We Like Monsters

We Like Monsters:  Denver, Colorado.

I was lucky to have the opportunity to see We Like Monsters live at Moe’s BBQ in Denver during the Underground Music Showcase, a festival.  These fellas are an indie band with a real unique sound & feel.  The lead singer, Tim, is a standout band orchestrator with a a drum stick sticking out of his back pocket as he sings. Previously, Tim was in a band called GreenField where he sang, said Adam, the former bassist in greenfield.  When he is not singing, he either plays the keyboard or triggers samples and sounds with his midi pad, as the rest of the band takes center stage. The other band members pick up the slack with their superb musicality and feel.  The bassist, has a rocker’s stance, and beanie to match it. The lead keyboardist has a double stack, or two keyboards on top of each other, each with their own customized synth sounds to enable versatile timbres for melodies.  If you like the music, don’t miss an opportunity to see We Like Monsters in a personable venue (before they become well known)!  Have a listen and be sure to listen to the music video: “Le Tigre” (see below)

MaCaATIC CREW

By Leave a Comment

Colorado Springs, just an hour south of Denver, sees little of the live music that continually funnels its through the mile high city. On Thursday, December 22nd, however, the Springs was rocked by the smooth, slightly pot infused, hip-hop genius that is Devin the Dude. The venue was mellowed out, sipping the extra tall boy PBRs as they waited for the main act. Various artists and groups took the stage, circles of Devin the Dude were fans unimpressed, trying to drink their way to enjoying the music. It wasn’t until a local Colorado Springs group, MaCaATIC Crew, took the stage that the crowd began to move. The energy was immediate.

In fact, the MacAatic Crew, synchronized and energetic, made the floor bounce.   They had clearly put in the time & effort to create an entertaining show! With a Masked Madman crawling upside down from the sealing, the crew took the crowd by surprise.  A clearly unique approach to the game.

Concert Report from Spain

A warm brisk night in Seville, Spain, leads to the makings to a wonderful night of music. The music-goers start to trickle in the street surrounding the venue around midnight. Nightlife in Europe begins much later than Americans are accustomed to.  As cars pull up, trunks are popped, music played, drinks are passed, and the dancing begins. Inside Cosmos, a large dance-floor is surrounded by stacks of speakers in all four corners packing plenty of bass with amazing quality.  The lights covered the ceiling, with more strobes behind the performers. A full-service bar with beautiful bartenders, a premium sitting area with a good view of the stage, allowed everyone to find a comfortable place to enjoy the music. Top of the bill were Drum-N-Bass heavyweights Counterstrike from South Africa, with local favorites Dub Elements, Venganza, and Qkhack leading us into the night. Qkhack began the festivities with a wonderful set, a bit lighter than what was to come. Dub Elements was amazing, with a wide variety of drops, bass, and build-ups. The much-anticipated Counterstrike, was worth the wait, and brought some of the most serious bass, heavy hitting hard Drum-N-Bass. The dance-floor literally erupted and didn’t stop moving until the end of their set.

Qkhack – Broke (Unsigned) by Qkhack

Overall, it was much different from anything else I have ever experienced, a wonderful loving crowd, accepting of my lack of Spanish speaking skills, and amazing music. If you ever find yourself in Seville, Spain check out the Resistance facebook page, they have events sporadically, but would definitely be worth checking out.
