Fresh of the success of last week’s 24-hour telethon, Savage Henry Comedy Club still has the lights on and is putting on the good stuff for the all-ages crowds who just want something fucking loud and heavy in their lives. I’m talking about another installment of Metal Monday. This week’s lineup is an international affair, […]

The Miniplex is hosting a mid-week creepshow with Loveland, Colorado’s Doom Scroll, an acoustic crust punk band with a unique sound built on heavy picking and the loud/quiet dynamics and bratty singing from the heyday of American emo music.

I’m going to keep pumping up shows at Savage Henry Comedy Club for as long as it takes for the ship to right itself, the public to keep it afloat and beyond. I have an agenda when it comes to keeping our offbeat and one-of-a-kind clubs alive, particularly those who host all-ages shows, because Lord […]

It wouldn’t be a proper calendar year in Humco without a visit from Afroman, the busy cult-famous rapper and occasional presidential candidate whose prodigious output eclipses his early claim to fame, 2000’s “Because I Got High.” The man tours relentlessly and kicks out blunt wrapped comedy jams nearly yearly, so he’s a legend in my […]

After 8 p.m. you will find two fine specimens of Americana sounds from the local scene, Corduroy Gangsters and Idle Spurs. It won’t quite be a honky-tonk, but it’ll be within whistlin’ […]

The good folks at the Creative Sanctuary are continuing Homage to the Message, a chronological celebration of various satellite members of the Jazz Messengers.

Another Metal Night at Savage Henry Comedy Club. As of me writing this up, this one’s only advertised with the headliner, which is a blackened crust metal band from Washington State called Xynox. Who knows what the bill will look like between my deadline and showtime, but I guarantee it will be interesting, as every […]
