The snow that had fallen earlier in the day had melted by the time people started showing up for the BackForty show at s00kr33m’s featuring Denver band Dream Wagon and Boulder singer-songwriter t.mule.
t.mule – The Longest Day of the Year
Dream Wagon – Dead Man
The Wandering Bears contacted me recently about playing BackForty. To be quite honest, I hadn’t heard of the band. The gentleman that contacted me about the show played at BackForty (s00kr33m’s) before with Dewi Sant - which was a magical evening. For that reason, I was very excited to check out The Wandering Bears’ tracks. [..]
Dream Wagon and Friends will be traveling up from Denver to grace us Boulderites with fabulous sounds of enchantment. The show will be starting promptly at 8pm on April 29th, at s00kr33m’s. As always, there will be plenty of surprises. Come enjoy the festivities with us…
Dream Wagon is a core trio that often features guest players who bring a different flavor to the band’s charming sound, which reflects the aesthetics of folk and indie pop but isn’t really either. If anything, Lindsay Thorson, Allison Sheldon and Emily Hall craft the sort of songs one shares with a few close friends, perhaps singing together around a campfire.

The Morning Benders performed at the Hi-Dive. Let me tell you, 16-something year old girls love The Morning Benders. I assume it’s the bubble gum, do-wop harmonies mixed with the above average musicianship. The Morning Benders sounded great in a venue that isn’t always accommodating. [..]
For once, Denver came to Boulder to play last night. Or, I should say, to Astroland- Boulder’s very new, very own all ages DIY space, which opened a few months ago. The unlikely suburban auto garage-turned-indie venue hosted four metro Denver bands: Weed Diamond, Brothers Chars, Accordion Crimes, and Thee Goochi Boiz. Jeff the Brotherhood were billed for the evening, but, unfortunately, the Nashville band didn’t make it. I heard rumor that they got stuck in Wyoming, which seems to happen to alot of touring bands around these parts. (Its like the Bermuda Triangle of the West.) Regardless, Denver’s own kept everyone entertained. [..]
Last night three NYC bands (two from Brooklyn and one from Staten Island) went magnum at the Hi-Dive in Denver. The bill consisted of Freelance Whales, Bears in Heaven and Cymbals Eat Guitars or, as I like to say, Freelance Bears Eat Cymbals (FBEC). The show got off to a slow start. Supposedly, the FBEC tour bus took a wrong turn and ended up in Wyoming. But, by the end of the night the place was packed and the sound was terrific. [..]
2010 is shaping up to be the year of the follow up album. Scores of killer bands are dropping new albums after having experienced widespread popular and critical success with their previous. Vampire Weekend, the Liars, Beach House, Yeasayer and Joanna Newsom are among a few we’ve seen so far, but there are way way more to come. (Stereogum did a nice “Most anticipated list of 2010″ here, that is enough to get any music geek aflutter) [..]
