Black is the new black

Black Mountain, Black Angels, Black Kids, Black Keys... I think there's something here. Name something "black" and it turns to gold. Or pink...eventually.

I just came from Lily's myspace page. What an elusive creature that Kurt Heasley is. He's been putting out some of the best rock music since the early nineties with only a sliver of the deserved recognition. I truly believe that Precollection is one of the great modern rock albums. And what a treat for us fans...Lilys play a Denver dive bar in 2007 with an attendance of 25 people. I guess our Rocky Mountain radar is broken.

Kurts only a name change away from super stardom. Can you say " Black Lilys"?

upcoming show(s) - what I like

This is where I get to throw some show recomendations your way. I haven't checked Aprils roster yet so i'll jump ahead to a must see show in May.

What: Cut Copy & Black Kids
Where: Larimer Lounge - May 3rd, 8pm
Why: despite releasing flawless albums, both bands are still flying relatively under the radar in Denver. Hence, Larimer Lounge. See them now before it's too late.
