music news

Lots of little tidbits to mention.

The Film on the Rocks series (movies @ Red Rocks) is back. On 6/20, Friday, it's Fight Club. Movie starts at 9 but get there a few hours early because Slim Cessna's Auto Club will be playing live music before it gets dark. It's $10 if you can get your ticket early at King Soopers. Otherwise $12 at the door.

So Say Hi is planning another long tour this fall, with probably a Denver date in there. Nothing official yet, so we'll have to wait and see. In the meantime, there's a couple dates with The Long Winters in California next month.

We just have to mention, if you are going to Taste of Chicago, Summerfest, Austin City Limits Festival or Bumbershoot this year, Old 97s are going to be at all of those. How exciting

The new album from Rose Hill Drive (of Boulder) is out Tuesday, 6/24, and they play free at Twist and Shout 6/25 at 6 p.m.

The Colorado Symphony has all sorts of goodies planned for the July 4 weekend. On Thursday, 7/3, they play FREE at City Park, 7 p.m. Then that Sunday, 7/6 @ 7:30 p.m., there's a "free" concert at Red Rocks (parking is $10 though, so I don't know, bring the van and stuff it with seven people?) Good deals, anyway

Do you like Counting Crows? They're looking for someone to design their summer tour poster (for free -- though the band will sign the winner's poster. Whee.) The winner's design will be sold on tour. You have to enter by July 1. More rules here

There's probably something we're forgetting, but we'll get back to you.
