Who: Karl Blau w/Porlolo and High Plains Honky
Why: Karl Blau has had a rich and varied career spanning the past two decades or so. As a member of lo-fi rock band D+ he wrote songs and performed with Bret Lunsford formerly of Beat Happening and future Microphones and Mount Eerie mastermind Phil Elverum. As a solo artist and musical curator with his Kelp Lunacy Advanced Plagiarism Society musical subscription artist, Blau has been involved in making music in widely disparate styles and often hybridizing them or outright creating something that's impossible to classify beyond maybe simply pop. In recent years, Blau has been writing songs that seem shaped by everything else he's made up to now with bossa nova percussion, African pop vocal cadences, hip-hop-and-reggae-informed lyrical phrasing and indie/freak folk sensibilities. In the past Blau has performed solo with a loop pedal and pulled off what sounds like a full band minus robust drums so you're never full sure what you're in for barring that it'll be exceptional.
Who: The Church
When: Thursday, 10.11, 7:30/8 p.m.
Why: Australian rock band The Church is currently undertaking it's tour for the thirtieth anniversary of its 1988 album Starfish. The band had already made a name for itself with fans of adventurous, inventive, literate and thoughtful yet heartfelt rock music. But Starfish was the group's breakthrough to not just a wider audience but the mainstream with hits like "Under the Milky Way" and "Reptile." While the group is justly celebrating the release of its iconic album for itself and fans that maybe didn't get to see The Church in its 80s heyday (pardon the referential joke to the band's 1985 album of the same name), the band's new material is as vital as anything it has done in the past and you'll get the best of both worlds at this show.

What: Anxious Little Friends Fest Day 1
Why: Record labels Snappy Little Numbers and Anxious and Angry collaborated on this two day festival at the Hi-Dive with some of the better local and not local punk and punk-related bands. For this night you can see two night headliners Off With Their Heads as well as Riverboat Gamblers, SPELLS, Dirty Few, Black Dots, Hooper and Modern Goon.
What: Franksgiving 2018
Why: This yearly event benefiting the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America is hosted by local connoisseur of weird music Franklin Bell. Naturally he always finds some of the best local odd yet accessible bands for the vent. As usual, Little Fyodor & Babushka Band, one of Denver's longest running and most consistently interesting weirdo punk institutions will perform as well as not-widely-recognized-but-absolutely-a-local-rock-and-roll-legend Ralph Gean, Fyodor drummer Tricky Dick Wicket's side project that isn't Universal Devils, Whiskey Orphans, the "sweet and sensitive keyboard songs" of No Pants Katie with DJ Frank Bell spinning kooky kuts.
Who: Screwtape w/Potato Pirates, Noogy, World Movement and Ultraviolet
Why: Screwtape's politically-charged hardcore and dynamic live show has already made it a favorite among local fans of punk and the group is kicking off its latest tour to the south with this show sharing the bill with ska-punk veterans Potato Pirates and Colorado Springs hardcore outfit Ultraviolet.
Who: Multidim Records Official Launch Party
Where: Leon
Why: Multidim Records is a new Denver-based label focusing on emerging artists in electronic and abstract music. Founded by Tommy Metz (Glissline) and Michael David King (Cities of Earth), this event will feature some of the artists on the label's roster including the respective projects of the label's founders as well as Andre Cactus + Ah, River and Mirror Fears.

Shocker Mom, photo by Tom Murphy
Who: ADULT. w/Plack Blague and Voight
Why: For twenty years, Detroit's ADULT. has been on the forefront of mixing electronic pop, techno and industrial music with an experimental flair. In the late 90s, ADULT. helped to pioneer the sound and aesthetic that came to be called electroclash by around the turn of the century. As the duo explored sounds and performance it garnered a cult following among connoisseurs of electronic music paired with a dynamic and sometimes confrontational performance style. It adopted and mutated the sound and production ideas running through underground techno throughout the 2000s giving it a powerful and imaginative soundscape to match singer Nicola Kuperus's emotionally-nuanced vocals. The band's 2018 album This Behavior was the darker side of the songwriting that went into the 2017 album Detroit House Guests—both rich and dense with sonic detail and inventive rhythms.
Also on the this leg of the tour is Lincoln, Nebraska's Plack Blague. Raws Schlesinger had been, maybe still is, involved in the Nebraska grind and extreme metal scene in various bands. But Plack Blague is a bit like a leather daddy Big Freedia but with beats that are the industrial and techno analogue to sissy bounce. On previous occasions in Denver, Plack Blague may have seemed to be a sonically abrasive spectacle but the act's songs have taken on a compelling form beyond the spectacle without sacrificing the striking visual aspect of the band including Schleslinger's undeniably amazing dance moves.
Why: This second night of Anxious Little Friends Fest includes performances from Off With Their Heads, The Bollweevils, SPELLS, Friends of Cesar Romero, Lawsuit Models, Great American House Fire and Bad Year.
What: KGNU Quarterly Showcase
Why: This edition of the KGNU Quarterly Showcase features some of Denver's most innovative electronic artists. Shocker Mom's dreamy, ambient R&B is the latest vehicle from Robin Walker. As a member of Cougar Pants, walker, along with Jessica Hughes, made a particularly tender and emotionally deep yet playful type of indie pop. As a solo performer, Walker distinguished herself as a talented vocalist and songwriter whose use of sound taps into a pre-linguistic part of the human brain, communicating the vibrations of a loving, healing aspect of the universe—which she has manifested most strongly with Shocker Mom. Also catch her in excellent hip-hop duo Nighttimeschoolbus. Larians is the solo side project of Male Blonding singer/guitarist Noah Simons. His brilliant take on IDM, techno and ambient may just be getting started but it's obvious he's learned a few things to build beyond from Burial and Aphex Twin. Bios+a+ic is the solo project of Textures Ambient Showcase and Symbolic Insight head Wesley Davis. All of his albums with the project are different and conceptual, representing ideas and sound experiments that tickled Davis' imagination at the time of their creation. Also on the bill are All Mask and DJ Winter

Future Generations, photo (cropped) by Shervin Lainez
Who: Henry Rollins Travel Slideshow Tour
Why: It's been a good longer while than usual since Henry Rollins has done one of his spoken tours. This time around he's sharing his photography and telling stories from his travels around the world. His spoken word shows are always worth checking out and with the images to prompt his memory and engage those who show up it will be a more immersive experience when coupled with his already fantastic storytelling.
Who: Future Generations w/Zuli and Whiskey Autumn
Why: Brooklyn has long been home to eclectic indie rock with artists, of necessity, trying out innovative musical ideas and strong songwriting in order to stand out. Future Generations' 2018 album Landscape is like a stroll through a person's day and life and composed as though the melodies and rhythms are a soundtrack with electronic, ambient textures to give the songwriting a context that connects all the music. Sure, each piece can be enjoyed on its own but the record feels like a new take on the classic album format from a time when bands felt like there were no throwaway songs and thought in terms of interconnecting themes. Probably not a concept album but one that works on a very conceptual level too.

A Place To Bury Strangers circa 2012, photo by Tom Murphy
Who: A Place to Bury Strangers w/Kraus and cindygod
Why: A Place To Bury Strangers is often credited as one of the bands that helped to re-popularize shoegaze in the underground. But the band's contribution has run deeper as guitarist/vocalist Oliver Ackerman created unique guitar pedals with functionality that has helped push the sound of the instrument into new realms of noise and texture. As part of the pedal and sound equipment company/DIY space Death By Audio, Ackerman and company contributed to its creative community in a direct, pragmatic way. APTBS fused lo-fi, shoegaze, noise, post-punk and hardcore in fascinating ways. For an album or two it felt like maybe the project had plateaued even if the songwriting was still good. But the 2018 album Pinned with new drummer Lia Simon Braswell demonstrated that the band hasn't run out of ideas for heady and disorienting soundscaping. Opening the show is Denver's cindygod, the follow-up band to shoegaze/noise rock duo Gauntlet Hair. Now the band is a quartet with an even more exhilarating panoply of sound.
Gold Trash, photo by Tom Murphy
Who: Sarah Ruth Alexander, Polecat Moon Pussy and Gold Trash
Where: Thought//Forms
Why: [update, Shiny Around the Edges no longer on the bill] Sarah Ruth Alexander's brooding yet luminous compositions utilizing effected vocals and acoustic instruments have made Dallas' They Say The Wind Made Them Crazy one of the more interesting bands and critically acclaimed bands that in the past his intentionally been more or less off the internet because its music works best live. Alexander's solo performances recall some of the most chilling moments of Nico's solo work, The Marble Index, Desertshore and The End in particular, in its use of organic instruments in a manner suggesting an electronic music aesthetic as a way to tap into deeply rooted spaces in the psyche. One might also hear in her songs resonances with Jarboe's more intensely tranquil performances with Swans. Moon Pussy is a noise rock band from Denver and Gold Trash could be said to be a soulful yet noisy version of an electroclash band.

