It's sweater weather! You can mosh out or stand in the corner listening to great local music in the comfort of your favorite hoodie, sweater, or vest. I've been attached to my hoodie for 15 years. I've tried to buy a new one after I sewed the sleeves of my trusty black garment so many times that the needle was making the holes larger, but I haven't found one that fits just so. When I catch a live show in my hoodie, it's like sharing the night with a good friend. You may not be as nostalgic as I am, but here are some places and people you might want to meet with your favorite climate control garb.
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.
Somewhere between the light and vacant instrument cases lie a small stuffed giraffe named Girard and the one-man act appropriately named Galaxies (Dillon Groeneman of Colorado Springs). The second in a line-up of three young white guys touting electronica in early June at The Downtown Bar, Galaxies tells the crowd that this is the threesome's first performance on their journey to Texas for a mini tour.
The sidewalks are getting warmer, the daylight longer, and the need to get out on the town is simmering. The only things dead cold are our wallets.
That's where The Downbeat blues club at 1335 E. Evans Avenue comes in.
The house band, Fat Chance Blues Band, plays on Friday and Saturday nights starting at 8pm for FREE. Since I just spent my last Jackson on my trash bill, The Downbeat sounds like the best bet for a banknote-challenged broad.
Sometimes you find something that's not intended to be found. Yet, in the finding, you realize the inherent nature of the find. At the last music show for The Red Raven Studio under the current promoters, the lineup is befitting of the last supper - WeAre Not a Glum Lot and The Jack Trades of Colorado Springs; Pueblo locals, The Sasquatch and The Assault Shakers (with Inaiah Lujan of The Haunted Windchimes); and headliners, O'Death of Brooklyn, New York.
