PLACES BACK HOME The Color & Decay EP
Daniel Thompson
BandWagon Magazine
It’s a rare thing to find a band that has both raw musical talent and killer songwriting. It’s another thing entirely to find that band in your own backyard. Places Back Home is a power quartet out of Fort Collins who embody this combination, using it to create something truly unique. Seeing music as a chance to honestly express the complicated realities of everyday life, Places Back Home focus their music on darker topics like feeling insignificant or dealing with loss. These themes are brought earnestly to the forefront by vocalist Chris Tofano, but be fooled by the sincerity. The precision of Robert Garren’s heavy drums throughout will have you on your feet nodding your head in no time. With their upcoming release The Color & Decay EP, Places Back Home manage again to combine the natural talent of their musicians with a rock-solid musical concept, creating new and exciting sounds with a clear vision. From the first moments of “Not I,” with it’s haunting wash of guitars, to the absolutely roaring end of “Epilogues,” listeners can tell every member of Places Back Home knows not only how to play their part,
but how their part fits into the song on an emotional level. From lush, effect-heavy soundscapes and pleading vocals to Bailey Entner’s Soundgarden-like guitar riffs, The Color & Decay EP showcases how Places Back Home integrate their wide variety of musical influences. They also know exactly when to kick it into high gear, which Coloradans can witness in person twice the week of the EP’s release.
The Color & Decay EP officially drops online and on disc August 20, with two shows later in the month in Denver and Fort Collins respectively, which promise to both get you on the floor and give you all the feels, exactly as the EP intends: August 23 at Lost Lake Lounge in Denver (w/ Tolstoy, Ivory Circle) & August 24 at The Downtown Artery in Fort Collins (w/ Holdfast, Overslept).

David baker Minus Piano
Valerie Vampola
BandWagon Magazine
David Baker’s new jazz album Minus Piano is just that. A trio without a piano, or any chordal instrument like guitar or an orchestra. The lack of lush harmony usually provided by these instruments strips down the compositions that, coupled with creative arrangements, expose their beauty. Baker, ironically, chose to feature songs written by pianists on an album entitled Minus Piano. He chose tunes from nonkeyboardists like Frank Loesser too, but the title stems from his inclusions of compositions by Count Basie, McCoy Tyner, and Thelonius Monk to name a few. Whether they played in orchestras or as soloists, Baker, a bassist, recognizes that these pianists stood out as composers and not just performers. His stripped-down approach shows a good tune doesn’t need bells and whistles, even when they were originally performed with them. In fact, Baker seems to be demonstrating that sometimes those bells and whistles drown-out the tune itself. A striking example is Baker’s interpretation of Basie’s “Shiny Stockings.” Traditionally, it’s played as an easy, relaxed swing by a big band, with luscious horns swelling t h ro u g h o u t . But Baker’s trio approaches the piece with an afro-cuban groove. Basie’s traditional version is like
6
a stroll in the park, but Baker, along with tenor saxophonist Joel Harris and drummer Sarute Wijitwechakarn, weave us through traffic on I-25. Without a chordal instrument to lift him, Harris takes the job of providing a strong sense of harmony. In “Almost Like Being In Love,” he seizes the absence of chords and shreds through any scale his sax can fit into a phrase. Without another instrument dictating the colors of the harmony, Harris plays the tones he wants, carrying the tune admirably. Without the density of a chordal instrument, the arrangements allow space, and the band is comfortable with that. In Ray Charles’ “I Can’t Stop Loving You,” their sparseness exaggerates the song’s bluesiness, bringing out the soul without the heft of Charles’ gospel choir. I admit that occasionally the music felt bare, like mashed potatoes without gravy, but the album serves its purpose: I appreciated the tunes themselves more after hearing them without their iconic arrangements. Minus Piano reminds us that when it’s the good stuff, you don’t need cream in that coffee. David Baker will be swinging at Jay’s Bistro in Fort Collins August 16, 17, 23 &24, and at Tower 56 in Greeley on August 29.

