Busy, busy, busy. That is what I’ve been. Last Wednesday basically was the kick off to my imaginary weekend seeing how I had to work throughout most of it. Wednesday night hosts the weekly Denver Cruisers bike ride. This previous week’s theme was zombies, mmmmmm brains. Every Thursday night the one and only Pud’s softball team takes the field under the lights with yours truly at second base. That brings us up to the main event, Friday and Saturday, of Sound Tribe Sector 9 at Red Rocks.
When you get to a point where you’ve seen a group ten times you’d think you’ve generally seen everything they have to offer but that is not the case with STS9. That is what convinced me to make it to my eleventh and twelfth shows by the boys from ATL Georgia. Known for using samples during songs and especially PA sets they are not known to do covers. On Saturday night they covered Justice’s “One Minute to Midnight,” which rocked the red walls live for the first time since the French duo’s Monolith Festival appearance in 2008.
Both nights were the pure madness that only a sold out Red Rocks Amphitheater show can deliver. On the latest leg of their tour you'll notice they've consistently been mixing in the new and the old with songs dating back toInterplanetary Escape Vehicle and live debut off Ad Explorata, “Oil & Water.” The music is only part of the experience. Each night involved great groups of kids, weather, and radness. The whole group of friends that came from all over the country for this reunion mobbed close to 40 deep of funky-footed party hungry beasts. Through the two nights we started in row 24 and progressively moved forward capping it with a crazy Saturday night on row 6 of arguably the greatest stage on earth
This four-night run really was wearing me thin but knowing a Hummer limo was taking me home I just muscled it out to enjoy the great ride home to come. Finally recuperating and the week is in full swing and a few things to look forward to are Chromeo's new album dropping today and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia premier Thursday. More to come.
