FeaturesGallagher – Smashing The ScriptAs tempting as it would be for legendary comedian, performer Gallagher to cull from his many stand-up comedy shows on Showtime or his fame as one of the more well-known comics of the 1980s because he smashed stuff on stage, Gallagher doesn’t want to rehash those gags or rely on a bit that he’s performed thousands of times. He couldn’t work that way. Gallagher will play on Sunday, September 16 at the Moxi Theater, which, as cool as it is, is not an art center. It’s a concert venue, which means Gallagher can make a mess.Dan England · Sep 1, 2018FeaturesThe Great Salmon Famine – Pinnacle FunA fun-focused consideration of audience perspective permeates the party ethos of The Great Salmon Famine. Releasing the single “The Funky Circus” September 4 via bandwagmag.com and winning our 2018 Battle Of The Bands with a dancey, fan-favorited final round, their energetic live show is an expected highlight at this year’s Block Party in downtown Greeley on Friday, September 21.Kevin Johnston · Sep 1, 2018ReviewsAlbum Review: Draghoria – Thrash ADDraghoria is a multi-generational metal band from Greeley with a recurring theme that describes their music to a tee – thrash metal.Nate Wilde · Sep 10, 2018FeaturesShatterproof: The Re-Definition of FineSpeaking with Shatterproof drummer Benji Spoliansky over the phone, the excitement he had looking forward to 2019 was almost palpable.Jed Murphy · Sep 13, 2018ReviewsAlbum Review: Murder By Death: The Other ShoreIn 2014, Murder By Death was the first Rock & Roll act to play the historic Stanley Hotel in Estes Park; this year, their fifth annual winter residency extended to five sold-out shows. As much as the American Gothic sound of Murder By Death fits the open prairies and rugged mountains of Northern Colorado, it is equally out of this world. It’s fitting, then, that their latest studio album, The Other Shore is a space western.Nick Bode · Sep 14, 2018ReviewsAlbum review: Jungle – For EverLondon based neo-soul band Jungle are gearing up to release what is going to be the best sleeper album of the year.Jed Murphy · Sep 17, 2018105.5 The Colorado Sound's Featured Artists105.5 The Colorado Sound – Top Picks You Should Hear In SeptemberOn their 9th studio album, Death Cab For Cutie continues the sound that started bringing them fans 20 years ago. Rich Costey’s ethereal production keeps Ben’s light & dream-like vocals out front so we can hear the nuances in his thought-provoking lyrics. Brooklyn’s Josh Karpeh (aka Cautious Clay) is a 25-year-old artist with a very clear sonic vision. He made a splash earlier this year with his debut EP Blood Type and a quick follow up with the Resonance EP in June. Charley Crockett is a troubadour in the truest sense of the word. Crockett left home in his teens, hopping railroad cars and busking on the streets to earn his keep. He even spent a year in Paris before returning to his native Texas. In the late 90’s and early 2000’s, The Rock*A*Teens were a band you liked so as to be cooler than your Pavement & Liz Phair-loving friends. Over their 5 albums, no band has combined the ethos of indie rock, rockabilly, and punk better. Hailing from the thriving music neighborhood of Cabbagetown in Atlanta, GA, their influence has been crucial to indie rock.BandWagon Magazine · Sep 27, 2018
