SpokesBUZZ: Torn Between Two Shows
Republished from the SpokesBUZZ blog at: http://spokesbuzz.wordpress.com/2010/11/05/torn-between-two-shows/
What do we do when we have multiple shows in our town. I think it’s a great problem and one I find often here in lovely Fort Collins. Tonight we have Fierce Bad Rabbit and Nathaniel Rateliffe at Road 34 and Musketeer Gripweed’s CD Release party at Hodis.
I actually mapped it out [...]
Assests of the Universe – Lonesome Alibi
Melodic harmonies wafting over radiowaves has become rare today, but Assets of the Universe’s Lonesome Alibi delivers. AotU blends two rhythm guitars seamlessly with Kate Ball’s expansive vocal talent, while Jonathan Powell infuses every song with a fresh variety of beats.
AotU’s distinct genre borrows influences from Alanis Morissette and Thrice while Kate aggressively drives AotU [...]
Thrifty Astronaut – Caffeine Heartache
Thrifty Astronaut’s newest album, Caffeine Heartache, draws us into the memories of love lost with tinny voice samples wrapped tightly inside raw electro/blues backgrounds. Nick Jones (a.k.a. Thrifty Astronaut) takes the lo-fi Indie-blues feel to expanded heights with noteworthy influences of Radiohead and The Black Keys.
The pace of the album builds with songs like “Pretty [...]
Otem Rellik – Elephant Graveyard
You can just taste the blood, sweat and tears when listening to Otem Rellik’s new album, Elephant Graveyard. Finely tuned and long awaited, this indie Hip-Hop album by Toby Hendricks drips with emotion.
The album’s mood reminds one a bit of Radiohead – emotional and depressing, but very beautiful.
Even though Hendricks constantly sounds out of breath, [...]

The Foot. – Primary Colors review
Variety can be the nail in the coffin of a disorganized and non-cohesive band. But The Foot. (period included) pulls it off like a satin-lined sweater.
Primary Colors shows depth and soul from this Denver trio, which has been making music together since 2008.
“Seeing Red” starts off the album with a bluesy, White Stripes-esque [...]
Sustainable Living Fair 2010 – Permaculture at its finest
This year, the theme of the Sustainable Living Fair (returning to Fort Collins September 18-19) is permaculture. If you’re not familiar with this term, it’s formally defined as “any system of sustainable agriculture that renews natural resources and enriches local ecosystems,” or more simply, “sustainable land-use design.”
Ok, it makes sense on a large scale, but [...]
