enjoy festivals) but anyways, getting onto subject....as I was waiting for Air Dubai to finish setting up, ...
Featured Band: The Say So
Down here at Indie Bitches we get to have some of the greatest experiences, from going to numerous shows in the Denver Metro area all the way to getting to listen to tracks before they're officially released. Thanks to alternative rock band The Say So, we were able to recieve a couple copies of their first CD before anyone else, set to be released on Friday, June 8th at The Hi-Dive with Take To The Oars (we sure do seem to mention these guys a lot) and Eldren. The Say So is a four part Denver-based band consisting of members Sean Palmer (vocals, guitar), Noah Fisher ...
