Big Gigantic @ Boulder Theater

I am a firm believer that the crowd at a show can tell you a lot about a band, where they are from, where they are going, where they have been. Anyone in the Boulder Theater last Friday would have laughed in your face if you had asked them where Big Gigantic was from. Because the answer was so very clear…RIGHT THERE! There really is nothing better than when your favorite local band gets HUGE and then comes back to where it all began to throw down! We’re not talking just fans here either, we’re talking the Boulder BROS. Getting back to where they’ve been recently… The very first time I heard Big Gigantic preform live was actually just a few short weeks ago at Lights All Night in Dallas. Although they were on the smallest stage and had yet to acquire the SICK new LED light display they still captured my heart with their music and took me to a very different place in my musical soul. Both untouchable and unmatchable is the sound that is produced by this saxophone and drum duo. Basically Big G completely ROCKS! Those guys took me straight up BLEW ME AWAY TWICE in less than a month and now I’m hooked! These guys are that real type of good that’s going to take them to one of the best places of all, EVERYWHERE! ENJOY!

Special thanks to the man Grant GRIZ for hooking up a photo contest & 2 tix to the Boulder Theater show! <3

Ascencion Late Night @ Shugs

Envision a festival experience unlike any other. Envision a group of the world’s most beautiful people coming together to celebrate life, art, and music, at a beautiful time in one of the most beautiful of places. Last Friday I had the delightful opportunity to snag a few sick pics In Boulder after the madness that was Big Gigantic at an unofficial after party. Ascencion was one raging pre-party for the Envision Festival held in Costa Rica this March. And boy did going to it make me wish I had a ticket have my own Envision experience! Incredible live painting & performance art was provided by Morgan Manley (photo below), MaQi, Akayate, Bryon Foster and Amy Ilg. At this show I mostly found myself marinating in some magical sounds of local talent, Jantsen, Crushendo, Kll Smth, Buddha Bomb, and Cualli. These guys know how to get down and all KILLED IT! GREAT MUSIC. GREAT ART. GREAT VIBES! Keep it up PastForward & ENVISION THE POSIBILITES of 2012.ENJOY!

LIGHTS ALL NIGHT 2011

Well folks it has taken me 11 days to get over the madness that was LIGHTS ALL NIGHT 2011! Honestly, visions of the enormous Omni Hotel lit up all colorful and beautiful like that still haunt my electronic dance music dreams. Lights all Night was by far the best indoor event that I have ever been too. From the layout of the stages, to the MASSIVE LED LIGHT displays at each stage, to the wonderfully uplifting and positive vibes I got every time I stepped into each of the three halls(GROOVE,DANCE,BASS!), I have come to the conclusion that this event can only be described as opening the doors to 2012 with a two night dose of ---------> NEXT LEVEL SHIT!<---------Hard to say that any one aspect alone really accomplished it alone, but something just went right this time and 20,000+ BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE got to experience an event that was completely unique and totally unreal on many a level....Something  about the nature of  this event begged and pleaded for a CHANGE, and boy oh boy did the fans LOVE IT! Words can’t really do something this SICKKKK much justice but maybe these photos and videos can...ENJOY!
