Ellie Goulding | The Ogden Theatre | February 1st
We had a chance to check out Ellie Goulding last Friday night as her Halycon Tour made a stop in the Mile High City. Ellie has become quite of a household name nowadays whether it's her dance-friendly music or tabloid relationship with former beau Skrillex. Friday night UK sensation reached into her catalog from her two albums two rile the crowd, but more on newer material from Halycon. She included crowd favorites, "Dont Say A Word," "Guns & Horses," and "Lights," which she saved for last. Her fame and following continues to grow with every hit she puts out. The night began with New Yorkers St. Lucia who opened up without a rather impressive set; the electro pop band from Brooklyn is currently signed to Neon Gold and will be releasing a full length album later this year. Check out more photos here.

Ellie Goulding at The Ogden: Review
Let’s get something out in the open right away. I have many guilty pleasures, one being pop music, more importantly pop music sang by beautiful women (Katy Perry, Britney…you see where I am going with this). Monday night I had a chance to see Ellie Goulding, now me and the lovely Ms. Goulding have a history sort of speak. It started at SXSW, it was the first time I got to see her perform and it was love at first sight. Now I’m a sucker for any woman who picks up a guitar, pounds a snare, and sings beautifully. I managed to snap, oh say 127 pictures (I think it was 117, but who’s counting) of her at SXSW gig. When I found out she was rolling through Denver, I was pretty excited (I heard she just had an awesome set at Lollapalooza this past weekend). Ellie is one of those imports from across the pond, that have a cult-like following here in the states very similar to those who have come before her such as Kate Nash, Lilly Allen and even the late great Amy Winehouse.