Oxeye daisy
They Say You’re a Demon Valerie Vampola
BandWagon Magazine
At Oxeye Daisy’s release show, you would have thought the year was 1993. Cassettes were even available at the merch table. And then there was the music. Oxeye Daisy’s new album, They Say You’re a Demon (out July 12) is reminiscent of 90’s coffee-house alternative and post-grunge but with a dreamy edge. A little more than a year ago, they released their first album, showing us some of their other 90’s flavors with dashes of poppunk and a song that could have been on a Cranberries’ album. In fact, they’ve co-covered “Dreams” with Tyto Alba and re-do Chris Isaak here, but They Say You’re a Demon has the feel of a clear mood. The overall album feels dark and spacey, like waking up in the middle of the night from a vivid guitar-y dream. Lela Roy’s brogue
has an ethereal quality that’s delicate and clear but evokes aggressive power when needed. In “Beth” she volleys between gentleness like Sinead O’Connor and expressive dynamics like Grace Slick. Mixed with dissonant guitar and ghostly synths, Roy takes us back and forth between a clear state of mind and a hazy consciousness. Their previous self-titled album gravitated in a few directions (alternative, blues, punk) but they all felt like separate ideas. They Say You’re a Demon flows
seamlessly. Even when the bands steps out of the box from the album’s feel, they find a way to integrate those textures without sacrificing the vibe. The opening of “Girls Are The New Boys” strays far from the dreamy atmosphere of the album, evoking Dick Dale playing punk, and Roy’s fearless wails embellish the frantic tension of the song until it floats off to Pink Floyd territory mid way. But through instrumentation and production, the band still maintains their 90’s sound.
Overt influences like The Cranberries, Veruca Salt and Garbage, are evident, but they give themselves a darker, avante twist, pulling them away from the pop realm. Whether it’s on Spotify or your revived walkman, They Say You’re a Demon keeps the 90’s alive in both the new Denver and Colorado scene at large. Catch Oxeye Daisy in Fort Collins August 10 at 2:40pm for Bohemian Nights At New West Fest on the Old Town Square Stage. More at www. bohemiannights.org

Ron: Weekdays 6am - 10am Below, Margot notes some 50th anniversaries, so I’ll look back 30 years to 1989! 1. Fine Young Cannibals: The Raw & the Cooked - It was #1 in that summer. You couldn’t turn around without hearing “She Drives Me Crazy” or “Good Thing.” Still, 30 years later, the whole thing sounds great! 2. Elvis Costello: Spike – This was his first album for Warner Brothers and they gave him the space (and budget!) to make the album he wanted. He did so using 4 different bands in 4 different locations: LA, New Orleans, Dublin & London. 3. The Berlin Wall comes down – This opened up East Berlin (and more) to the West and our music. Even Roger Waters performed the album The Wall in Berlin in 1990 with guests Joni Mitchell, Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Van Morrison & more. 4. Cheers - This TV show was HUGE! Those of us living in Boston at the time happily embraced Sam, Diane, Coach, Carla, Norm & Cliff. Later with Woody, Frasier, Rebecca & Lilith too. It’s still a Master Class in how to make a classic show! 5. Bonnie Raitt: Nick Of Time - This album made Bonnie into the star she was always meant to be. After its success, she told the crowd at a show I saw: “It’s nice to be on the road because I want to be, not because I have to be.” Hope you get to see her at Bohemian Nights at New West Fest Saturday, August 10!
Margot: Weekdays 10am - 3pm This year marks some big 50th anniversaries, most notably the 50th anniversary of the moon landing and of Woodstock. Here are some other things turning 50 this year. 1. “Space Oddity” - David Bowie’s iconic song was released just 5 days before Apollo 11 blasted off for the moon. 2. Abbey Road - Millions of London tourists
would recreate the memorable album cover of the Beatles crossing this now famous street, but Abbey Road endures because of the songs. 3. Sesame Street - Who didn’t watch Sesame Street growing up? (And even as an adult – admit it!) Even John Lennon was a fan. 4. Scooby Doo — Scooby and the gang have been solving mysteries for 50 years. That’s a lot of Scooby snacks! It’s also a lot of ne’er-dowells who “would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for those meddling kids.” 5. The Rolling Stones play Hughes Stadium — 50 years later, The Rolling Stones are still on the road (and playing Mile High Stadium August 10) but about 50 years ago, the Stones played Hughes in Fort Collins.
Stacy: Weekdays 3pm - 7pm 1. Jack Malik – If you’re looking for a perfect, feel-good summer movie, my pick is Yesterday. The latest film from Danny Boyle features Himesh Patel as Jack Malik, the only person on earth who remembers the Beatles and their music. It’s a fun rollick that, even though lighthearted, has its poignant moments. Love the casting of Himesh, Ed Sheeran, Joel Fry and the cameos from Michael Kiwanuka, Robert Carlyle and James Corden. 2. SoundCheck – Our new feature on The Colorado Sound weekdays at 4:18, debuting new music, overlooked tunes or just something I want to share. Here’s how week number one started. Caroline Polachek: “Door,” Black Midi: “Talking Heads,” Cayucas: “Jessica WJ,” Kate Davis: “Rbbts” and Amber Mark: “Mixer.” Go to coloradosound.org to listen! 3. Movies under the stars. – If you can’t make it to a drive-in, try the outdoor movies at The Lyric Cinema in Ft Collins. This series dubbed The Great Outdoors features new and old movies all summer. Pull up a lawn chair, grab a snack and watch a movie al fresco!
4. The Heavy: Sons – UK band The Heavy’s 5th album Sons came out in May, but I’m just now getting to spend some time with this rollicking, funky, high energy release. It’s everything you’d hope from Kelvin Swaby and the boys, and truly, best described as heavy! . 5. Baseball season – Coors Field is one of my ‘happy places” – whether it’s a pitcher’s duel or a battle of the bats, I love a day at the park. Now I’m hoping the Rockies will reciprocate my love with a strong second half of the season!
Benji: Weekdays 7pm - 10pm 1. The Stones at Mile High - My first Rock n Roll show was the Rolling Stones at Folsom Field in Boulder in 1981. It was the show that ruined me and made me a music fanatic. We have all logged a few miles since then, but don’t ever miss a chance to see the greatest band in Rock n Roll. 2. The Clash: London Calling - Margot did a terrific Music 101 program devoted to the music of 1979. This is one of my favorite albums of all time. Hard to believe it’s turning 40. It doesn’t look a day over 39. 3. Football - Come on. Let’s get this season started. Now that the Tour de France is over, August seems like the longest month. 4. Violent Femmes: “I’m Nothing” - This song is everything I love about Rock n Roll. It’s stupid, angry and catchy as hell. Once you hear it, you won’t be able to stop singing it. 5. Jalapeno Fritos - IIf you have an addictive personality, it may be best to just avoid these. Just sayin’.

