“Put on your helmets, bitches!” Fort Collins Natives Elway & Friends Play 3 Kings
Fort Collin’s invaded Denver on Friday, Dec 1st, well okay, not necessarily an invasion, but they definitely sent some hard rocking ambassadors.
Arliss Nancy and Sour Boy Bitter Girl opened for Elway, who all brought they’re respective, yet intermingled genres to 3 Kings Tavern. One band, a little country, another a little Conor Oberst, and the last a little more punk, and in that order too.
The schizophrenic sounding line-up all complimented each other and the venue well. 3 Kings Tavern, a venue that jostles between super awesome and extremely frightening, somehow manages to get a different genre, and thus new crowd every night of the week. One night you could be enjoying a ska-punk show, skanking and chugging 40’s with strangers and the next night you could be seeing “The Show is The Rainbow” (Lincoln, Nebraska) and watching a coked-out, half-naked version of Jack Black running around in circles strangling himself with a microphone chord while spouting off some paranoid nonsense.
And yeah, tonight would merely add to that eclectic mix.
SOD: Elway “Passing Days”
These guys caused a lackluster trivial argument with their name and John Elways PR people a little while back but I’m pretty sure that’s been resolved. Most thought it would be the most press the band would receive and since then I have not even heard a song. I’ve seen them live which I wasn’t too impressed but now after hearing this song on a recent compilation sent to me called Cross Pollination I’ll have to catch them live again, it’s free and chalk full of some good tunes so pick it up and do what I did and play this Elway song over 50 times in the last 2 days.