Best Shows in Denver and Beyond 8/30/18 – 9/5/18
CJ Boyd performs at various venues in Colorado this weekend. Photo circa 2008 by Tom Murphy
Thursday | August 30, 2018
Who: A.M. Pleasure Assassins and CJ Boyd
Where: Downtown Artery, Fort Collins
Why: Fort Collins' great lo-fi post-punkers A.M. Pleasure Assassins share the stage with internationally renowned avant-garde punk/folk/ambient/one-man pastoral classical artist C.J. Boyd. The latter is one of the few artists in general that has played in all fifty of the United States. For a decade, Boyd has traversed the country and collaborated with artists from every state and written some of the most accessible and evocative experimental music that defies any absolute categorization. Pick up at any point in his extensive catalog and you're in for something interesting that will stretch your musical horizons in some fashion. Boyd is playing other shows in Colorado on this leg of his tour and if you're not able to make this Fort Collins gig it would be worth seeking out where those other shows are happening whether in a house or a DIY space in Colorado Springs like the new Flux Capacitor.
Smokescreens, photo by Gina Clyne
Who: Smokescreens, The Molochs and American Culture
Why: Chris Rosi and Corey Cunningham were once members of Plateaus and Terry Malts having toured together during the ascent of the garage/psych revival. But by mid-decade both moved to Los Angeles where they formed Smokescreens out of a mutual love for the off-standard melodic strategy of American pop and more in the vein of New Zealand weirdo, jangle-y punk bands of the 80s on the Flying Nun imprint as well as noisier American music like The Velvet Underground and The Aislers Set. One might make a good case for some influence of The Feelies and a touch of Jay Reatard and No Age in there. All of those influences would mean nothing if the songwriters weren't capable of doing anything interesting or original out of their own skill set. The band's 2018 album Used to Yesterday is proof that Smokescreens is making some of the more sonically interesting, guitar-driven pop music today. Combining a tenderness and delicacy of tone and texture with great momentum and energy, Smokescreens is a band that is as idiosyncratic as its influences, which is no mean feat given Flying Nun's catalog of unique greatness alone.
The Magpie Salute, photo by David McLister
Who: The Magpie Salute w/Brent Cowles
Why: Formed in 2016 by former members of Black Crowes including Rich Robinson, Marc Ford and Sven Pipien, The Magpie Salute is perhaps less beholden to the blues rock that was the bedrock of Black Crowes. At least if the band's new album, 2018's High Water 1 is any indication. Sure, some of the structure and tones are there but the sonic palette is broader with the band at this point. The title track suggests psych Americana but the album refreshingly doesn't get stuck in a single mode, mood or dynamic. There's a 70s feel to the record but one that gives you a greater appreciation for the details that make that songwriting style compelling even today even if you're heard enough of that sort of thing. Robinson and his bandmates grew up with and within those musical traditions and with this band they're giving those influences a renewed vitality that is oft-imitated and rarely manifested with this degree of credibility because it doesn't feel forced and the highly developed songcraft born out of years playing in other bands speaks for itself.
Who: Equine, Tunica Externa, biostatic
Why: Depth of sound field throughout this show with the guitar drones and tone sculpting of Equine, Tunica Externa's super minimal soundscapes with guitar and loops and biostatic's synth, live sampled trumpet and processed sounds. None of the artists is much alike, uses very different methods of making their sounds but all have grounded in a way of making music that isn't rooted in any particular, pre-established style, which should be recommendation enough for going to this show if you're looking for something well outside the mainstream.
Friday | August 31, 2018
Brotherhood of Machines, photo by Tom Murphy
Who: Under the Floorboards Celebration: Midwife, Bigawatt, Brotherhood of Machines, Curta and Multicast
Why: KGNU's Under the Floorboards program showcases music that is decidedly left field. So this show will include the minimalist, ambient folk/lo fi production of Midwife, Bigawatt's operatic avant-post-punk paired with experimental drummer Death Pose, Brotherhood of Machines' Popol Vuh/dub techno-esque ambient in collaboration with Jake Danna of hip-hop duo Curta. And Multicast, which has been doing ambient music in Colorado for longer than most of the people in Colorado's quite large ambient scene. With biostatic hosting and serving as a DJ for the night.
Who: Sympathy F
Why: Sympathy F came on to Denver stages during the early days of the alternative rock era. Early members of the band included current guitarists Doug Seaman and Tony Morales (who has also been a vocalist in the band from the beginning) and both lived in a building in the Capitol Hill neighborhood called The Blenheim, notable for its gateway looking like something from a medieval urban house, where they lived across the hall from future and current vocalist Elizabeth Rose who became fast friends with the two musicians who one day heard her singing along to the music they were writing. The band became a bit of a fixture in the local scene throughout the 90s, releasing one, self-titled album and a handful of cassette and compilation releases before the focus of the musicians went to other projects even though Sympathy F never disbanded. Over the past decade or so, the group has been more active and in 2016 releases its first album in over twenty years with its second self-titled album. It was a compilation of new and older recordings and demos that the members of the band rendered for a more modern release augmented by overdubs and a proper mixing and mastering treatment. At that time the band had intended to release a double album to get its backlog of material out into the world but that didn't make sense and now the group is releasing what would have been the second half of the double album with a couple of new tracks that reflect new musical ideas that hint at where the group may go in the future with electronics a part of its lushly atmospheric, moody hard rock.The new album, available tonight, is The Blenheim, a nod to the band's roots and the creative frisson that launched its fruitful and prolific, if not widely available on a recording until recently, career. See our upcoming interview with Seaman on the history of the band and its recent painstaking recording of at least one of its new songs.
Who: EVP w/Pearls and Perils and Gold Trash
Where: BarFly
Why: Glasss Records occupies BarFly for the night. EVP's pointed personal/political commentary informing its impassioned industrial noise pop will bring some edge to the laid back environs. Gold Trash's noise-scape-y, beats collage electroclash will demonstrate how you can keep it weird and confrontational yet fun. Pearls and Perils makes downtempo R&B with a rich emotional quality and theatrical stage presence that is impossible to ignore.

