“INK” TO PREMIERE IN DENVER

By: Mark Siebert

My Brother and I met Jamin Winans a few years back when we played “Spin” at the Toofy Film Fest 2005. “Spin” is still one of my favorite short films to this day. I’m excited to announce that Jamin’s new feature-length Indie Sci-Fi Fantasy film “Ink” will be opening in Denver at the Starz FilmCenter for a two-week run beginning Friday, March 13th.

OJO POR OJO

By: Josh Wills

Ojo Por Ojo (Eye For Eye) is the title of Shitty Kitten’s new show at Plastic Chapel which opens February 14th! Can you tell me a better way to spend Valentine’s Day?… suriously? Shitty Kitten aka Markham Maes always comes full force, his last show on East Colfax nearly sold out… I’d suggest rolling through early if you’d like to get your greasy little mits on a piece. The super block will be lit up that night… with shows also running at The Fabric Lab (Photogrpaher: Ryan Resch) as well as The Shoppe (Theo Knox).

 

CacheFlowe

By: Mark Siebert


With his new EP, Cache, Stacks & Queues, CacheFlowe explores the experimental side of dubstep and glitch hop. A heavier take on his broken beats, CS&Qs represents CacheFlowe’s return to a sound that might just be called dance music in some circles.

Collaborations with Machinedrum , Starkey, and Brer Rabbit from the Flobots round out the experimental street beat sound of the release. True to his style, CacheFlowe’s 3rd solo release provides lots of surprises amidst the head-nodding beats. Have a Listen.

SECOND SATURDAY ON EAST COLFAX

By: Josh Wills


This Saturday is shaping up to be one for the books. Tons of goodness happening around town, so get out early and start making rounds. Personally I’m super stoked on the line-up that we’ve put together along the sunny and vibrant corridor of East Colfax. Scot Lefavor shows us all how to improve our lives ten fold, in his solo show Products For A Better Living at The Fabric Lab. Snowblinded (Anthony Cozzi) will be burning retnas & birthing pure light, with his first solo show Snow & Light at The Shoppe. And last but not least Plastic Chapel channels the power of time and space in the second opening of the Square Footage show.

7PM – 11PM : The Shoppe 3101 E. Colfax : The Fabric Lab 3105 E. Colfax : Plastic Chapel 3109 E. Colfax

 

SCOT LEFAVOR @ THE FABRIC LAB : 12.13.08

By: Josh Wills


Tran and I are both super excited to have one of our favorite artists and good friend Scot Lefavor show at The Fabric Lab on Saturday December 13th. East Colfax is going to be running shit on Second Saturday, alongside Lefavor,  Anthony Cozzi will be opening his first solo show Snow & Light at The Shoppe, and the second opening of the Square Footage show will be dropping a few doors down at Plastic Chapel. Hopefully we’ll see you there… we need a secret hand sign or something… second though maybe not… a hand sign on could lead to a variety of mostly illegal activites around the way, keep your digits occupied or in your pockets.

UNOFFICIAL DNC EVENTS

By: Mark Siebert

The DNC had a lot to offer above and beyond politics. A lot of parties and concerts took place last week in Denver. On Wednesday I went to the free mid-afternoon Rage Against the Machine show that took place at the Denver Coliseum for Iraq Veterans Against the War. RAGE always puts on a great show but this has to be the best RAGE concerts I have seen to date. After the show the band led thousands of concert-goers in a “march for peace” to the Pepsi Center.

I headed over to the Manifest Hope Art Gallery after RAGE and met Shepard Fairey (who was extremely nice in person). That was really amazing.

Then Wednesday night I checked out the free Public Enemy show at the Boulder Theater. The original line up was in the house and they performed their historic album “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back” from start to finish. Flavor Flav was on point.

 

JOSH HOLLAND x SHANNON BONATAKIS

By: Todd Berger

The dynamic duo that is Josh Holland and Shannon Bonatakis activated their collective creative energy to manifest their contribution to Denver’s Manifest Hope Gallery exhibition.  These two can do no wrong when it comes to paint and brushes and the below piece, provoking a sense of both awe and discovery is a testament to their powers.  Having been in and out of the gallery a great deal over the past week, and witnessing all sorts of all-star art activity,  it’s been pretty amazing to see not only how well represented, but how high the level of execution is amongst our local Colorado contingent is.  The force is strong with us.
