Denver Supergroups

There are two pretty new local supergroups with upcoming shows I've been getting really excited about!

HOUSES
Houses is an indie-pop group with members of Widowers, Blue Million Miles, Hearts of Palm, Harpoontang and a bunch of others. They'll be at the Hi-Dive on Friday March, 20th opening up for other local bands D. Biddle and Everything Absent or Distorted. Definitely check out this show because D. Biddle shows are few and far between these days.




SNAKE RATTLE RATTLE SNAKE
This band features members of Bad Luck City, Monofog, Mr. Pacman and Hawks of Paradise. They're so secret and hip there's not much info about them to be found on the interweb. They'll be at the Hi-Dive also on March 26th opening up for Ideal Fathers and Lion Sized. Don't miss them either!

Local Hip Hop

The Colorado Rap Report blog just put up a free comp of local hip hop artists including 1865, Maneline, Pirate Signal, 1190's Kid Hum and a bunch of others. The perfect way to learn about our thriving local hip hop scene! Click on the image to get to the download link and tracklist. I'll be playing some songs from the comp on today's Local Shakedown show from 4-6. Tune in!

Thanks to the Westword blog for this tip!
