{PARAGRAPH}That is all. Show details to be announced later this month. Congrats to all of the incredible Colorado musicians past and present who will be a part of that incredible gift. Much love to those folks — the new material sounds great. Also new this week — The Yawpers debut full length. There are some who have questioned me about including such bands as Poco and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band in the show. We get to claim Poco as our own. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band moved here from Album) in as well, after not quite making it since forming in Sonic Youth. You Are the Best. Space Team Electra. Luminous Crush single. Vortex Flower. Space Apple Deluxe. Wicker Park. Medication EP. Stone Temple Pilots. Player, Producer, Engineer. Time Out Drawer. My Way or the Highway. Urge Overkill. Album Tracks. Silver Tones. Producer, Mellotron. Walt Mink. El Producto. Wesley Willis. Jason Rau. Recorded, Refereed. Fireman Rick. Goin' Through Changes. All Now with Wings. Keep Going. Original Soundtrack. Music from the Motion Picture Love. Various Artists. Star Power. In the final analysis, ph10 is strong stuff. That's elementary, my dear. Dan Owens, Devon Rogers and Josie Fluri play fast and loud, but they're not punks; they're artier than that. They aren't afraid to stretch out their songs via riff wars that begin and end Album) begin again with startling suddenness. Register is challenging but never inaccessible, providing the kind of emotional rush that's far from common these days. Lineup shifts have felled numerous bands over the years, but not 16 Horsepower, which emerged from a shakeup as an even more impressive act. The quartet remains one of Colorado's finest exports. If this disc isn't quite up to the standards of the Spacey ones' mesmerizing live shows, it's still an excellent introduction to the band's musical dramaturgy. Lead singer Myshel Prasad doesn't so much sing these songs as inhabit them, and Bill Kunkel, Greg Fowkes and Kit Peltzel whip up an instrumental maelstrom that allows her to flourish. Naysayers may accuse the players of pretentiousness, and at times, they're guilty as charged. But given the beauty of The Vortex Flower, Album), what difference does it make? Tarmints leader Kurt Ottoway would like to get out from under his association with Twice Wilted, the band he led for much of the Eighties and Nineties. Fortunately for him, the quality of this disc should help him establish a new identity. The songs are rough but effective, allowing Ottoway to dig into the music with renewed vigor. It's Tarminty fresh. Prog rock has a bad name in certain quarters, and understandably so: Pomposity and bluster can be hard to take, especially when it's put at the service of empty virtuosity. But Thinking Plague, whose roots stretch back to the Eighties, has never suffered from this particular malady. Group leader Mike Johnson and his wizardly associates can play, sure, but their album succeeds grandly because their songs are as noteworthy as their chops. Make a financial contribution or sign up for a newsletter, and help us keep telling Denver's stories with no paywalls. It's hard to imagine a better introduction to one of this region's most vigorous musical scenes. Thirty propulsive tracks, no waiting. Neither a jazz band nor a lounge ensemble, the Perry Weissman 3 specializes in instrumentals that defy expectations in the most appealing manner imaginable. Performers such as guitarist Mike Serviolo and trombonist Rick Benjamin-Tebelau don't view having fun and taking musical chances as mutually exclusive pursuits. The result is music that sounds as good in Colorado as it would anywhere else.
