local bands we recommend
The O-Tone Brass Band	The hippest, coolest, butt-shakingest, get up on the bar and blow a killer solo in your faciest, brass band in Denver. Don't miss 'em.
Devotchka	One of the finest bands on the planet.
Slim Cessna's Auto Club	If we've ever envied any other Denver band, this is it.
Cabaret Diosa	An old favorite of ours. Mambo! Mambo! Mambo! Mambo!
32-20 Jug Band	Washtub bass, mandolin, jug, guitar. Foot stomping guaranteed. E-mail only.
The Hellmen	Goofball avant garage sound. The between-song antics are almost as entertaining as the music itself. Laugh if you dare.
Damn Shambles	They like to jump up and down, the songs are short, and the drummer could snap you in half like a twig. A fine example of Denver's garage rock.
The Scoffed	Loud, great song writing, great musicianship. Rockabilly guitar + punk bass + metal drums = songs about beer and aliens. Loud.
Sidewinder	Great rockin' music with a country edge. The crazy hat-wearin' guy on steel guitar will Elmore James your ass.
The Down-and-Outs	The best garage rock in Denver. We haven't actually ever seen them..
Puppet Camp	A band that's not afraid to do Patsy Cline right after a song by X. And the lead singer has some pretty good pipes.
Mystery Children	Improvised avant garde wacko stuff you can't beat with a hot dog. They feature the worst turntablist in the United States.
Munly	He's in the paper all the time and he's in Slim Cessna's Auto Club. Another wacko.
The Sin Shakers	Sloppy rockabilly just the way it was played by exuberant youths in the late fifties, except these are ninties and so it sounds a little different.
Kalamath Brothers	Featuring Fank Hauser, Jr. They put the SOUND in the sound of music. E-mail only.
Yonder Mountain String Band	We haven't actually heard these guys, but Soapy met the banjo player a couple times in Illinois. They gotta be good.
Apples in Stereo	The standard bearers of the Denver Pop Sound That Everyone Keeps Talking About. They are poppy and they are good.