Church Fire, photo by Tom Murphy
What: Temple Tantrum Day 1
When: Saturday, 09.1, 12 p.m., music starts 1 p.m. runs to 10 p.m.
Where: The Temple Studios
Why: Temple Tantrium is a two day festival that encourages attendees to arrive in costume and join in the festivities with twenty musical acts, fourteen art installations, comedy and performance art. For list of artists featured see below.
Music: Council of Word, Porcelain, F-ether, Halo Halo, Ginger Perry, JL Kane, R A R E B Y R D $, Princess Dewclaw, Church Fire, Plantrae
Visual/installation Artists: Ancient.Future, Charles Russel, Alex Anderson, Kat Nechleba, Kristina Rolander, Ryan Wurst, Izzy Jarvis, Regan Rosberg, Queen City Harlequinade, Kelly ShortNQueer, Tara Worley, Suchitra Mattai, Katine Lowe, Marsha Mack, Sandra Fettingus, Naomi Scheck, Joanne Shminke, Lori Owicz, Brendan Macleod.
Performance art and comedy: No Gods No Masters, Punketry, Gallagher Fest, Jessica L'Whor, Jaguar Morning Show
Who: Big Business w/Simulators and Quits
When: Saturday, 09.1, 8:30 p.m.
Why: Big Business is the sludge metal/noise rock band from Seattle comprised of former KARP and Murder City Devils members Jared Warren and Coady Willis. The duo spent a handful of years playing in Melvins where its bombastic, playful and joyous sound fit in with Melvins' sense of the absurd. For this show the duo will be joined by sharp-edged post-punk band Simulators and eruptive noise rock supergroup Quits which includes former members of Denver-based noise rock outfits Sparkles and Hot White.
Who: Pink Fuzz LP release w/Love Gang and Boot Gun
When: Saturday, 09.1, 8 p.m.
Why: BANDITS from Boulder honed its hard blues rock sound for a few years under that name before adopting its new moniker, Pink Fuzz. The group releases what may be it's first full-length record tonight. Though not a stoner rock band, fans of bands like Fu Manchu and Nebula will probably find a lot to like here.
Sunday | September 2, 2018
The Speedholes circa 2001, photo by Rebecca Bauer
Why: See the entry for this event above on September 1, 2018. The list of visual/installation artists and performance art and comedy is the same. But musical guests for this day include: Machu Linea, MEEK, Entrancer, ETERNAL, Baby Tony & The Teenies, L.A. Zwicky, Oxeye Daisy, Vic N' The Narwhals, NEEFF, Nasty Nachos and Pictureplane.
Who: Merrick 25th Anniversary Party with debut of Rocket Dust, Vashion Seeds and Sam & Catherine from AKA Belle
When: Sunday, 09.2, 5 p.m.
Why: Kelly and Dan Merrick were members of noisy garage punk band The Speedholes in the 90s and early 2000s and were active participants in the vibrant Denver punk scene of that time. Both had roots in the Seattle underground scene of the 80s and 90s and were impacted by Denver musicians who made it to the Pacific Northwest regularly or even made it a home like maybe The Derelicts but certainly The Fluid and Spell. They're celebrating their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary with the debut of their new band Rocket Dust with this show at Globe Hall.
Tuesday | September 5, 2018
Mondo Obscura, photo by Tom Murphy
Who: Mondo Obscura and The Counselor (DJ set)
When: Tuesday, 09.5, 7 p.m.
Where: Chiba Bar | Colorado Springs
Why: Denver futuristic new age/ambient band Mondo Obscura lands in Colorado Springs for a two hour live set followed by DJ set from local weirdo The Counselor at a Japanese themed bar. Fortunately it won't be the "Chiba City Blues" but if some guy named Case shows up looking like he might be hyped on stims and babbles something about Molly Millions and the Panther Moderns just be glad for the distraction and ask him how Acacia Park is treating him.
Wednesday | September 5, 2018
Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, photo by Warwick Baker
Who: Rolling Blackouts Coast Fever w/Jo Passed
When: Wednesday, 09.5, 7 p.m.
Why: On the strength of the material on its first two EPs, 2016's Talk Tight and 2017's The French Press, Melbourne, Australia's Rolling Blackouts Coast Fever drew favorable comparison by critics like Robert Christgau and Stephen Deusner to influential Australian jangle pop band The Go-Betweens. With the sparkling guitar tone and effluvient, often urgent, dynamics the comparison seems apt. But the band never really sounds like a throwback and especially not so on its 2018 full length Hope Downs wherein the guitar play weaves hanging chords into its bright melodies to convey more fully melancholic undertones and introspective moods. Like American indie rock band LVL UP, RBCF has a real knack for writing songs with a depth of composition using dissonance, textural rhythms and percussive melodies alongside more straightforward guitar work. Live the group performs with a nervy energy that gives what might otherwise be simply solid pop songs a palpable intensity.
Who: Weird Wednesday: KRBS (from Ludlow), Bonnie Weimer, Whimsically Macabre Music
Why: This latest edition of Weird Wednesday features artists whose music doesn't necessarily scream out "weird" but in the larger musical sense really is. Bonnie Weimer whose spare, banjo songs are reminiscent of Maureen Tucker solo or on her rare and excellent vocal performances in The Velvet Underground (particularly "After Hours"). Meaning it's intimate, powerful and a bit mysterious. Presumably KRBS is Josh Kirby from the great Colorado folk/punk band Ludlow doing a solo performance. Kirby has an offbeat, often surreal sense of humor so that's bound to be part of the set too. Whimsically Macabre Music is a solo piano project of Stacy Fahrion. The music doesn't hit you over the head with its strangeness. In that sense it has more in common with how many Erik Satie pieces are haunting or various Shirley Jackson novels have an atmosphere just off enough to get under your skin without having to resort to cheap thrills.

The Milk Blossoms, photo by Tom Murphy
Who: The Milk Blossoms (album release) w/Joseph Lamar, Princess Dewclaw and Midwife
Why: The Milk Blossoms release Dry Heave the Heavenly this night at Lost Lake. The trio basically found a way to take fairly idiosyncratic musical tastes and skill sets and a blend of natural talents to make imaginative, cathartic pop music that couldn't really be made by anyone else. The bands songs are accessible yet demanding your taking it on its own terms. Calling the group "experimental pop" doesn't quite do justice to the power of the live band and its recordings. Two talented singers whose styles are quite different but complementary, soul and hip-hop undertones without the hackneyed quality one often finds in artists that are trying too hard to appeal to too many people. The members of The Milk Blossoms are definitely not trying to appeal to people in that way, but, rather, expressing poignant life moments in an achingly resonant way making their music poetic and heartbreaking yet comforting. Naturally for the occasion of the album release, The Milk Blossoms brought together a few of the best Denver bands to round out the bill. Joseph Lamar isn't trying to put his music in hip-hop, soul, indie rock, electronic pop boxes but there's bits of all of that and more in his songwriting. Princess Dewclaw combines synth pop and a seething socially critical punk sensibility that seems elemental in the live setting. With her almost abstract and ethereal vocals and spidery guitar work, Midwife channels the ghost of the soul level pain that lingers in the hearts of most people that have lived life enough to know the regret and melancholy that bring loss into stark focus.
Who: DRUNE, Equine, Tyler Jared Cantrell
Why: This is the second edition of Musical Mayhem at The Skylark for March. DRUNE describes itself as "Denver Desert Doom Metal." Probably means these guys listened to a lot of Kyuss and/or Queens of the Stone Age, maybe Dopesmoker-era Sleep above the rest of that band's catalog and Ennio Morricone's movie soundtrack discography. If their practice space recordings are any indication anyway. Equine is the latest project from Kevin Richards who some may know from his time bringing weird jazz chords into the mix with post-hardcore band Motheater and ambient noise project Epileptinomicon or even his own post-rock-esque solo effort Temples (before some okay psych band made the name famous-ish). At any rate, Equine picks up where Temples left off in experimenting with the structure and format of even experimental guitar based music and adding in electronic elements to create a truly hypnotic and immersive soundscape.
Who: Matt and Kim w/CRUISR and Twinkids
Why: Matt Johnson and Kim Schifino met at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and became a couple who were encouraged to take up music by the guys in Japanther. Neither had any real training but plenty of creativity and, it turns out, a knack for writing hook-laden pop songs that were upbeat and positivistic without seeming hokey. As the duo's songwriting developed, its audience quickly outpaced the capacity of the DIY spaces it played early in its career. Matt and Kim have played many of the big festivals and had experiences most bands would love to have and yet their presentation of the music never seems jaded—it seems as exuberant as it was a decade ago.2018's Almost Everyday, written while Schifino was recovering from an injury strikes an unusually melancholy note now and then suggesting an acknowledgement of mortality to go along with the shift from the exuberant punk attitude of earlier releases to a focus on the electronic side of the band's sound. Honestly, a welcome change of pace but even if you're not a fan of the band's newer sound it's not like they're going to only play from the new record and you can go expecting the hijinks that have made Matt and Kim shows more fun than those of most other bands.

