Red Bull Sound Select -- an artist development program that works with the best curators in local music scenes to bring fans unique shows -– is proud to announce Diane Coffee will headline the December installment of the series at the Marquis Theatre with fellow Red Bull Sound Select acts Shady Elders and Ned Garthe Explosion opening up. The show is 18+ and is only $3 with RSVP here: http://win.gs/DecDen

We had a chance to see Diane Coffee last time they rolled through the Mile High City and it was probably one of the funnest show that we have covered. We also want to get crazy with a contest and send one winner and their gang (i'm talking 10 friends to come check out the show). Stay tuned to our Instagram for more info.

What could have been a throwaway side hustle by Foxygen drummer Shaun Fleming, Diane Coffee has become a nuanced throwback project that delves heartily into psych rock and the likes of T. Rex, early Queen and a little bit of glam thrown in there to boot. Shady Elders deserves your attention, combining a velvety pile of synth and dreamy guitars into a warm sound that will surprise you. Rounding out the night will be Ned Garthe Explosion, a sledgehammer of sound usually, but with new tunes on the way, you’re not going to want to show up late.

Last Tuesday we were able to get nice and cozy with Diane Coffee at Lost Lake Lounge. With an impressive opening set from Flaural, who by the way you can catch at the next Red Bull Sound Select Show on April 20th. Shaun Fleming heads up Diane Coffee, the lead drummer for indie darlings Foxygen has taken his solo show on tour to some impressive reviews. We sent out Ultra5280 photographer Liz Whitman to capture some shots, take a look and be sure to check out Diane Coffee available on iTunes.

Music | of Montreal | The Bluebird Theater | October 28 | Review and Photos

of Montreal kicked off the Halloween weekend in Denver at the Bluebird Theater on Wednesday night. The crowd was full of tacos, hot dogs, mermaids, and men dressed in beautiful ball gowns. of Montreal always delivers a sensational performance full of costumes, intricate projections and best of all their fantastic, danceable music. This eclectic performance was the perfect way to kick of Halloween. 

Diane Coffee opened the show with heavily 70’s style influenced soul ballads. Diane Coffee is headed by Shaun Fleming, who is also the drummer for Foxygen. Having broken his foot a couple days earlier, Fleming limped onto the stage using a cane. As soon as the music started though, Fleming was jumping around energetically. His energy will probably not allow his foot to heal anytime soon, but it did lend to a great performance to watch. 

of Montreal was introduced to the stage by a character wearing a cape and a muscle morph suit. He gave an elegant, inspirational speech that urged the crowd to let go of their inhibitions tonight, enjoy the music, and dance the night away. When he welcomed of Montreal’s frontman, Kevin Barnes, to the stage the fans were ecstatic. As the evening progressed, each song brought new projected visualizations, and more people in morph suits to the stage. It was a dazzling evening. -Liz Whitman
