Not only was Stone Temple Pilots returning to Colorado after a mind-numbing show at the Fillmore this past fall (see previous entry: STP Still Rock to the Core!), they were bringing with them an arsenal of music that mixed the new with chunksofchangehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06496281233922861828noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977518400981182116.post-44566629346651155912010-04-14T10:21:00.022-06:002010-04-21T22:16:15.885-06:00Denver Concert Wire: Upcoming shows w/Fair to Midland, Family of the Year, Local Natives, Yeasayer/Sleigh Bells & MoreThe month of April has been great for music, and tough on the wallet. With so many good bands on deck to play in Denver, how does one decide which acts to see? Do you follow the crowd and go where your friends go? To the "brought to you by" concerts which feature more advertising than music? Or do you stick with the up-and-coming acts?

The ManThis week's "chunks of new music" list presents exciting new releases from talent, some known and some soon-to-be-known.With the spring/summer concert season kicking in to high-gear, festivals from South by Southwest to Sasquatch! are starting to confirm lineups which place top acts alongside the showcase artists you are all about to become familiar and (dare I say!?) fall in love with.A typical Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977518400981182116.post-82710292297089215792010-03-02T22:16:00.001-07:002010-03-02T22:16:17.041-07:00Local Natives: U.S. Tour on JamBaseLocal Natives: U.S. Tour on JamBasePosted using ShareThischipherterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15570967509067699586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977518400981182116.post-14705824225951716762010-02-19T13:01:00.001-07:002010-02-19T13:02:56.097-07:00The 2010 Preview Player by Chunks of ChangeI could gush on and on about the multitude of good bands spawning up from around the globe right now, but the only person that would be fun for is me I'm sure. SO, rather than make you sift through my garb, I will let the music speak for itsel (plus it's much more fun this way).
The following is a list of the bands which have made my forecast to do bigger and better things in 2k10.

It's because every time you see them it's like you we're the first one at the Pub, and you loaded the juke-box with all your favorite music before anyone else had a chance to. It is classic after classic song, stirring the emotions you get from a good, no, great chipherterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15570967509067699586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977518400981182116.post-6243563575921430932009-10-06T01:51:00.006-06:002009-10-06T03:03:58.335-06:00Toi, Moi, Nous!I have discovered that if there is any place the rain is more acceptable to your environment than Seattle, it is Paris. Creating an environment of warmth that contradicts the air so crisp, your breath says "Bonjour!" in a visible puff with every word. Amidst a sea of designer umbrellas and children far too fashionable for their own good, I have found myself in love with a new city.

Your Passion Pit Is Showing...Passion Pit, MannersI don't know what a "Passion Pit" is, but I-eee Like it! There is something infectious about this East Coast outfit. Maybe it's their singalong choruses, or their melodies that etch into your brain like its granite, or maybe its the elementary school choir they use as an unofficial sixth member of the band!

The song hits you with the intensity of a grizzly bear, and the only good reaction to it is to feign death and take what's coming to you.This song grabs you with its catchy hooks, massive melodies and chipherterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15570967509067699586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977518400981182116.post-35141050665588139542009-05-12T09:59:00.000-06:002009-05-12T10:48:10.741-06:00Empire for the MassesEmpire of the Sun, Walking on a DreamFollowing the current trend in Electro/Indie Pop-Rock, I present you with Empire of the Sun and their debut album Walking on a Dream.