It's Just Bugs, photo by Tom Murphy
Who: Monocle Band & The Dress Downs
When: Friday, 03.30, 6 p.m. doors, 7 p.m. show
Where: Absolute Vinyl, Boulder
Why: Absolute Vinyl ends its more than 9-year run as an institution that offered friendly service, fair prices on vinyl and a place to see a wide variety of live music from the avant-garde improvisational stylings of Animal / object to folk/Americana acts like Monocle Band and The Dress Downs, the two bands that will likely be the last live acts to be hosted by the store. Advocates for the local tape label showcase and other events focused on local culture, Absolute Vinyl was more than just a record store. Absolute Vinyl closes its doors for good tomorrow, Saturday, March 31 so if you're so inclined pay it one last visit.
Who: Fathers vinyl release w/SPELLS, It's Just Bugs, Cheap Perfume
Why: At this show you can pick up the vinyl version of the self-titled Fathers album, which came out digitally in October 2017. The group is a bit of an all-star lineup of local heavy music including Oscar Ross and Ryan DeWitt from Lords of Fuzz, Eddie Maestas from Native Daughters and Mhyk Monroe from Cult of the Lost Cause. Fathers is more akin to metallic post-hardcore acts like Converge, Coalesce and Cave-In (whose singer/bassist Caleb Scofield died in a car accident earlier this week). Including the amplified intensity, the clear influence (directly or otherwise) of grindcore and gritty-screamy vocals. Fortunately the group thought to bring in likeminded but sonically quite different bands to round out the bill. SPELLS' motto is 80% is good enough. But you can't really tell anyone's holding back on the energy and performance in the show. Sorta like pop-punk but more refined yet still simple and straight forward. Maybe frontman Ben Roy will do something transgressive but not abusive at the show and it'll all be worth that beyond Chuck Coffey's elegant and thoughtful songwriting disguised as dumb-but-fun punk. It's Just Bugs is the perfect, even inevitable, blend of noise, electro-industrial music and hip-hop. Cheap Perfume writes catchy, fun songs but doesn't dumb down or dulls its sharp takedown of patriarchal culture to comfort people who think art and politics should be separate.
Who: Strange Goo – KGNU presents An Evening of Perplexing Rhythm: Mux Mool and RUMTUM collaborative set, Ea$$side Lupita, CURTA and Norty
Where: Fort Greene Bar
Why: For fifth Fridays for the rest of the year, KGNU is presenting An Evening of Perplexing Rhythm, seems to be a showcase for forward thinking hip-hop and electronic music. This edition includes: Mux Mool and RUMTUM doing a set together likely combining their gifts for electronic dance music production and RUMTUM's use of guitar loops and soundscapes – Ea$$side Lupita, the solo project of the incomparable KoKo La of R A R E B Y R D $ fame and if her production and lushly evocative and emotionally articulate vocals in the latter is any indication, this will be worth paying attention to as well – and CURTA, Denver's premiere noise rap/experimental hip-hop group who recently released the excellent End of Future Park, a unique and almost surreal take on how the current state of late capitalist economic systems and the pervasiveness of technology in culture is impacting our daily lives in ways we tend not to examine closely enough.

Who: Chrome w/EchoBeds and Phallic Meditation
Why: Check out our write-up on Chrome and interview with Helios Creed for some reasons to go to this show.
What: Raptor Jazz a Ceremony of Life for Colin Ward/Fundraiser feat. Docile Rottweiler, French Kettle Station, UR Presents Acid Rain (live), Sugarsplat 2.0, Shaman Fight Club, AcidBat, Kid Mask, Toucan, visuals by Orchidz3ro and Jak Turbo
Where: The Black Box
Why: Colin Ward left an indelible imprint on Denver's DIY art and music world during his short life before he died at the end of January 2018. This event is a celebration of his life and influence performed by many of those closest to him and a fundraiser for his memorial fund to preserve his art and music going into the future.

Who: Suppression w/Herse, Berated and Flesh Buzzard
Why: Suppression are an early noisegrind band from Virginia. When the band began in Roanoke in 1992 it probably seemed pretty extreme and brutal to most people that weren't already into grindcore. The beyond-screamed vocals, savage sonic gyrations and doomy soundscaping of its 1993, self-titled debut likely didn't endear itself to purist grind fans either. But 26 years hence and Suppression, now a two-piece, are considered legends of extreme music even though that means they're probably playing the same kind of underground, DIY and otherwise unglamourous types of venues they did back near the beginning. That said, it would be so odd and not appropriate to witness this music at a theater or even a big club. Fortunately, Mutiny is a perfect place to catch Suppression as well as like-minded locals like the two-piece Herse whose own brand of grind waxes into the realm of experimental music with its own subverting grindcore tropes of song dynamics and tone.

Pale Waves, photo by Danny North
Who: Pale Waves w/Inheaven
Why: Pale Waves released All The Things I Never Said, its debut EP, in February 2018. While the band began in 2014, it's obvious from the songwriting that the Manchester, UK-based group took some time incubating as a band before releasing a song much less a small body of work like a four-song EP. The band's sound and image is an interesting mix of ideas and creative impulses. Overtly the music is modern synth pop but the band looks like they might be giving us a vintage post-punk/Goth sound as lead singer/guitarist Heather Baron-Gracie and drummer Ciara Doran look like they wouldn't have been out of place in Siouxsie & The Banshees or Switchblade Symphony. Which makes the contrast interesting because the band sets you up to be surprised and not expect a particular style. Sure, an early single, "There's Honey," comes off like late-era Cocteau Twins meets Chvrches but later singles like "Heavenly" mix bright vintage dream pop guitar work with melodic hooks reminiscent of Alvvays. Whatever ingredients went into Pale Waves' music, what it is now is one of the better pop groups to have come across the Atlantic in a few years.
Who: A Deer A Horse w/Quits and Product Lust
Why: Brooklyn's A Deer A Horse sounds like a cathartic blend of Carla Bozulich circa Evangelista and early Live Skull. That spooky and intense energy of Bozulich and a willingness to let cutting, noisy guitar find its place in jagged rhythms without being limited by them nor vice versa. All while somehow writing accessible songs with hooks. Also on the bill are Product Lust, the post-punk band that blasts through conventional notions of what that has to sound like. There is the spirit of hardcore in the songwriting and presentation partly because Kat Salvaggio is a confrontational frontwoman but the souunds and rhythms sonically color outside hardcore's tendency for stark contrasts. Quits could loosely be called noise rock because the members of the band have all been in some of the most interesting groups of that ilk for a couple of decades. Doug Mioducki and Luke Fairchild were both in the sometimes shockingly forceful and unhinged noisy post-hardcore band Sparkles. Mioducki went on to play in art-noise-punk-jazz band Witch Doctor and, more recently, CP-208. Fairchild has been in several noteworthy sludgy, noisy punk/metal bands over the years but maybe you're familiar with Git Some and Kingdom of Magic. Drummer Darren Kulback and bassist Tiana Bernard were also both in CP-208 but before that they were in noise rock trio Hot White who made some waves in the underground before splitting in 2011. And thus Quits brings together a bit of Denver noise rock history in one band. But is it any good? If its 2017 EP is any indication, that's affirmative, Captain.

Boy Harsher, photo by Tom Murphy
Who: The Soft Moon w/Boy Harsher and Voight
Why: When The Soft Moon released its 2010 debut album its harsh yet hypnotic industrial post-punk sound didn't seem connected to much else going on at the time. Unless you were listening to dark noise rockers like Pop. 1280 and Yoga. As stark and as urgent as Suicide, as bass driven with cutting guitar tone reminiscent of A Place to Bury Strangers, The Soft Moon likely also had some roots in Chrome's blend of mind-altering guitar sound and experiments in electronic soundscaping. On the project's 2018 record, Criminal, Luis Vasquez has made the dance element stronger while pushing his songwriter in stranger directions and thus escaped a potential trajectory of merely reinventing the sound of his earlier records. Whereas 2012's Zeros sounded like a transitional record, Criminal sounds like a new chapter in Vasquez's evolution as an artist. Sharing the bill is Denver'-based industrial post-punk duo Voight who are in the process of transforming their sound in a more electronic direction so you may get to see more than a hint of that for this show. Also, Boy Harsher, originally from Savannah, Georgia, will bring an immersive darkwave dance sound that doesn't draw easy comparison to much unless you've been able to catch New Order or Adult in the last decade. Brilliantly sculpted, driving low end and ghostly vocals that suggest large spaces even when the blanket of fog obscures one's sense of place at the show. Disorienting yet comforting. Boy Harsher releases Pain II on May 11 but you may be able to pick up a copy at this show.

