MusicAlbum Review: Grace Kuch – Self-Titled DebutWhile BandWagon covers any and all music thrown our way, we have never heard any work from a child artist up until now.Jay Wallace · Apr 11, 2016FeaturesThe UNC Greeley Jazz FestivalThe UNC Greeley Jazz Festival is shaking things up once again this April.Natalie Allen · Apr 11, 2016New on 94.3 The XNew on 94.3 The X: Songs You Need to Hear This MonthMollie Kendrick | On Air Mon.-Fri. 6am-10amMollie Pearson · Apr 11, 2016FeaturesShinin’ – Up Close and Personal with Bastard Suns’ Clay HiersBastard Suns are hitting the road partly in support of legendary ska band The English Beat and make a stop in Greeley Tuesday, April 19. Hiers took some time in between soundchecks to talk Powell Peralta, comparisons to Sublime and why he’s a “bastard sun.”Kyle Eustice · Apr 11, 2016MusicEP Review: Montoneros – Heat HorseThe latest offering from Montoneros, Heat Horse, is an exciting release which goes on a journey through many different and incredible musical elements. Recorded in Black and Bluhm Studios with Chris Fogel, the group was astonishingly able to record the entire EP in a single day. Don’t let this fast paced studio venture fool you; this EP is well thought out and the musicianship in these songs is undeniable.Zach Shepherd · Apr 11, 2016FeaturesBack in Effect – Luniz Reunite for 420 ShowThere’s not a stoner alive who doesn’t know the song “I Got Five On It” by the Oakland-based duo, Luniz. Released in 1995 on their seminal album, Operation Stakola, it took Yukmouth and Numskull from every day street hustlers to platinum selling artists seemingly overnight.Kyle Eustice · Apr 11, 2016FeaturesOne Bar at a Time – Masta Ace’s Rise to Veteran Rapper StatusIn 1987, Masta Ace (real name Duval Clear) was back in his hometown of Brownsville, Brooklyn for Christmas break.Kyle Eustice · Apr 11, 2016MusicAlbum Review: T.V. Girl – Who Really CaresUpon first listen, the lush layers, hushed vocals, and bedroom style production put you into a dreamlike haze that makes you want to dance your way down to the beach on a summer afternoon. Petering’s soft spoken vocals perfectly compliment his production, and can be compared to the likes of Toro y Moi, The Books, or Washed Out.Noel Billups · Apr 11, 2016MusicAlbum Review: Jimkata – In MotionAs far as synth bands go, the three-piece Jimkata from Ithaca, New York is not here to fit in any EDM or electro indie pop box that so many modern bands find themselves in.Jed Murphy · Apr 18, 2016FeaturesA Rare “Wolf” from London Comes to Red Rocks: Wolf AliceIf you’re lucky enough to have heard the band from North London known as Wolf Alice you know that they are a band of many genres.Talia Lezama · Apr 30, 2016
