Denver Post Underground Music Showcase
[Click image for high resolution glory]
Not content with backing just one music festival this summer, Merry Swankster.com is happy to help present the Denver Post Underground Music Showcase. Reppin' both NYC and the Mile-Hi, cause that's how we do...
Official Press Release:
Denver Post UMS more than triples in size, marries your mom, programs her VCRDENVER, Colo. – Hear that? It’s the sound of an exploding underground music scene, complete with arson-quality accelerants and heart-shaped shrapnel in yr stonewashed jeans.
The Denver Post’s seventh annual Underground Music Showcase returns to South Broadway in downtown Denver on Sat., Aug. 11, 2007 with more than triple the number of bands and double the venues. Last year we wrangled 25 of the Mile High City’s most exciting indie rock, folk, electronic/DJs, gothic country, punk – you name it – into venues like the Hi-Dive, Three Kings Tavern and the Skylark.
This year we return with over 80 bands, DJs and comedians in a dozen venues, all for only $10 per wristband ($12 day of the show), which allows you to move freely from venue to venue without cover. We’re expecting 2,500-3,000 music lovers this year, up from the 1,000 that showed up in 2006. The best part? 100 percent of the door proceeds go to the bands.
On Aug. 5 the Denver Post will also run the results of its comprehensive annual Underground Music Poll, which queries 100 area critics, writers, musicians, label and venue owners to determine which act deserves the mantle of Best Local Band. Previous winners include Munly & Lee Lewis Harlots (2006), Matson Jones (2005), Dressy Bessy (2004), Planes Mistaken for Stars (2003), DeVotchKa (2002) and Sixteen Horsepower (2001)..
If you’d like to write about the festival, contact one of the nice people above. And please forward to his to anyone else that cares about local music…