Oryx, photo by Alvino Salcedo
Who: EyeHateGod w/Oryx, Tricoma and Blighter
Why: Oryx was a nearly ubiquitous name you'd see on the heaviest bills around Denver for a while. But the band seems to have hunkered down to write, refine and record its new album, 2018's Stolen Absolution. Maybe "refine" is the wrong word as the record is a raw blast of rage and disgust with the bleak state of the world from the impending collapse of the natural environment as we used to know it and the utter shabbiness in the ways too many of us humans treat one another. It doesn't sound despairing, it sounds more like a cry for humanity to get its collective shit together before we make one mistake too many. The crust/grind/black metal duo is releasing the album at this show in which its sharing the bill with like-minded, New Orleans sludge legends EyeHateGod, Denver purveyors of death doom Tricoma and Blighter, Colorado Springs' titans of bridging the gap between crust punk and the heaviest of metal.

Briffaut, photo by Kitty Colvin
Who: Briffaut album release w/Down Time and In/Planes
Why: Briffaut's new album, Helsinki, has a hazy lushness and freeform yet structured songwriting style that suggests jazz underpinnings. But mostly its soft tones and beats, its Mellotron-tinged and drifty atmospheres and idiosyncratic storytelling evoke imagery both surreal and all-too-real in the offhand everyday detail style employed by director Mike Mills. Musically it's reminiscent of early The Helio Sequence and Animal Collective or even mid-2000s of Montreal—gorgeous melodies intertwined with noise and sound experiments to create a kind of pop music that pushes boundaries and has more long term durability as something you can listen to twenty or more years from now and still get something out of it that isn't tied purely to nostalgia for one's youth. In/Planes is apparently rooted in classic American pop meaning the duo has researched songwriters and music that has long fallen out of style but which never lost a certain emotional resonance and sophistication of craft that transcends time. The band's refreshingly uncluttered songs are warm and soulful while not seeming to have done more than borrowed touches of doo wop and Brill Building-era pop. All of this can be heard on the band's excellent 2017 EP Everything. Down Time reinvented indie pop in its brilliantly idiosyncratic style as heard on its debut 2017 full-length Good Luck!. Live the group has a striking freshness and inventive soundscaping that's undeniably compelling.
Who: Jane/Eyre – Grapefruit Lab and Teacup Gorilla w/Dameon Merkl on vocals
When: Friday, 03.023, 7 p.m.
Where: The Bakery
Why: As we mentioned last week this is a queer adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's classic 1847 coming-of-age novel. So it'll be storytelling and songs provided by the Grapefruit Lab collective and Teacup Gorilla who are bringing in noted local frontman and raconteur extraordinaire, Dameon Merkl who some may know as one of the vocalists in Lost Walks as well as his turns in 90s punk band Random Victim and noir rock phenoms Bad Luck City. Because it's Teacup Gorilla, a band that has long developed a relationship with theater and writing experimental rock music that can only loosely be defined as post-punk or glam rock because its imaginative songwriting and musicianship is much broader than a single genre. The run of this production concludes this weekend with shows on Friday evening March 2 ( and will include a performance from Ersatz Robots), Saturday evening March 3 with a surprise musical guest, and Sunday for a matinee performance at 2 p.m.
Catch this one before it ends because as far as adaptations of classic novels go it's irreverence and faithfulness to the spirit of the book is rivaled by, if not in budget, sheer spectacle huge cast and production values, Peter Jackson's Tolkien films and Game of Thrones. But none of the sword and sorcery though with plenty of high drama and the supernatural. The live soundtracking and Merkl as the sound of troubled and tortured spirits helps to enhance the brilliant three cast-member presentation.
Who: Velvet Acid Christ at Purgatory 3-2 w/Offerings to Odin, DJ Mudwulf, DJ Bloodline, DJ Julian Black
Where: Bar Standard
Why: Although in recent years Velvet Acid Christ has more than doubled the number of shows that he played in Denver in the first twenty years of the band's existence, it's not like he plays every week, every few months or even really every year. VAC began in the early 90s and became an influential and popular EBM act in its own right with a knack for surrealistic imagery and darkly humorous storytelling. It's been a few years since we've seen any original releases from VAC so maybe in 2018 perhaps Bryan Erickson, the band's sole full-time member, will put deliver a new set of dystopian future dance songs.
Who: R A R E B Y R D $, EVP, Bianca Mikahn, Giraft
Where: Denver Bicycle Café
Why: This is a Glasss Presents show three of the imprint's best acts are on the bill. R A R E B Y R D $ is making the kind of hip-hop that is beyond conscious, beyond merely experimental but always human and thoughtful in its exploration of the impact of society and our own minds in how we navigate life. EVP is difficult to describe in simple genre terms. Part punk, part industrial, part pop, part noise. Bianca Mikahn…does she make hip-hop or super experimental, poetry driven R&B? Whatever it is, Mikahn's insightful words weaves together her personal vision of a more loving and inclusive future. Giraft is Julianna Beckert and Chris White who make a kind of post-IDM downtempo. White some may remember for his masterful bass work in Alan Alda and Voices Underwater.
Who: Modern Leisure (album preview party) w/Kissing Party and Bark Wilson
Why: Modern Leisure is previewing its forthcoming debut full-length album (set for a summer release). Good thing the band is joined by another that brings some dignity to the term pop when applied to a modern indie rock band. That being Bark Wilson. Layered atmospheres and rhythms that you don't often hear in a pop band are Bark Wilson's noteworthy hallmark. Kissing Party has a whole catalog of heartbreaking/heartwarming songs about love and disappointment. Don't let the band's sometimes irreverent and sardonic stage persona fool you, they mean those songs and that's what saves them from being quaintly romantic because despite any flaws, the group performs the songs with a sincerity to match the sentiments.
Who: Adult Swim Presents: Mr. Pickles' Trash-tacular featuring Exodus, Municipal Waste and Call of the Void
Why: The nerd and metalhead world has a lot of overlap. Did Mr. Pickles exert his demonic powers to influence the choice of line-up? If so, he certainly has good taste. Exodus is the influential Bay Area thrash band that helped to establish the genre. After all, Kirk Hammett left Exodus to join Metallica so the thrash pedigree is undeniable. But it's Gary Holt's crunchy and driving, expressive, guitar style and his tasteful solo as lead is oft imitated by rarely equaled. Virginia's Municipal Waste, though coming along in the beginning of the Twenty-First Century, has exerted influence of its own inspired by 80s crossover groups. Its guitars sound like the perfect blend of thrash and late-era first wave hardcore. But its rhythm, particularly the drums, sound borderline grindcore. But Municipal Waste is perhaps best known for its irreverent sense of humor. A band that calls one of its videos "Thrashin's My Business…and Business is Good has to get some points for iconoclasm. Call of the Void you wouldn't call a crossover band even though its grind and hardcore amalgam might give that impression. Its sound is more savage than the typical crossover band but its articulation of pushing the sound of despair and desperation to the extreme as a form of catharsis is often just what you need.

