INTERVIEW

K Theory :: From San Fran to Denver, OWSLA Blessings and Family Support Day 3 of SnowBall Music Festival was a tough one to pass up.  Even after raging two epic nights deep into the wee hours of the morning, I could not resist a banging opening set from San Francisco up-and-comers K Theory.  Although only 50% present, getting a chance to rock out and then chat one-on-one with Dylan Lewman of K Theory was beyond what I would call re ...

INTERVIEW

The Floozies :: Militant Funkship, Brotherly Love, and Rushing Sigma Alpha SnowBall I recently read an online complaint that was something along the lines of “The worst thing ever was when dubstep producers decided to pick up a guitar.”  But how often is the reverse true?  The Floozies are a winning example of instrumentalists gone digital, and after a big year in 2012 they are picking up tons of momentum and poised for a breakout year.  A new al ...

SnowBall Day 2 :: Winter Park, CO :: 3/9/13 There was a moment when my eyes peeled back through the crust of partying and the fog of a hangover, moved across a room of strewn ragers and disheveled blankets, and fixed themselves upon the scene outside the window, where fat flakes of snow hurried to the ground and the branches of the trees, and I thought to myself, "Fuck yes."Day Two was no time for complacency.  This was a day when only ...

SnowBall 2013 Day 1 :: Winter Park, CO :: 3/8/13 This was SnowBall’s first date with Winter Park.  It’s not clear who broke up with whom but Avon just didn’t work out.  They looked like the perfect couple at first.  Lots of memories and pictures attest to that.  But Winter Park’s willingness to accept the slightly belligerent but sincere nature of SnowBall meant this move may be for the best.The bottom ...

INTERVIEW

Cherub Unwinds from SnowBall in Boulder Cherub apparently hadn't had enough Colorado after a weekend of SnowBallin' and brought the party down to Boulder for a night of free music and tons of positive party vibes.  Big Gigantic's Dominic Lalli even stopped in to sesh for a few songs, and between playing hits off their newest album Mom & Dad and a killer live version of Daft Punk's "Around The World" (straight-up nailed it). &nb ...

REVIEW

Snowball 2012! OVERVIEW Snowball is a special time of year; a three-day weekend getaway full of fake fur and real mountain air, the weird sound of snow pants grinding against snow pants and that beautiful moment when an ice patch takes you to the ground but can’t touch your $7 PBR. UFO returned this year as veteran Snowballers, totally amped to get our festival muscles in shape for the coming season and read ...

Snoop Dogg @ Snowball :: Vail, CO :: 3.3.12 It honestly didn't matter what music you came to Snowball for, even the artists themselves were hyping Snoop Dogg from every stage.  Some Snowballers had been fans since their teenage years, while others were slightly too young and know him from collaborations; some fans survived on hip-hop shows and some had never been to one before.  But there were few unifying moments more grand than ...

Dillon Francis and Dada Life @ Agave :: Avon, CO :: 3.3.12 There was a pretty hefty buffet of after-parties at Snowball 2012, but it was hard to argue that Agave wasn't among the elite hotspots of the weekend for the dream-team pairing of Dillon Francis and Dada Life.  Two of the day's hottest acts in one tiny Mexican restaurant together?  Seems to good to be true. And, in fact, it seems that it WAS too good to be true.  We stayed on the f ...

INTERVIEW

MartyParty Warms up Snowball UFO could not have asked for a better warm-up to Snowball than a strong lecture from Marty Folb.  Within minutes of pulling up into event parking, we ran over to find Marty Folb, a.k.a. MartyParty, straight chillin' in the lobby of the Christie Lodge, dropping knowledge on one interviewer after another.  Not only was Marty one of the first people we encountered during the festival, but h ...

INTERVIEW

Eminence Ensemble Talks Snowball, Desert Dance Parties, and Telepathy Five-piece instrumental jamsters Eminence Ensemble are definitely one of Colorado's up-and-coming live instrumentalists.  They hesitate to call themselves a jam band, but with Colorado's rich history of jam-based instrumentalism and the Colorado natives themselves so adept at synching the pieces , to NOT call them a jam band would nearly deny their ability to lock it in.  With their upco ...
