another good record shop is Jerry's on Colfax.

Is 15th St. Tavern still around? 

Nope, they demolished that whole block I heard. It was right across the street from the convention center. I loved that place. I djed sundays there for years. It was mostly a bunch of homeless dudes.

The air is also not very clean. In the mountains maybe, but Denver has a huge pollution problem.

And PS, Boulder is NOT Denver. Fuck that place.

I think 15th St. Tavern closed in 2004. The only shows I ever went to there were in 2003.

i hated jerry's.

Denver was ranked 1st place as 'the drunkest city in America' (by Men's Health magazine or something like that) and Colorado Springs came in 3rd! (being a cab driver myself, I can attest that the truth of that ranking is probably correct.)

Pfft!


Mark: I kinda like Denver. Always have had good shows there. A friend of mine just moved back there. She's a cool gal, a good cook, likes to party and used to play in Riot Grrl bands. if you end up there and would like someone to show you around town or something, I can put you in touch with her. She's good peoples.

where in denver does your friend live? my girlfriend and i are looking for friends, since our old friends are slowly becoming douches.

15th Street closed down in 2007, they had a big "save the venue" type show and then went away.

I've seen some fun shows at Rhinoceropolis, Larimer Lounge just moved the soundboard and it opened up a bunch of space, I live a couple blocks from the Bluebird but I don't really like that place.

If you're moving to Denver, I'd recommend living in Capitol Hill, Baker, or Congress Park. I've heard Highlands is a cool place to live but I don't make it over there often as I don't have a car.

Wax Trax is my number 1 shop, I bet Black & Read would be but I've only been once... the whole "no car" thing again. Twist & Shout is a great shop but Wax Trax consistently has more records that I want.

I've lived here for a little over three years and I'm ready to leave. It's a good city but it's just a little too small for me. (I am a fat, drunk bozo so the outdoorsy stuff is out of my league.)

Wow, didn't mean to bump such an old thread.

Where did Ladonnas play on New Years Eve of '97? I was at that show, fun stuff.

Ladonnas were Manitowoc dudes based in CO. Maybe the loudest band I've ever seen outside of Motorhead, no lie. One of 'em ended up back in Manty playing in Ivan & the Terribles for a while.

Hey Simon -

This is Dave.  I was with you at that show.  Well, me and my lovely wife.  It's been a long time since I've seen you, but you were visiting us when we were living in Boulder.  I think it might have been '98, but maybe i'm wrong.  It was at the 15th St. Tavern.  Small world, eh.  Well, at least on the internet it is.

really thinking about moving there after the 1st of the year. how much is an average studio apt?

[DJ Rick]

I have a friend living there who is depressed now due to lack of good shows compared to Sacto/Davis.

Maybe it's a matter of meeting people for her, but do you guys know of a website the lists the good shows in Denver maybe?

[jerk]

http://www.gigbot.net lists most Denver shows but aside from the pre & post sxsw rush, the pickings are pretty slim.

Hi-Dive, Rhinoceropolis, and Larimer Lounge tend to get most of the shows I'm interested in.

Hope that helps.

junior:

I think an average studio in the Cap Hill area is around $450-500. My first apartment here was a 1br for $575. Not that bad.
