Cha Wa performs Saturday, June 8 at The Greeley Blues jam at Island Grove Park.Dan England · May 22, 2019ReviewsAlbum Review: Trash Cat – Welcome To Trash CityTry not to say “quirky” when describing Trash Cat. Red-headed singer/bandleader Mary Claxton wields a sassy ukulele, backed by her husband Brian, a beardy University jazz instructor, and funky, mohawked baritone saxophonist Hayden Farr. (Say what?) Throw in references to Scooby Doo and titles like “Robot Girlfriend” and it pretty much seals the quirky deal. Plus, their release show takes place inside a laser tag arena. Say what?Kevin Johnston · Mar 25, 2019FeaturesThe Steady Hand Behind The Jam: Leftover Salmon’s Jeremy GrantJeremy Grant admits he doesn’t even really like jam bands. Regardless, the 40-year-old Greeley native is the monitor engineer and stage manager for Leftover Salmon, one of the most celebrated jam bands around.Dan England · Mar 13, 2019FeaturesThe Stubby Shillelaghs: Growth, Depth and The Great WarOn the new Stubby Shillelaghs EP, The Great War, the band covers classic tunes that detail the horrors of war, with a special focus on World War I. Knaub got the idea for the record from a popular podcast, Hardcore History, by Dan Carlin, a show that details “the extremes of human existence,” Knaub said. The band will play at the Moxi Theater on Saturday, December 15 performing The Great War in its entirety, but you shouldn’t expect to see the Stubbies play many gigs in Greeley any longer.Dan England · Dec 10, 2018ReviewsAlbum Review: Igaus Davis – Keep Your Candles Close ByKeep Your Candles Close By is sonically, emotionally intimate and thematically concise, teasing at something we won’t see pan out. Some strife within the band Igaus Davis has lead to this being their final release, creating sonically solemn vignettes of despair and resignation.Jack McManaman · Dec 2, 2018FeaturesThe Greeley Phil’s Got You (And Your Kazoo Too)The next time you attend a Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra concert, you may want to bring your kazoo.Dan England · Nov 2, 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, 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, 2018FeaturesFlatland Cavalry – The Real StuffCleto Cordero grew up in Lubbock, Texas, a dusty city in an area dominated by oil rigs and the badlands.Dan England · Aug 1, 2018

While his work in Disguise The Silence pushed for an intense heaviness, the end result could at times come across as sporadic to the casual listener. Tired Bones is much more concise, with tight guitar licks and dare I say poppy melodies, clearly showing Olivier as the captain of the ship.Jed Murphy · Feb 1, 2018Concert PhotosSilver & Gold, Overslept, The Bright Silence, Tyto Alba @ Moxi Theater – Greeley[vc_row][vc_column][vc_masonry_media_grid grid_id=”vc_gid:1526502355578-4270e2c6-bcd3-6″ include=”18761,18760,18759,18758,18757,18756″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_wp_text]Silver & Gold album release show with Overslept, The Bright Silence and Tyto Alba at Moxi Theater on January 19th, 2018[/vc_wp_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]Talia Lezama · Jan 19, 2018Concert PhotosRedlands, Its Just Bugs, this broken beat, Valienta @ Moxi Theater – Greeley[vc_row][vc_column][vc_masonry_media_grid grid_id=”vc_gid:1526502991863-da09a672-fe38-7″ include=”18766,18767,18768,18769,18770,18771,18772,18773,18774,18775,18776,18777,18778,18779,18780,18781,18782,18783″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_wp_text]Redlands with Its Just Bugs, this broken beat and Valienta at Moxi Theater on January 14th, 2018.[/vc_wp_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]Talia Lezama · Jan 14, 2018MusicAlbum Review: Igaus Davis – Too Fallow, Too LongIgaus Davis, real name Matt Davis, has a story relatively common in the emerging Greeley music scene.Jed Murphy · Sep 8, 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, 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, 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, 2016FeaturesFirst Platoon Studios – A Family DynastySkipdogg tha Souja is a man of the Greeley hip hop scene.Jed Murphy · Mar 21, 2016