Paperbark, photo by Tom Murphy
Who: Centered Vol. 2: {arsonist}, C. Reider, Paperbark, Luxury Hearse
Where: The Ubisububi Room
Why: This is going to be a kind of ambient/modular synth show in the basement of The Thin Man. With Paperbark, John Mulville uses his modular synth to make abstract sounds that capture textures and the feeling of being in the natural world even as it is completely unnatural, as it were, in generating his soundscapes. C. Reider's vast catalog of fascinating sound experiments and compositions can be found most readily on his Bandcamp page. With releases going back to the late 80s, Reider is something like Colorado's Aphex Twin except less on the glitch end and more on the avant-garde and ambient end of electronic music. Pittsburgh's {arsonist} employs layered atmospheres, textures and strings to create otherworldly compositions reminiscent of The Future Sound of London side project Amorphous Androgynous. Luxury Hearse has a pretty diverse set of sounds but some of its best work sounds like a super chill, secret dance club for minimal synth heads.
Who: KGNU and Lion's Lair Quarterly Showcase: Simulators, Mirror Fears, Joseph Lamar, Rich Jones and CRL CRRLL (DJ set after Rich Jones)
Why: KGNU is one of the few legit radio stations taking real chances with its programming these days (having a community sponsored format probably helps). So every quarter the station has been working with Lion's Lair to book a showcase of some of the more forward thinking and experimental music in various spectrums of the local music world. This particular event is also a Fasor Records mini-showcase. The label started by CRL CRRLL will probably include like-minded artists who push the boundaries of where electronic dance music and hip-hop production intersect. As indicated above, CRRLL will do a DJ set. Also on hand for this show are raw and spare post-punk duo Simulators, maximalist, deeply emotional and socially critical electronic artist Mirror Fears and Joseph Lamar who has found a sweet spot with his solid songwriting based in indie rock, jazz, experimental electronic music and a theatrical performance style.
Who: Pretty Mouth, The Patient Zeros and Kitty Crimes
Why: This is going to be a different kind of show. Pretty Mouth is Marie Litton's more Americana side of her songwriting. That said, there is a spiritual quality to Litton's songs and performance even though she seems to be writing from a life that hasn't been short on struggle, heartache and a deep love for people and of living like you mean it. The Patient Zeros are in a similar realm of songcraft but more in a rock and roll vein. Too many bands have tried to be "rock and roll" but The Patient Zeros' songs don't sound like they learned about Jack White a few years ago but have none of the poetry or genuine swagger. The Patient Zeros never come off like the second-rate Kings of Leon. Kitty Crimes…Maria Kohler has always been up to some noteworthy music including Science Partner and Mercuria and the Gem Stars. Kitty Crimes has been sort of a dirty rap project but in Kohler's hands there's an elegance and transformative quality that renders that sort of thing into something fun and worth your time above and beyond the appeal of anything transgressive but not inherently harmful.

Bully, photo by Alysse Gafkjen
Who: Bully w/Melkbelly
Why: Bully's first album, 2015's Feels Like, polarized critics. Oh, sure, the band sounds like it was beyond influenced by early 90s alternative rock. When you grow up with some kind of music it's bound to creep in there sometime. But the founder of the band, Alicia Bognanno got a degree in recording and did an internship at Electrical Audio—Steve Albini's Chicago-based studios—before going on to working as a recording and live sound engineer and then establishing her own studio to record her own music. That's a lot more dedication to craft than many musicians bother with learning or enduring. It doesn't necessarily make for better music but deserves better consideration than outright dismissal. The follow-up record, 2017's Losing, refines the jagged, angst-driven melodies that made the debut album worthwhile. In the past decade or so there has been a lot of safely celebratory music or the kind of music that hides raw feelings and outrage in palatable constructions. Any darkness and frustration you hear in Bognanno's songs doesn't feel manufactured or couched in some identity stereotype. Even if you feel like her music is a retread of 90s rock you have to give her credit for sincerity.
On the bill tonight as well is Chicago's Melkbelly is roughly an exact contemporary of Bully and based in Chicago, where Bully recorded both of its full-length albums. Melkbelly's music has often been referred to as noise rock, which fits well enough. But Miranda Winders' voice is a consistently melodic focus amid the urgency of the beat and the pulsing, splintered sounds and sense that the song could fragment into burning chaos. Melkbelly has the spirit and energy of a punk band but its sounds are more experimental and more wide-ranging. More Live Skull and Melt Banana than Shellac or Daughters. The group's 2017 album Nothing Valley is an auspicious debut full-length that signals throughout that Melkbelly isn't going for just one or two sounds and dynamics. Also, a band that calls a song "Twin Lookin' Motherfucker" has to be a bunch of glorious weirdos and cherished in a time when the music industry too often rewards easy marketability over outright quality and uniqueness.
Who: Alex Cameron and Molly Burch
Why: Alex Cameron's 2017 album Forced Witness sounds like it could have come out in the mid-80s and hit big alongside the likes of post-Squeeze Paul Carrack or Paul Young—new wave-y, well-crafted pop songs mixed with blue eyed soul. When a lot of other artists now are still tapping the classic rock sound or Laurel Canyon pop, Alex Cameron's update on Icehouse sounds pretty fresh.
Molly Burch may be an artist whose sonic antecedents rest in Brill Building pop and soul singers but her smoky, hushed yet warm and resonant vocals and vulnerability have a mysterious quality that draw you in like Julee Cruise or Angel Olsen. Burch's music has a familiar quality that waxes timeless rather than derivative. Her 2017 debut full length Please Be Mine sounds, track for track, like Godard's 1960s films look—vivid yet dreamlike, emotionally tumultuous yet refined, a lyrical economy of style that uses space and silence to convey much more and much more effectively than clumsily spelling it all out.

Brother Saturn, photo by Tom Murphy
Who: Weird Wednesday: Brother Saturn, Hello Darkness and Full Bleed
Where: 3 Kings
Why: The current edition of Weird Wednesday features a pretty broad mix of sounds. Hello Darkness is sort of a folk punk band without the de riguer labor struggle era folk covers. Rather, its use of various acoustic instruments in the mix makes Hello Darkness the folk pop equivalent of a chamber pop band. Except with more political content than most bands that can be described as "chamber" anything. Considering two thirds of the band used to be in Reality Show it should come as no surprise there's some lively emotionalism on stage. Brother Saturn's melodic soundscapes are reminiscent of the 90s period of guitar and beat driven instrumental ambient/abstract rock acts like Bowery Electric, Seefeel, Magnog and Stars of the Lid. Maybe even Flying Saucer Attack. There is an innocence and elegance to the composition that suggests Drew Miller has carved out a space in his heart and imagination for a pure and universal expression of the kind of transcendently tranquil energy he articulates in his music in general. Brother Saturn is just the more shoegaze-ish end of that.
Who: James Blood Ulmer
When: Wednesday, 03.07 (store.dazzledenver.com/EventTicket/EventDetail/3229/id0/james-blood-ulmer) and Thursday, 3.08 (store.dazzledenver.com/EventTicket/EventDetail/3230/id0/james-blood-ulmer), 7 p.m.
Where: Dazzle
Why: James Blood Ulmer was one of the guitarists who was steeped in jazz but also helped to define fusion with his imaginative, textured guitar work with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers as the first electric guitarist to record and perform live with free jazz genius Ornette Coleman and his long time collaborations with Pharoah Sanders. Ulmer's solo material tends to be a blend of styles with a rich mix of jazz, blues and brooding funk. Whatever Umer's specific music alchemy of the moment, he brings more than dazzling technique and soul, he brings something otherworldly and riveting. The guitarist performs two shows in Denver. As indicated above, the evenings of March 7 and 8 at Dazzle.

