Dot To Dot Festival 2008 Lineup Includes Spirtualized, Dan Deacon and The Little Ones

Friday, February 29, 2008

The 2008 Dot to Dot Festival in Nottingham, London and Bristol includes some three dozen indie rock artists and bands, many of which I must admit I have never heard of.

Some of the bands in the Dot lineup that are familiar include Spiritualized, The Little Ones, We Are Wolves, Dan Deacon (pictured above), 1990s, Caribou, but many others are not, which drives me crazy because I feel obligated to check them all out (guarantee there are great songs hidden in the virtually 'unknown' indie groups).

The following video is Holy Fuck performing during 2007's Dot Dot Festival at the Stealth in Nottingham.

Denver Rocks: Built to Spill and Meat Puppets at Gothic Theathre in Englewood Tonight

Thursday, February 28, 2008

For many years, Denver was not one of the major cities "on the map" for concerts by mainstream and indie rock bands.

But during the past decade, times have changed. Not only does the city host the annual Monolith Festival (see last year's line-up, videos and more), but there are more venues for indie artists - both homegrown and from everywhere else.

If you're a Denver-area indie, alternative and rock fan, here's a sampling of some selected shows in Denver through March 2008.

Tonight: Feb. 28, 2008 - Built to Spill (how did I miss them in SF!?!) and the Meat Puppets will be belting out a night of indie rock and roll at the Gothic Theatre in Englewood, Colorado.

March 1 - Astrophagus , Hi-Dive
March 7 - A Place to Bury Strangers, Larimer Lounge
March 9 - Portugal the Man Marquis Theater
March 11 - Xiu Xiu - Hi-Dive
March 31 - Sons and Daughters, Hi-Dive

See the complete schedule, including all artists booked for Denver in the coming months check out the Mile High city's Westword web site.
