Hi-Dive

We are very excited for this one! Our friends in All Capitals have finished their new album, "The Time is Now", and we are stoked to help them celebrate its release to the masses. You can (and should) check out their new single off the record entitled Hypochondriac on Soundcloud here.

Izcalli and Cielo Del Alma will also be performing. We haven't had the pleasure of performing with either band yet. We always enjoy checking out new Denver talent and both get bonus points for their Latin-esque names. Spicy! 

Come join us in the celebration!

P.S. - The listening party for the new record is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 8th at the Lost Lake Lounge on E. Colfax. You are cordially invited to this event as well.

The Brick House (inside The Lazy Dog)

We're heading up to Boulder for yet another show with our good friends in the most-excellent rock and roll band Take to the Oars. We’ll be playing with them and In the Whale, a very cool guitar/drummer duo, at the relatively new indie/rock venue on Pearl Street, The Brick House (located within The Lazy Dog at 1346 Pearl St). The best part is the show is FREE! The fun gets started at 10pm and the show is 21+ only.

We haven’t been up to Boulder much lately so we’re really looking forward to the trip! Did we mention the show is free and will be awesome? Show us what you got Boulder!

Loaded Joe's

We're loading up the truck and heading up to the mountains for one last summer(ish) mountain gig with our friends and fellow rock-sauce brewers, Take to the Oars. This will be the 1st date of our mini-tour with them and we are hoping to get to second base by the end of the night (you gotta start slow, like a gentleman).

Anyway, it's just the 2 bands and the night will get started off at 9pm! It's free and they've got drink specials all night long so come check it out and be sure to let any friends you may have in the area know that we're stopping by.

The Marquis Theater

It's Dave's birthday this Saturday, August 13th. And we've gone and done something special for the old man. Since we know how much he enjoys the logical plot and character development on display in the Twilight movie saga, we've booked a show with a real life vampire named Jasper from said money making machine. That is, we've booked a show with 100 Monkeys, whose lead singer happens to be an actor in the series. Actually,the band is pretty cool, forget that I just tried to make fun of the connection! Help Dave celebrate his birthday in style at the Marquis by buying him a happy meal, here's the info! We play at 8pm sharp so be there early! The Kissing Club will also be performing at the show.

Tickets & more info here.


This will most likely be our last show in Denver until October. We're taking time off from the live life to finish up our newest EP and for Mickey to become a married man!

In addition we are preparing for our own Sir Mickey Dollar's wedding in August! So come hang with us and enjoy some tunes before we hibernate for a bit, we could use a surplus of social interaction prior to our seclusion.

The Great Copper Mountain Tomato Battle

  • 105 Wheeler Cir, Copper Mountain Resort, Copper Mountain, CO 80443 - MAP
  • Vices I Admire, Meniskus, Replay
  • $37.99 / 14+

Sweet Lord Almighty. What have we gotten ourselves into this time?

Umm... so yah, it's a giant tomato brawl. That's right, people congregate in the masses and throw extremely ripe tomatoes at one another for pleasure. We like to think we are on the cutting edge of reckless, irresponsible behavior that doesn't hurt anyone (can tomato juice cause blindness?) and even we are a bit shocked by this one. In their words it's a "giant freakin' tomato fight" with 30,000 lbs. of tomatoes, live music and beer. Sounds right up our alley. See you there!

The battle starts at 3:15pm and we're scheduled to play at 7pm at the Burning Stones Plaza. It's at the foot of the mountain at the heart of the village core. Follow your sexy ears and hearts.

Tickets and more info at http://tomatobattle.com/.

May ye continue to act outrageously and senselessly the remainder of the summer and beyond. Write that down.
