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 @ ...
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.
New Music Tuesday – Muse’s song Survival
Yes, I am a few days late. I blame it on having a holiday in the middle of the week, because let's face it, today seems like Tuesday. Either way, what better way to celebrate summer than with the theme song for the 2012 Summer Olympics? That's right, Muse's song Survival is the official song of the 2012 London Summer Olympics. Plus the official video is also quite inspiring:
New Music Tuesday – Maroon 5′s Overexposed
Yes, I am going to go a little pop on you right now. Just because I am indiebitch, doesn't mean that I don't enjoy other genres at the same time. I remember falling in love with Maroon 5 back in 2002, when they played at CU for the New Student Welcome concert on Farrand field. Most people didn't know who they were, but we all fell in love with Adam Levine. (I mean, how could you not?) I then tried to see them in 2003 in Las Vegas where they were slated to open for John Mayer, but cancelled at the last minute to go play ...
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!
New Music Tuesday – Walk the Moon
Yes, I am a day late with this one, so sue me. 93.3 KTCL has been playing this Walk the Moon's song Anna Sun for a few weeks now, but I am really digging the whole album, especially Jenny. What do you guys think?
