Monday April 8, 2019
When I started doing this show 13 years ago this weekend, I had already been booking bands and or consulting on Colorado talent for a handful of years. It was because of those bands, bands such as Yo, Flaco!, Love.45, Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, DeVotchKa and countless others, that I thought I was seeing something very special in our state.
When the Fray hit big with How to Save A Life in 2005, it wasn’t the first time a Colorado band hit big, but it was by far the biggest a Colorado band had ever hit. By 2015, the single How to Save A Life, became the 4th best-selling song in digital music history. OneRepublic came along and destroyed those records with Apologize in 2007 and Counting Stars in 2014, a song that is still by far the biggest hit in Colorado Music History.
I look forward to seeing that lies ahead for us as our scene continues to explode nationally, and internationally. One thing to look forward to this is the BEST OF THE DECADE … I’ll start working on that here soon. In the meantime, I hope you’ll check out this week’s MMMM and vote to either KEEP or DELETE the songs from the Colorado Playlist.
