It wasn't very long ago that Katie Herzig came to Denver for a show. I did not attend, despite being told that I had to go see her. Pretty sure Aimee even offered me a free ticket. Of course, I am now regretting my decision to not attend the show. Doh! Here is a video of her covering both The Eurhythmics and the White Stripes in one amazing cover song. Hope you enjoyed it as much as me. And let this be a lesson to you, when your friends say there is this great concert you should go to? You should listen to them or forever regret ...

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 ...
Rocket Summer – Take Two!
Remember that time that I was an idiot and locked my purse in my new car with my ID, credit cards and, of course, the spare car keys? Yeah, that was a fun December night. That was the same night that The Heyday had a show at Marquis Theatre opening for Rocket Summer. I somehow made it out of my car with the tickets to the show (thank god) and my camera (I had a photo pass). After a quick call to USAA, I had a locksmith on order, to show up in about an hour and a half. Since I had time to kill, and ...
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, ...
Fighting For Fessler: An Event Of Support
An extremely important event is happening this Thursday, May 10th at 7:00PM at The Marquis. Of course all of the local music events that we support are held very closely to our hearts but this Thursday, with the help of our friends in Della, Monroe Monroe, Mr. Right, and The Marquis Theater, we're able to support something that is literally going to be life changing. "Fighting For Fessler" is an event in support of a good friend of mine, Luke Mehrens', girlfriend Abby Fessler. I've had the pleasure of meeting this beautifully strong woman a few times, but last month Abby was unexpectedly diagnosed with T-CELL Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL). ...
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 ...
Lovedrug + Take to the Oars + Post Paradise = Amazing Denver Night
On Tuesday, May 1, two of our local favorites will be opening for Lovedrug at the Hi-Dive in Denver. This is definitely a show you don't want to miss. We have blogged about Take to the Oars many, many times before, but we still can't get enough of them! Can you blame us? Take a look at their video for Bar Talk: But also opening for Lovedrug is Post Paradise, Monika's current band crush. https://twitter.com/monikarun/status/186324385555169280 How could you not love a cello rock band? Listen to this and tell me you don't love it: Then there is the headliner, Lovedrug. They remind me of Manchester Orchestra with a little Mute ...
Opinion: A Different Side Of Ke$ha
I'm not one of those huge Ke$ha fans, actually you could say that maybe I don't like her at all, but today I was reading a review done by Denver Westword on a collaboration that she did with The Flaming Lips, suggesting that it was "2012's most unexpectedly great collaboration". Clearly I'm a bit biased on this simply because I've never really taken Ke$ha's music career seriously. Even reading the things that she posts on her Twitter account really made me question what the hell this woman was trying to achieve. I fully understand that in this industry, as a musician, you have to keep people on ...
