Wheelchair Sports Camp - Upcoming Show!

Are you burned out on holiday music yet? I know I am. A person can only handle so much "Grandma got ran over by a reindeer," before you start wishing you could switch places with that grandma.

If you want to get out, relax a bit before the real insanity of the season strikes, check out Wheelchair Sports Camp at Old Curtis Street Bar on December 23rd. They'll be performing alongside the High Tops, 3two, and Amateur Ape Crew.

Old Curtis is located at 2100 Curtis Street in Denver.

Even if you can't make it out, drowning in eggnog as you are, make sure to vote for Wheelchair Sports Camp or whoever your favorite musician may be for the Colorado Music Buzz Bandwagon contest. Finally, check out the Buzz interview with WSC in this month's issue.

Steel Panther at the Ogden

The 80's metal comedy awesome that is Steel Panther played the Ogden on Friday. The hair was flying and the Spandex was...dexing I guess. There was easily a full thousand in attendance who shared in the laughs and the amusing anthems of the Panther. The Ninja Priestess herself, Aeon Cruz, was there to snag a whole bunch of imagey goodness.

Rob Halford and Philm at the Ogden

One of Colorado's best photogs Jason Paul Roberts hit up the Halford show for some pics. The show was ludicrous and full of legends including Mr. Halford and Dave Lombardo from Slayer whose new post hardcore side gig Philm opened the whole shebang. Here's some of the wicked goodness.

After Battling Cancer, Chris Daniels returns to Denver to take the Swallow Hill Music stage

WHAT: Chris Daniels concert, "An Acoustic Night with Chris Daniels & Friends", 12-10-10
WHERE: 71 East Yale Ave., Denver, CO 80210 at 8 p.m.
INFO & BOX OFFICE: www.swallowhillmusic.org, (303) 777-1003 x2
TICKETS: $15 Advance; $17 Day of Show. $2 discount for Swallow Hill members
DENVER — Swallow Hill Music is thrilled to welcome home its former Executive Director and musician Chris Daniels of Chris Daniels and the Kings for An Acoustic Night with Chris Daniels & Friends.

After a difficult battle with leukemia and many months living in Houston, Chris has returned to Denver and will take the stage to continue his amazing music storytelling with his tradition of blending blues, funk, rock, and maybe even some creole jazz with the help of his friends.

Ironically, Chris and friends will be playing on the night that country hall of famer Charlie Louvin was scheduled to play Daniels Hall. That performance was canceled due to Charlie's continued struggle with pancreatic cancer. We trust that on the night of 12/10 some good health vibes will be in the house to send Charlie's way.

Please join us and get tickets early for this special night to celebrate both Chris' good health and great music!

Anthrax in Denver

Anthrax played their first show in Colorado in a looong time. Ninja photographer Jason Paul Roberts clicked the goodness. Here tis:

Rock and Roll Marathon

It was dark and cold, and the lines for the porta-potties were long. 15,000 runners woke up early and made it to the start of the race. For me, it was camera in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other. I knew I wasn't running the race but photographing the event is a sport all of it's own. I had my press pass, press parking, and no fear. I started with the great view of the start of the race standing next to the channel 4 News team. I was a little wired on caffeine and chatting up a storm not knowing they are live the entire time. Oops! My apologies to anyone listening I may have said a bad word or more in regards to the cold. Doing what I do I climbed a tree, chased runners who made for good photo ops, and cheered from the asphalt where I took pics of the shoes from ground level. Okay I moved a few barriers to get the best shots but hey, that's what I do.

Now as for the event, I think it was very well organized, especially for a first time, except for one minor detail..... Rock and Roll!! I love that they had all local talent on the track but over half of the bands were NOT Rock and Roll, there was Celtic, Rap, Reggae... so if it was to be a world music marathon then they had it right. Denver has a lot of great Rock bands that should have been there.

Now for a little fun I did go up and check out Brethren Fast, and the boys were rocking it out on 17th and Pearl next to a competitor porta-pottie with yet another long line. The jokes are plentiful with running to the bathroom, doing the potty dance...

300 plus photos later, and I headed home to go back to bed.

PS- The Ronald McDonald clown was too freaky for words!