Newly appointed Swedish European Union Minister Hans Dahlgren has declared that despite the multiple setbacks faced by Prime Minister Theresa May, he believes an orderly Brexit will occur on March 29th.
Around 40 Tory MPs have gathered to "openly" discuss how to remove Theresa May as Prime Minister, with the support of just 48 needed to trigger a vote of no confidence.
The UK could be heading for 'Brexit in name only', which would be the worst of all worlds, because of government and civil service "incompetence" and weak handling of divorce talks, the former Bank of England governor has said.
Pro-European Union (EU) Tory MPs are concerned about UKIP "entryism" after reporting a sharp rise in new members at local party branches.
Jacob Rees-Mogg has said the government will "appear fretful, weak, and incompetent" if it fails to prepare for a "no deal" clean Brexit, as they are accused of pushing "project fear" so the public will back a softer Brexit.
More than 60 backbench Tory MPs have sent the Prime Minister a list of demands that will guarantee a clean break from the European Union with "full regulatory autonomy" outside the bloc.
Former Liberal Democrat leader and anti-Brexit campaigner Nick Clegg has said the UK will leave the European Union's (EU) Single Market and Customs Union.
The leading Brexit backing MP Jacob Rees-Mogg has demanded the government "fundamentally change" it's "tone" on Brexit, as the Chancellor called for a clean Brexit to be abandoned with only "very modest" changes to the UK's links with the bloc.
Britain's small and medium-sized businesses overwhelmingly want a clean break with the European Union (EU), outside the bloc's Single Market and Customs Union.
A leaked European Union (EU) dossier has revealed the bloc's growing concern about the economic damage Brexit will do to individual regions.
The prime minister must avoid a "soft Brexit" and ensure the UK is free from all major EU institutions and courts after 2019 or Brexit-supporting backbench MPs could "block" the final divorce settlement, The Bow Group has warned.
The government has ordered ministers to negotiate a Brexit "transition period" for the eventuality that trade talks fail and the country leaves the European Union (EU) without a trade deal.
British voters would rather see a so-called hard Brexit from the European Union rather than a slower departure, or even not leaving at all a new poll conducted for British newspaper The Guardian/Observer has found.
The Labour Party will impose a three-line whip on its MPs to vote against the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill in a move described as a "monstrous betrayal" of voters.
The fragile truce established between Remainers and Brexit supporters has shattered in a matter of days, as the Foreign Secretary and International Trade Secretary prepare to oppose the lengthy "transition deal" agreed by Brexit Secretary David Davis under pressure from Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond.
Government insiders are disputing the substance of a recent coming together by Philip Hammond — the Cabinet's leading Remainer — and Dr Liam Fox — a committed Brexit supporter.
The Labour Party has finally acknowledged that Britain must have a full, clean Brexit from the EU's Single Market and Customs Union.
A senior EU politician has told the BBC that Britain can expect a Brexit agreement "much broader and deeper" than the EU-Canada trade deal.
Senior government adviser Andrew Adonis has stirred controversy by comparing Brexit to appeasing Adolf Hitler in the 1930s and warning that Britain is in "serious danger".
Pro-EU diehards in Britain suffered fresh embarrassment on June 12th as unemployment fell to a 43-year low, despite high-profile official warnings that a Brexit vote would push it up by 500,000.
Brexit has received another boost from Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull, who said Britain will have "big horizons and big opportunities" outside the EU and announced his desire for a quick trade deal.
The Japanese ambassador to the United Kingdom slapped down premature celebrations of a Japan/EU trade deal, as Hungary admits it is the EU which stands to lose if it does not make a deal with Britain.
Insiders claim the Government is abandoning its ambitions for a so-called "have your cake and eat it" Brexit, and are considering trading away sovereignty in order to protect "economic interests".
The Government has committed to scrapping the Fisheries Convention of 1964, allowing Britain to take back control of its territorial waters from the EU out to twelve miles – but fishermen are concerned that failure to commit to reclaiming the country's full, 200-mile Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) signals an impending betrayal.
Liberal Democrat leadership hopeful Sir Vince Cable has revealed he is holding informal talks with Tory Remainers to force the Government into a so-called 'Soft Brexit'.
One year on from the public's historic vote to Leave the European Union, negotiations have only just begun and MPs are still arguing over whether to actually go ahead with Brexit.


Imperative programming is a programming paradigm that describes computation in terms of statements that change a program state. This is in opposition to declarative programming, which expresses what the program should accomplish without prescribing how to do it in terms of sequences of actions to be taken. An Imperative language is formed around a structure of code where you describe a series of statements for the computer to execute. These statements are giving directions to the computer in order for it to take specific actions following a certain order in the form of code blocks. The block of code is a part of code that is more of a sequence of statements that contain/form/code and is one of the innovations that came along with imperative languages. A paradigm can better be described as a pattern or an archetype and while all computer languages are unique, all share a common paradigm. "Perl" (created by Larry Wall in 1987) and "Python" (created by Guido van Rossum between 1985 and 1990) are two most widely known imperative programming languages. Developed to be used as a general Unix scripting language, Perl stands for Practical Extraction and Report Language. Perl includes: scalars (variables), arrays, hashes, subroutines, loops, conditionals, regular expressions, objects, file I/O, and many more features.
Imperitive Programming : What is imperitive programming? How is it different from declaritive programming? Are PERL and Python "compiled" languages? Describe why, or why not.
PERL Basics : What is a "typed" language? Is PERL a "typed" language? Why or why not?
Data Types : What is a "sigil"? What is a "scalar"? How does the scalar data type relate to arrays and hashes?
Basic Variables and Display : Create code to display a variable equal to 5000/11. Try displaying it to three decimal places. Now adjust the final display so that if the final decimal place is 5 or greater, that it rounds up.
Working with Arrays and Loops : Code an array of five string variables. Next create two loops, one that displays the names in original order, then a loop that displays it in reverse.
Conditionals - If/Else/Elsif : Much as you would use a Switch/Case statement, write code that takes a variable called $grade and uses if/elsif/else to display what the grade is ("A", "B-", "D" etc).
Subroutines and Recursive Coding : What is a "subroutine"? Why would you need them and when would you use them. Now, code a brief subroutine, in PERL, that creates a variable and states that place in the Fibonacci sequence.

Aubameyang, Lacazette among four Covid cases at Arsenal
Last updated on: August 20, 2021 10:49 IST

Arsenal forwards Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette missed last week's defeat by Brentford due to positive COVID-19 tests, the Premier League side confirmed on Thursday.
While Aubameyang has tested negative since and is in contention to feature against Chelsea on Sunday, strike partner Lacazette is still recovering from the illness.
Others in the squad who returned positive tests include goalkeeper Alex Runarsson and winger Willian, both of whom are unlikely to take part in Chelsea's visit to the Emirates Stadium.
Manager Mikel Arteta's side have been further depleted by injuries to Thomas Partey, Gabriel Magalhaes and Eddie Nketiah, with all three ruled out for Sunday.
Arsenal, who lost 2-0 to Brentford last week, have a series of tough fixtures ahead of them, with the Chelsea game followed by a trip to champions Manchester City.
Brighton's Potter urges players to get vaccinated after family member's COVID death
Brighton & Hove Albion manager Graham Potter has encouraged players to get vaccinated against COVID-19 after losing a family member to the disease.
The number of positive tests in the Premier League have been on the rise recently, with 11 new cases reported in the latest round of testing on Monday.
"I've had first-hand experience of a family member that wasn't vaccinated and unfortunately lost their life with the illness," Potter said ahead of Saturday's Premier League home game against Watford.
"He was 48 -- not the same age as the players of course, but young with two kids, so it's tragic.
"I would advise (vaccination) because I don't want anybody else to go through that," Potter added.
"It was devastating to go through and witness, and tragic for the family. It was last week, unfortunately. It was a quick illness, (he) responded badly to it and went downhill really quickly."