big Statements and a Sense of Home By: Nate Wilde
There are certain genres of music that are synonymous with specific regions of the world. The correlation between the 90’s grunge sound and Seattle, country music and places like Nashville and Texas, and the unmistakable sound of traditional Irish music are easy to
Kolesar says of the record: “This Story is kind of like our big artistic statement. It sounds like the modern millennial culture – in my mind at least. And that’s obviously not something that’s really defined. I feel strongly that it sounds like where we’re from.”
“This Story is no longer available is our big artistic statement. It sounds like sounds like where we’re from.” pinpoint. However, the American Southwest, while culturally rich, has more or less struggled to find its niche in the music world. Yet, that is precisely what Jared & The Mill have been pursuing for the better part of the last decade. Keeping it passionate, frank and even funny, the quintet have accomplished the feat with flying, desert colors. Jared & The Mill was birthed into the hot Phoenix sun by Jared Kolesar and his Arizona State University buddies back in 2011. Since then, the band of brothers have been consistently and successfully creating their own brand of what Kolesar refers to as “Western Indie Rock.” The ASU alumni kept their school spirit with them long after their college tenures. As Kolesar describes the significance of The Mill: “We all went to ASU. The big party street is called Mill Avenue. There’s an old flour mill at the end of the road. That kind of sprouted the name.” Their unique brand of Western Indie Rock is best represented via their latest album, 2018’s This Story is No Longer Available.
The album is varied to say the least, with a nice mix of westerntinged love songs, country tunes, messy guitar-driven musings on regret and even a Pink Floydesque spacey jam. However, despite the western indie feel of the record, Jared & The Mill are certainly not afraid to rock out. Numerous tracks exercise their
appropriately titled “Jared and the Mill Sucks.” It’s a 15 second rant by a friend of the band who was coaxed into saying, according to Kolesar, “the most offensive thing about the band possible.” In addition to the laughs and showing love to numerous locales across the United States on tour, Jared & The Mill have also shown love to the men and women in our armed forces overseas. Kolesar recounted a recent trip to the Persian Gulf where they “were flown onto and off of an aircraft carrier off the coast of Iran.” He went on to say that they “think it’s important to provide a sense of home to people that are really far away,” and that a lot of military overseas are “just kids. Sometimes they’re scared,
“We played on an aircraft carrier off the coast of Iran, to provide a sense of home to people that are far away.” fair share of freedom in dynamic range, frequently going from soft and subtle like the Avett Brothers to all-out gang-busters a la Kings Of Leon in the blink of an eye.
sometimes they’re homesick, and to be able to provide a sense of home for those young kids was a really, really cool opportunity for us.”
Kolesar and crew have been described as a mix between The Lumineers, Arcade Fire and Waylon Jennings, a comparison which he is “super down with,” but it’s their sense of humor that sets them apart from these influences. This lightheartedness is exemplified in what they call “skits,” appearing every few songs on the album. While skimming the track list, one such break from the music catches the eye, a skit
On the heels of This Story is No Longer Available, Jared & The Mill tour the US this Summer. They perform at The Moxi Theater Friday, August 16 with Silver & Gold and Weareforests. Tickets at moxitheater.com

