UPCOMING EVENTS!
So what if we don’t have a venue anymore, there is plenty of cool shit on the rise. If you don’t already know, Absolute Vinyl is a GREAT Boulder record store that has just moved into a larger location around 55th and Arapahoe. The owner, Doug Gauddy is someone I consider to be a major ally in opening up the budding potential of the area’s underground music scene and exposing it to Boulder.
So – Here’s two upcoming events that everyone should know about -
1. “Jay Ellis Trio”! This Friday, October 21 at 7:30 to 9:30pm
The Trio last performed at Red Rocks and is making their Boulder debut. Featuring Doug Anderson on Acoustic Bass, Danny Meyer on Tenor Saxophone & Jay Ellis on Drums. These amazing musicians have performed with some of the best national and regional jazz players going. They will deliver a potent performance of modern jazz
2. (Now this one is especially for Astrolanders…)
This Saturday, October 22 at 3:00 to 5:30 in the afternoon
a special engagement featuring
The Babysitters
(featuring Apples in Stereo member Eric Allen) &
The Manxx

This show offers two of Denver’s most clever and energetic pop rock bands. Period.

Absolute Vinyl’s new shop is located in the shopping center on the South side of Arapahoe & Conestoga (next to Ozo Coffee & Snarf’s Sandwiches, between 55th & Foothills Parkway).
The Manxx rocked our world when the came to play for us so expect a good time!
BabahFly, Panama Soweto, Mike Wird and DJ SD are The High-Tops. This retro-fresh Denver emcee mash up combines an ill blend of true school hip hop, spoken word and crispy beats courtesy of Babah’s ASR-X Pro. Denver Westword has called Babah Fly a “Denver Hip Hop Legend”, and Panama Soweto is a nationally touring spoken word artist, and former National Poetry Slam Champion and Mike Wird is the Regional Coordinator for the Southwest’s Chapter of Hip Hop Congress.
They host 900PoundGorillaCypher once a month in Denver at the Gypsy House Cafe. When asked why he wanted to start a cypher party Babah Fly said, ” I just wanted to bring back style and originality.”
The cypher has quickly become one of Denver’s best Hip Hop events. “The idea is simple, give the mic back to the emcees, let the DJs spin fresh instrumentals and watch what happens.” -Panama Soweto
Nothing says summer like the slackidasical sounds of surf. California’s Roman Candles and Astroland will be serving up sandy vibes with a big, heaping helping of assorted punk on the side.