Bringing state health agencies together to work on technology projects related to the Affordable Care Act promises to break down silos and present a holistic, person-centric view of each citizen, no matter which agency door they walk through. But getting there requires data governance teamwork. At the State Healthcare IT Connect Summit in Baltimore on April 1, health IT leaders from several states discussed the challenges they are trying to overcome.
Sean Vinck, CIO of the State of Illinois, teamed up with Kathleen Monahan, executive director of the Illinois Framework Project, to talk about their effort to create a multi-agency collaborative to share technology and business processes among 60 programs in seven health and human services agencies.
During a separate panel discussion, Rex Plouck, portfolio manager in the Ohio Governor's Office of Health Transformation, said a few years ago Ohio health agencies struggled to work on enterprise data governance. "Agencies were trying to work together, but it came down to attorneys slowing things down working on contracts between agencies," he said. But recent legislation clarified that projects sponsored by the Office of Health Transformation don't have to have those types of legal contracts replicated in data-sharing agreements. That has sped up data and resource sharing, he added.
Monahan said her organization has developed a governance structure and handbook for its executive steering committee, which includes a set of attributes of good governance they could agree upon. "Now when they discuss tough issues, they have ground rules," she said. "And we only bring them together when we have something really challenging for them to work on." Steering committee members face a bigger challenge taking data-sharing plans back to their agency to get 2,000 employees to go along with it, she noted.
Sonny Bhagowalia, chief advisor for technology and cyber-security for the State of Hawaii, talked about the state's health-care transformation plan developed during a six-month planning process made possible by a federal grant from the federal Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation. Among its goals are enrolling at least 80 percent of state residents in a patient-centered medical home by 2107, and implementing programs to help high-risk/high-need individuals by establishing Medicaid Health Homes and Community Care Networks.
The transformation relies on an enterprise architecture that allows data sharing and analytics to feed back into the system for improvements.
During another panel about health insurance exchanges, leaders from Connecticut and Rhode Island both said their organizations had initially deferred building data warehouses until their systems were up and running, so their analytics capabilities are limited so far. "We hope to have that completed by the July time frame," said James Wadleigh, CIO of Access Health Connecticut. Initially, data analysis will help the organization understand the demographics of who signed up to assist with marketing for the next open enrollment period, he said. But in the long run, the data can help educate consumers. Connecticut is creating an all payer claims database, he said, which will help the state share information with customers about cost and quality and could help drive costs down.


When you're ready to scale, build a solid framework and clear design for growth. Branding Strategy and Market Research expands the possibility for your business.
Letting someone into your business can be hard until you reach the point where the hours in your day are no longer enough to address all the things that come with founding a business. And the more your business grows, the more important it becomes to recognise when true expertise is worth the investment.
I bring business experience, industry knowledge and a fresh pair of eyes to help you see things from another perspective. Sometimes we get so caught up in the vision for our businesses that we can become blind to what those outside the process are seeing or can contribute. Bespoke branding strategy and market research packages are crafted to suit your business' specific needs and goals. When your plan is clear and clearly effective you can go back to creating exceptional products.
I work with makers, designers, and creators in high-end design and lifestyle sectors who have been in business for 6 months or more or are starting a new business that requires a substantial investment and research to back the idea'.
There is immense value in investing in your business; the right advice and guidance will help your venture grow and flourish.
Your brand goes far beyond your logo. Crafting a brand that stands for your business is about knowing who you are and communicating your particular genius to your audience in the simplest and most powerful way possible across every channel you use. Your brand will evolve as your business evolves, and it must remain relevant to your customers and audience. Ingenious brands are born from strategy and become the anchor of your vision and the guide for your decisions.
I draw on more than 20 years' work as a brand guardian and graphic designer for some of the world's most prestigious brands in the luxury, lifestyle, financial and legal sector. Now I choose to concentrate on crafting bespoke Brand Ingenuity Blueprint for creatives who are ready to start or expand their business to design and lifestyle markets, specifically those in Western markets. I help them build a world-class brand based on their local values, goals, and vision.
The outcome of our work together is a complete Brand Ingenuity Blueprint that will act as Guidebook, Standards, and Companion to refer to as you build and develop your brand.
I'll walk you through the Blueprint, either in person or over a video call, going through each section of your beautifully designed document to clarify and highlight each area, making sure you understand it thoroughly.
3 months later, we'll review how you're implementing your Brand Ingenuity Blueprint to ensure it is successfully guiding your business build.
Like most successful relationships, it starts with a conversation via an introductory SKYPE/Zoom call.
If we prove to be a perfect fit, you'll be invited to complete Your Brand of Genius Workbook, giving me as much information as you can.
Where possible I'd love to visit your studio/workshop/office and see the things you surround yourself with. Your environment speaks volumes about what you value.
We will then have a Clarity Call to review your vision and needs together.
Using the information you provide and my insight and experience I get busy working on crafting your blueprint.
Once complete I deliver your bespoke, beautifully designed Brand Ingenuity Blueprint.
We then have a call to go through the Blueprint to make sure you are clear on how the brand strategy and plan will work for you.
We'll follow up together after 3 months to ensure your Brand Ingenuity Blueprint is helping you build your brand and your business.
Tapiwa was very easy to work with, she immersed herself in all things textile to learn more about my business even though she was already very knowledgeable in that area. Tapiwa prepared a comprehensive study analyzing our nascent brand, competitors and how to achieve strength in the market. The information was extremely helpful and for a fair few years served as a roadmap for our business and how we wanted to develop and grow. The greatest value was having a second and fresh pair of eyes looking at where we were from a much more objective standpoint.
I offer a payment plan of £1675 to get started with the remainder due prior to delivery of the completed work.
Please note I only work with a limited number of clients per quarter on a first come first served basis.
Market research is an important, yet often rushed or ignored, part of planning and running your business. It uncovers the needs of your customers, reveals who your competitors are and what they are doing, and informs the way you position, evolve and expand.
Having worked in the creative industry both on the African continent and in Europe, I see the market you are operating in from the perspective of a local designer stepping onto the global stage. The bespoke Market Insight Report gathers and presents clear information specific and relevant to the business owner who is in tune with their heritage, yet global in their outlook.
The outcome of our work together is a complete Market Insight Report that will document the research, opportunities, and insights of your market and recommendations for positioning your business successfully within it.
I'll walk you through the Report, either in person or over a video call, going through each section of your beautifully designed document to clarify and highlight each area, making sure you understand it thoroughly.
If we prove to be a perfect fit, you'll be invited to complete Your Market Opportunity Workbook, giving me as much information as you can.
Using the information you provide and my insight and experience I get busy working on crafting your Report.
Once complete I deliver your bespoke, beautifully designed Market Insight Report.
We then have a call to go through the Report to make sure you are clear on how market opportunities will work for you.
I offer a payment plan of £1300 to get started with the remainder due prior to delivery of the completed work.

Q: Is there a way to reference Airflow task group by group_id similar to referencing tasks dag_instance.get_task('task_name')? I'm trying to find a way to reference task group by it's id.
something like:
dag.get_group('group_id')

I know how to get task instance with get_task('task_id') method, but strangely there is no way I could find to do the same with TaskGroup objects.
Any workarounds that you know?

A: This should work:
tg = dag.task_group.get_child_by_label(group_id)

"The Dr. Oz Show" will come to an end in January as the daytime host runs for Senate in Pennsylvania.
The long-running daytime show hosted by Dr. Mehmet Oz will officially end on Jan. 14, series distributor Sony Pictures Television said. The show is currently in its 13th season and has won 10 Daytime Emmy Awards during its time on the air.
It will be replaced by "The Good Dish," a new one-hour syndicated cooking and chat show hosted by Daphne Oz, Gail Simmons and Jamika Pessoa. The new show has been picked up by station groups across the country including Fox, Hearst, Nexstar, Gray and Sinclair, among others. "The Good Dish" will launch on Jan. 17 in over 90% of the U.S., including top market stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia and Dallas. The show started out as a weekly segment on "The Dr. Oz Show."
"Audiences have been loving what Daphne, Gail and Jamika have been serving up during their weekly segments on 'The Dr. Oz Show' for years," said Zack Hernandez, senior vice president and general sales manager of U.S. Syndication Sales for Sony Pictures Television. "We have long believed The Good Dish would make an excellent stand-alone series and are delighted to be able to deliver this fresh take on the cooking genre to our station partners and their viewers across the country."
"The Good Dish" comes from executive producers Amy Chiaro, Stacy Rader, and ZoCo Productions. The show is produced by ZoCo Productions and is distributed by Sony Pictures Television.
Dr. Oz announced his run for retiring U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey's seat in November. Shortly thereafter, the Fox Station Group announced it was pulling the show from New York and Pennsylvania.
