Mike Ness Returns To His Roots

Austin Laramore — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 13:21:00 MDT

Infamous punk rock singer Mike Ness of the long time favorite band Social Distortion is going on tour without the rest of the guys.

Ness’ solo project titled “Cheating at Solitaire” pays homage to his influences by covering songs and bringing out their sounds in his music. His influences are giants such as Jonny Cash, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Hank Williams, and Creedence Clearwater Revival to name a few. As you can see Mike Ness is going way back in rock and roll history to bring some of the greatest music of all time back in the spotlight (Not that it ever left).

The music Ness put together is mesh of country and western mixed with his punk rock tendencies. This unique sound goes well with the talented singer/songwriter Jesse Dayton whom will open up for Ness. The sound of both artists is great and the performances will be one not to miss. Get your tickets as soon as possible!! For show information visit Mike Ness on the Gothic Website. Happy Listening!!!

Mad Libs Gothic Style...

Katy Bruns — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 16:46:00 MDT

Here at The Gothic Theatre we think our visiting artists create quite a unique game of Mad Libs…here goes (check out the capital letters!):

As spring sprung in Denver, Colorado, THE AFTER PARTY set forth on a journey to find new BAD MANNERS.

Little did they know HONEYDRIPS and STEEL TRAINS were also planning on a trip to BOUNCING SOUL land.

As everyone approached their final destination on their long safari, DARK LOTUS’ took over and took everyone hostage until they’d sing TIGER ARMY and LADYTRON lullabies.

Ok…we know it’s not great, but check out the bands anyway!

Drowning Pool Returns For Another Swim!

Katy Bruns — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 15:03:00 MDT

Drowning Pool will be returning to the Gothic on Wedesday, April 30th for the second time in the last year to promote their latest album “Full Circle”.

At the previous concert Drowning Pool had a great support line up including the powerful yet molodic band The Exies, and Denver’s own hard rockers Random Hero.

When Drowning Pool took the stage the crowd was well warmed up and ready to see Drowning Pool’s new set. The songs were mostly off of the new ablum, but there was still time for classics such as “Tearing Away” and the chart topper “Bodies”. They even threw in a cover of Billy Idol.

This year’s show will be just as entertaining as it was the last time, and the support will be great as always.

Get your tickets Saturday at 10 AM! They will go fast!

NEW MUSIC!!!

Katy Bruns — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 14:21:00 MDT

Broadway Calls has very energetic sets and can be seen this summer on the Vans Warped Tour. You can check out their music on myspace or at Broadway Calls. Happy listening!

Sea Wolf...

Katy Bruns — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 16:32:00 MST

His back story sounds like this…

Nomadic childhood, slow integration into LA’s band scene, then sudden burst to fan’s ears. His stage name was borrowed from “Wolf Larsen, the villainous, ingenious swashbuckler at the helm of Jack London’s 1904 The Sea-Wolf…”

And front story goes like this..

Phil Ek (Producer: The Shins, Built To Spill, Band of Horses) recognized Sea Wolf’s talent for story telling and now we all get to listen to beautiful narratives about life’s obstacles and celebrations.

Sea Wolf opens for Nada Surf at The Gothic Theatre on Tuesday, April 1st. If you’d like to read more about Sea Wolf, check out his bio on Dangerbird Records.

NY Dolls' Attitude: "got into rock's water supply and never left"

Katy Bruns — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 11:03:00 MST

“Mick Jagger stole everything from David Johansen!” …of the New York Dolls.

Morrissey recently exclaimed this with a fervor that somehow made his chronologically impossible claims seem plausible…

…Everyone knows the famous logo: chrome lipstick, scrawling that name across an unseen mirror, but it’s more than the great brand. It’s not about the androgyny either. Skinny boys were wearing make up long before them. Little Richard. Elvis.

It’s not even about the music, as the Dolls themselves were
always quick to credit 50’s R&B numbers or early 60’s girl group productions as their own influences.

Really, what makes the Dolls so eternal is the attitude – it got into rock’s water supply and never left.
Check out the New York Dolls at The Gothic Theatre tonight, Tuesday, February 26th @ 7:30 PM.

Tickets are $20 at The Gothic Theatre’s box office…see you tonight!

On Sale Saturday, February 23rd @ 10 AM!

Not only does OneRepublic have a wonderfully melodic/hip hop infused single out right now called Apologize (yep, with Timbaland’s production…) but a video for it, too!

These guys might look like your typical metal band, but dig a little deeper and you’ll find they are intense about both their songwriting and commitment to their musicianship.

Their biography even reads that their songwriting isn’t about creating “mindless, mass marketed pop music,” but about standing up for what each one of them believes in.

All That Remains, Haste The Day, and Through The Eyes of the Dead support this show. Get your tickets now because they’re going fast!

Saturday finds Bayside here with June, The Sleeping, A Day To Remember, and Driver Side Impact.

Doors open at 6:00 PM sharp and tickets are $14.25.

Cafe Tacuba rounds out the weekend when they play here on Sunday, November 25th.

We can’t wait for these guys to come through…if you can’t wait either then check out their Volver a Comenzar video on MySpace. You might particularly enjoy the animated section…
