The Big Releaski Featuring Petals of Spain and Eldren

Tonight is a big night at Moe’s BBQ (South). They are hosting The Big Releaski party for both Petals of Spain and Eldren. Why is it called the Big Releaski? Well Eldren is releasing a new *Free* EP and Petals of Spain are debuting “Lady Luck.”

But, that doesn’t explain why it is called “The Big Releaski!” That is because tonight is also a theme night, and what better place to have a Big Lebowski themed party than at a bowling alley!

I really hope someone dresses up like this guy (*ahem* Nick Crawford):

Before heading down to Moe’s, be sure to go to Eldren’s website and download their first EP which will only be available for the rest of today. Did I mention it is free? And awesome? Go do it now.

Also check out Petals of Spain’s MySpace page to hear some of their old tracks. Starting tomorrow they will be taken down and never heard again (unless you see them live).

As if bowling, free music and Big Lebowski were not good enough reasons to come to Moe’s, the following bands are opening:
In The Whale
and
Sugarwall

For your viewing pleasure, Eldren:

Petals of Spain:

Concert: August 16, 2011 – Take To The Oars

Bored? Want something to do tonight? Local band Take To The Oars is opening for Evaline at the Marquis Theatre.

Never seen them before? Their energy on stage is infectious. Watching Mike head bang while rocking out on guitar is bound to get you moving, or at least bobbing your head a little.

Plus, who doesn’t like a song that features an accordion? Sticks and Stones is one of my favorites:

They were also at the Underground Music Festival where Kaila and I met up with Mike and took this photo with Spiderman:

If you go, be sure to let us know what you think of these bands!

Band: In The Whale

Despite being the 11th annual UMS, the 2011 Underground Music Showcase was my first. It was not quite as crazy and packed as South by Southwest, but I was definitely impressed with the number of music fans and bands that attended.

Many of the bands I saw at UMS were ones that I had heard of and/or seen before, but one band that was neither of those things was In The Whale.

This two-piece band put on an incredible show to some of the top musicians in Denver. In the crowd were members of My Body Sings Electric, The Photo Atlas, Epilogues and more. In The Whale did not fail to impress us all. Their raw, garage sound has been described as “as an angry cousin of The White Stripes,” which I find to be a nice compliment to the normal pop-rock I find myself listening to.

See for yourself with this video I took of their song Heels from their show at the Hi Dive last week.

This is definitely a band to check out, and soon! They are playing with Petals of Spain and Eldren this Friday at Moe’s BBQ in Denver.
