November-December 2011

7dayys_1111

The question was posed: Can Pueblo offer seven consecutive nights of live music? Since there are many regular weekly events Tuesday through Saturday, seven days would be trivial  - except that every week has a Sunday and a Monday.  Serendipitously, I was being asked to record Sonic Vomit during a thrash show at Phil's on a Monday preceding a regular (fourth) Sunday Jazz show at the Riverside. I accepted the challenge.

There's an interesting thing afoot in Pueblo's music scene these days. No, I didn't hear you singing belligerently off-key in the shower. I'm talking about the variety of musicians Peebs has seen this summer. A handful of promoters, each seemingly a specialist in a certain genre, have largely been responsible. They've all staked out different venues in the downtown area: Phil's Radiator, The Senate, The Downtown Bar and Joey's Pixie Inn.
