FeaturesWriting on the Wall, Festival on the Screen: FoCoMX at the Drive-In and On the WebThis weekend, in lieu of the real, re-scheduled thing, FoCoMX will offer “A Digital Retrospective” of photos taken by fans as well as rare backstage shots by FoCoMX staff on September 4-5 via the festival’s social media channels. The festival wants to celebrate the fan perspective and involvement as well as host live, in-person music to folks in their cars every Tuesday via Drive & Jive, pulling from its scheduled lineup of more than 400 acts.Dan England · Sep 2, 2020FeaturesKyle Hollingsworth Band Finally Jams On A Full TankKyle Hollingsworth and his bandmates in The String Cheese Incident had been on tour for a solid decade.Kevin Johnston · Sep 7, 2020MusicAlbum Review: Gasoline Lollipops – All The Misery Money Can BuyOne of Colorado’s most popular bands, The Gasoline Lollipops, will be delivering what can arguably be considered their masterpiece on September 11, 2020. “All the Misery Money Can Buy” has been described by the band as a politically charged union of soul music and Southern rock, blending singer Clay Rose’s gritty singing style with what appears to be a full-on gospel choir. It sounds like it was recorded at the Crossroads in the presence of the devil himself.Nate Wilde · Sep 9, 2020FeaturesGirls Just Wanna Own A Label: 17-Year-Old Maddie Hein’s Dream Cult Press Provides a Platform For DIY Musicians“I mean, what is stopping us? Why don’t we?” said Maddie Hein of Dream Cult Press. Well, she was 17, but that wasn’t enough, apparently. Nor was the fact that they met online and not in her hometown of Greeley (one of them, in fact, was from Kazakhstan). The new indie label released their first album in July 2019 and started picking up fans and followers, but quickly also decided to use their platform to benefit individuals and organizations that were helping out during protests across the country.Valerie Vampola · Sep 10, 2020FeaturesHungry for Humor: Comedy Fort Takes the Place of Hodi’s HalfNoteDavid Rodriguez’ first comedy set, more than five years ago, was at Hodi’s Half Note, the beloved FoCo rock club which recently announced its closing. He believes it’s fitting, then, that he will open Comedy Fort in the Hodi’s building, probably sometime in January. “When this opportunity came about, it just felt perfect,” Rodriguez said.Dan England · Sep 15, 2020105.5 The Colorado Sound's Featured ArtistsThe Colorado Sound’s My5 – September 2020BandWagon Magazine · Sep 22, 2020MusicAlbum Review: Bison Bone – Find Your Way OutBison Bone is a little bit country, a little bit rock & roll, and fully led by the boisterous singer/songwriter Courtney Whitehead.Cole Peterson · Sep 23, 2020MusicAlbum Review: Royce DeZorzi & The New Freedom MovementRoyce DeZorzi & The New Freedom Movement have a pocket groove, play elongated solos, and do a great job of building energy collectively. But what really stands out about their debut album is not the notes they play, but how they want the listeners to hear them: every track on the album is a first take recorded live, directly to tape.Valerie Vampola · Sep 24, 2020MusicAlbum Review: The Wild After – Former LivesColorado alt rock legends The Wild After are back with their second EP after the release of Lessons Learned in 2014.Laura Giagos · Sep 28, 2020MusicAlbum Review: NOT A TOY – Not A ToyGaudy for the sake of it, NOT A TOY’s self-titled release is as bombastic as it is fearless. Coincidently signed to Fearless Records, the former Fort Collins (and formerly named Shatterproof), Denver band is hitting an incredible new level. NOT A TOY is one of the most prolific recording projects to come out of Colorado in a while.Laura Giagos · Sep 30, 2020
