Just a short note this week. It’s summer. We have family in town from New Jersey for ten days. Gonna make sure we treat them to as much as we can of what CO is all about – including bands, beers, bud and booze. And grand views, Grand Lake, South Park and Red Rocks of course.
This week’s MMMM (Monday Morning Music Meeting) below has new music for you to vote on from Darren Garvey (Elephant of Revival), Devotchka, the Lumineers, John Grant (the Czars) and Westword Music Showcase Award Winner RL Cole & the Hell You Say.
Next week’s show is already in the can. It’s a mid-summer review of some of the best of the Colorado Playlist for 2018. Enjoy. Hopefully I’ll be back in time for next week’s post.
VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK
Jen Korte with her band “the Loss” just won the Westword Music Showcase Award for best folk artist for 2018. In the meantime Jen is also establishing herself as FAR MORE than folk, pop, rock, hip-hop, indie or any other style outside of metal, punk, country or blues with her latest offering called Lady Gang.
From the website: ABOUT: Lady Gang was given a small loop pedal in 2014 and found herself quickly falling down the rabbit hole of live looping and beat creation. Empowered by her electric guitar, her voice, a beat machine, and her loop pedal, LADY GANG fuses elements of hip hop and indie rock to create a sound rich with originality and skill.
…she has been seen in and around Denver as a solo artist as well as a collaborator in Denver’s hip hop scene both as a vocalist and guitarist for Def Knock and through her partnership with Denver’s best MC of 2017, Kitty Crimes, as Nasty Twin. She has been seen opening the stage for Too Short, The Pharcyde, Mac Lethal and Wax.
At Bohemian Foundation, our focus is on building community …by coming together to create and enjoy music.
