Combining all the best parts of classic rock, indie, soul and punk, The Knew should always be in the conversation of Denver bands poised to break out.
The band’s last full-length, Pulperia, was one part Modest Mouse and one part Rolling Stones – cleverly crafted indie rock with a rough and dirty feel to it. Standout tracks like “Still on Fire” and “My Meridian” set the tone for a cohesive and well-crafted album that had many critics calling it one of the year’s best local releases.
The band, who just finishing recording their newest full length at Chris Fogal’s Black in Bluhm studio, will grace our downtown store with their presence this Saturday to play tracks from the newest album and ensure that no head will go un-nodded and no foot un-tapped.
Joining the Knew will be The Hits - an all female alt-rock group in the tradition of Sleater-Kinney and the Donnas.

This week, Suburban Home Record’s newest band, Alone at 3am, will be celebrating the release of their newest record, Midwest Mess, with a string of shows in Colorado.
The shows are as follows:
Thursday, April 26th at the Hi-Dive with Tin Horn Prayer and Lizzie Huffman
Friday, April 27th at the Triple Nickel with Lizzie Huffman
Saturday, April 28th at the Surfside 7 with Lizzie Huffman
The Ohio based band have been extremely nomadic as of late, cycling through the country playing their brand of alt-country meets 90s pop as much as possible.
Their latest album, pulls heavily on the heart strings as singer Max Fender (how’s that for a rock and roll name!) exposes insecurities and feelings of loss through painfully honest lyrics.
The first single off the album, “Weekends at the Cape,” can be streamed here.
For more information or for free tickets to any of these shows please email us!
The name Munly has become synonymous with a brand of goth-americana music that many feel is the true definition of the “Denver sound.” Through his work in Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, The Lewis Lee Harlot’s and as a solo artist, Jay Munly has honed a sound and image that is becoming distinctly his own.
Munly’s latest project, Munly and the Lupercalians, due this Friday at the Hi-Dive, follows the path that he laid out in previous projects but, somehow, takes a more sinister approach.
Dark, menacing and mildly insane, The Lupercalins rely on heavy percussion, constructing an Afro-Cuban foundation, while organ, piano, banjo and Munly’s trademark wail are sewn sparingly in.
On stage theatrics add to the experience of this act, as it is not uncommon for members to wear masks and cloaks, further heightening the experience of the cast of bizarre characters that Munly creates.

Yeah, yeah, today is 4/20 and stoners everywhere are rejoicing because they are going to sit around and do the same thing they would normally do every hour on the hour, but today they get to do it in a public park.
If your weekend plans do not involve passing around a cross joint for 12 hours, then please come out to one of these amazing Pete’s sponsored shows this weekend.
Hell even if you do find yourself a little stoned at some point this weekend, come visit us anyway. What goes better with weed than music and Mexican food?!
Friday
* The Hollyfelds CD Release w/ New Ben Franklins, the Jekylls @ The Hi-Dive
Saturday
* Musuji, Izcalli, and Castaway @ Illegal Pete’s Downtown
* Dragondeer (Eric H from Swayback) and the Baltic @ Illegal Pete’s DU
When stripped down to acoustic form, the structure of a song either completely falls apart, exposing it’s flaws, or reveals just how well written a song truly is.
Luckily, California’s Face to Face has written some of the best pop-punk songs to date and the sentiment of these songs will shine through regardless what the voltage meter reads.
Two members of the band, vocalist/guitarist Trevor Keith and bassist Scott Shiflett, will be performing their classic album, Ignorance is Bliss, acoustically, in it’s entirety, this Saturday at the Marquis Theater.
Sure, it can be argued that the group came out with better albums like 1991′s Don’t Turn Away or 1995′s Self Titled, but the band has promised to play “all of the hits” during this show. I think it’s safe to say that if they don’t play “Disconnected” they will have a riot on their hands.
Also playing this show is Scooter James of Tin Horn Prayer and Jim Yelenick who was last seen wearing a nun’s habit while performing in his Clash tribute band, The Nuns of Brixton.
Door for this show open at 7pm. More information about this show can be found by contacting Soda Jerk Presents.
Columbus Ohio’s Two Cow Garage have been making fans all over the country due to their blistering live show and relentless tour schedule. When lead singer Micah Schnabel is not hopping around like a sweaty madman on stage, he writes stripped down and gritty acoustic numbers but still performs them with similar ferocity.
Last summer, Schnabel released his second solo album, I’m Dead, Serious, which picked up where his first effort left off, letting out the tragically lonely thoughts that come along with a life on the road.
The Black Dots, while combining a lot of influences, can’t help but letting their punk roots run rampant over the top, playing sets that are blisteringly energetic.
This show is FREE and will start at 9pm!

Illegal Pete’s ‘Smothers Autism’ For Autism Awareness Month, The Joshua School [Huffington Post Denver]
We are so excited at the response our Smother Autism Campaign has already received. As you can see from the above photo, we have gotten some great support for our leaves. We have also seen a lot of people smothering their burritos. Thanks everyone for your support. For those of you who don’t know, April is Autism Awareness Month and Illegal Pete’s have committed to supporting the Joshua School. The Joshua School is a year-round, non profit educational center and the only school in Colorado designed specifically for children with autism approved by the Colorado Department of Education.
So please come in (or come in again) during the month of April and know that every time you smother a burrito, Illegal Pete’s will donate a dollar to the Joshua School. You can also purchase leaves for $1.00 and that money, too, will benefit the Joshua School. Lastly, we have two events coming up at Illegal Pete’s DU that we hope you might come down to:
4/14/12 The Music of Robert Harrison and Days of Rae at Illegal Pete’s DU (Coors and Odell donated kegs and you can have all you can drink Coors for $15 or all you can drink Odell and Coors for $25!)
4/26/12 The Epilogues and special guest at Illegal Pete’s DU
Thanks for helping Illegal Pete’s extinguish the challenges of Autism Spectrum Disorder by raising funds for The Joshua School through the Smother Autism Program
You can help us help the Joshua School by smothering your burrito, through donations, and by attending a few events at our DU location.
