If I Were U–Proposed Amendment

I do think my weekly dropped the ball a little bit by not mentioning the Planes Mistaken for Stars/Kingdom of Magic/Get Your Death On! show at the Tower Bar in If I Were U, favoring instead the Scarlet Symphony/the Prayers/Roses on her Grave show at the Casbah, among others.

No offense to Scarlet Symphony and the [...]

Quit fucking around: PMFS, KoM, GYDO! @ Tower Bar Friday

Don’t sleep–unless you have something against awesomeness. This is my 30th birthday, by the way. If I haven’t invited you yet, it’s cause I don’t have your email. Rectify.

SD Punk Board Readers…

Please get the word out about that Planes Mistaken for Stars/Kingdom of Magic/Get Your Death On show at the Tower Bar on September 21! I still can’t figure out how to log on to the damn thing.

PMFS, Kingdom of Magic, GYDO @ The Tower Bar, Sep 21

Sorry for the scants posts as of late: I’m completely nailed by getting things prepped for the academic job market. A note to readers: if any of you are chairs of political science departments, I’m ready to work.
Ah, the 30th birthday. A time for sober reflection on three decades of life, love, friendship and camaraderie. [...]

Denverfest Post Mortem coming soon

What a weekend! I’ll be blogging about this extensively later today (as time permits, I have midterms to finish grading and lecture to prepare), but for the moment, here’s a nifty photo of Neil from Planes Mistaken for Stars from their show with Christie Front Drive, Crestfallen and the Volts at the Marquis Theater.

My D-fest Schedule:

Traffic/level of inebriation willing, this is what I’ll be tracking down this weekend at Denverfest.
Friday:
6 – Ryan Windham: I’m hoping it’s Barry Windham’s son, but I’m probably wrong.
7 – Brainhammer: From the name, I’m expecting smooth jazz.
8 – Bailer: One of my favorite Denver bands, and one that’s jumped up a notch.
9 – Across Tundras: [...]

Now I’m confused…

PMFS’s Myspace says they’ll be at the Casbah on September 21, but the listing at the Casbah website says locals Scarlet Symphony and Roses on her Grave. No offense, but I’m hoping the Casbah is one in error at this moment…

Denver Invades San Diego, parts 1 and 2

Tomorrow night: Kingdom of Magic @ The Zombie Lounge. Yours truly, and everyone else who knows a good time and likes stoner metal, will be there. It’s gonna be epic. I think they play second. A shitty band called Pen and Ink plays first. I can’t say enough good things about Kingdom of Magic, and [...]

Denverfest lineup is OUT

DenverFest 3 LINE-UP
It would be ridiculous of me to try and point out all the “highlights” (personal and otherwise) to which I’m looking forward. This will be my first look at Smoke or Fire, The Forecast, and my first look in a while at several others. In the interest of festival spirit, I’ll be posting [...]
