By: Hannah Oreskovich

We’ve spent one whole glorious week in 2016 friends! And it sure has been a good one. But we’re ready for another weekend! Check out our six shows to see the next two nights:

Today (Friday, 01/08)

BANDITS, The Velveteers, Shark Fin Soup, & Bourgeois Girl at The Forge in Boulder 630PM-Close

BANDITS.

BANDITS.

If you haven’t already taken a spin with BANDITS new single “Kill Tonight” this week, you'd better right now kids! The Boulder rock trio dropped the track with a sweet Consequence of Sound feature Tuesday, but the song is now available for download everywhere, with their 7” set to drop in March. The BANDITS crew is headlining tonight’s gig at The Forge, and it’s one that can’t be missed! Sharing the stage: rock duo The Velveteers, indie four-piece Shark Fin Soup, and folk trio Bourgeois Girl. It’s an all-Boulder lineup and we’ll be snapping pics at the show, so come hang with us and all of these badass bands! See you there.

Watch BANDITS live performance of “Kill Tonight” on Second Story Garage here:

Silent Bear Electric Band at License No.1 in Boulder 9PM-Close

SILENT BEAR.

SILENT BEAR.

Not too long ago, we brought you a sweet sit-down with Boulder’s Silent Bear. And tonight, he’s playing with his Electric Band at License No. 1. Comprised of Audree Dillard (drums/vocals), Sam Fuqua (bass) and the Silent Bear himself (guitar, vocals), tonight’s show is sure to be a treat. So go sip a martini and listen to this goodness downtown!

Comprised of Neal Behrendt (keys/guitar), Kyle Bergen (drums), Mike Bruin (sax), and Robin Powers (bass/synth), Boulder’s Brothers in Armistice want to get down with you at The No Name tonight peeps. The four-piece funk fusion collective will be breaking beats behind the big brown door this evening, so go get warm with a good whiskey and listen to this crew knock it down! Learn more about the band on their FB page.

Tomorrow (Saturday, 01/09)

Intimate Evening featuring Blackalicious with Beak Nasty, Qbala, Jerney, and Indigenous Peoples at Hodi’s Half Note in Fort Collins 5PM-Close

There’s a mad impressive lineup at Hodi’s tonight and things are going to get intimate. Oakland’s rap/hip hop duo Blackalicious is headlining tonight's show with performances by Boulder funk/hip hop group Beak Nasty, Fort Collins’ own hip hop artist Qbala, Denver’s hip hop artist Jerney (who you may remember we featured last year here), and Boulder’s hip hop/rock/jazz outfit Indigenous Peoples. It’s a pretty powerful night of Colorado musical forces joining under Blackalicious, and tickets are only $17 in advance. Get yours here! We’ll be covering press at this event, so come catch this show with us tomorrow night at Hodi’s!

Check out a few Blackalicious tracks:

These two songstresses will be holding things down over a few glasses of wine tomorrow night at The Infinite Monkey Theorem. Here’s why they’re a sweet show combo: Shreve’s haunting voice and piano prowess + Riley Ann’s energetic and impressively looped one-woman-band getup = a guarantee that you’ll be dazzled watching each of these performers live. The two will be making magic at the winery, so roll in and get a pour with these lovely ladies.

We dropped a feature on The Pamlico Sound just a couple of days ago, which you can peep right here. It was one of our craziest chats to date, and tonight’s performance at the LD sounds like it will be equally insane. Making for a strong return in 2016, TPS has promised tonight’s show will include funk baptisms, amazing antics by Pastor Will B aka The Reverend Every Ready and more. It’s going to be a fantastic party of funk and you’d better make your way there Boulder!

Watch a live performance of The Pamlico Sound at The Fox Theatre:

PS: This week, our Sunday feature with Green Light Radio and Streetside Productions will feature a track by Boulder rock group GingerSlap! We’ll bring you a full rundown on them Monday, but in the meantime, tune in to 95.5 in Boulder, or stream it live to hear their song “Stay the Same” Sunday night between 9-10PM!

Cool options in several Colorado spots for the weekend? We can dig. See you around Beaters.