CHARLEY
CROCKETT Full Of The Fire:
The Old Sounds Of Struggle
Charley Crockett spent a decade on the street, making a living off tips he earned as a busker. He played the “old sounds of struggle” that he identifies with even now as a touring musician making a good living. Times were tough. His life was so sparse, he was grateful for a friend’s couch when he could get it. But at 35, Crockett looks back on those years with the same thoughtful nature that marks his lyrics and his life. He was born to live off the street, at least for a while, he said in a phone interview for BandWagon, and he’s grateful for the experience. “When you see people who make a living off the street for a long period of time, the thing they

But that’s until you consider he wasn’t sure he would even make it out of heart surgery and was getting dizzy spells on stage.

Every song, he said, is a variation of his story, but he does not believe he’s alone. “I think everyone goes through that stuff,” Crocket said. “I’ve yet to know of an American family

Rock Om: DJ Dr ez Hea ds To Ar ise BY: Kyle Eustice
DJ Drez has essentially moved like a ninja throughout his entire career. He’s worked with several notable names while simultaneously retaining his humble demeanor — and that’s no easy feat in the music industry. In the late 1990s, Drez — who is rooted in the Los Angeles hip-hop scene — had the chance to work with Eminem, but this was years before Slim Shady became the trailblazing, multi-platinum-selling MC he is today. Although Drez and Em didn’t develop any type
of special bond, Drez says “it’s a trip” they ever worked together. “That was a long time ago, somewhere around 1997,” Drez recalls. “I was part of a hip-hop group called the Anonymous and a friend of a friend suggested that

He came up to me, introduced himself and handed me his record.” And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Drez has collaborated with Macy Gray, Black Eyed Peas, Black Star, KRS-One and Project Blowed, among others. But as a solo artist, Drez creates something far from the chart-topping pop beats you might expect. He weaves together incredibly layered, almost tantric soundscapes such as 2005’s Jahta Beats and 2009’s Jahta Beats: A Path To Light. Despite being 18 albums deep into his catalog, Drez simply can’t stop creating. “The music creation is constantly flowing,” he says. “I just released a new album titled Sweet Storms. It’s an experimental project on a few levels. It’s not totally the beatdriving Drez people are familiar

One of their primary goals is to help people understand that balance is
critical to having a happy life. “The root of the teachings is first acknowledging that we are humans,” he explains. “Ease, challenge, happiness and sadness are all a part of that experience, and they are meant to be experienced and respected. However, by having a yoga practice, some kind of mind & body discipline, we can navigate this life in a more balanced way that can lift us back up over and over again even with all the hard knock-downs.” The Rock Om program goes hand-in-hand with not only his music career but also his spirituality. Drez reveals he consistently feels the presence of something larger than himself and has often had magical experiences as a result. “I’ve had these experiences for most of my life,” he says. “The especially big ones are hard to put into words and are better kept within. There is a subtle magic almost daily that shows me that we are all part of a masterpiece. It is our privilege as well as our greatest task to do the work so we can contribute in a responsible way to this great creation.”
DJ Drez can be found spinning an inspired sonic trance at the Arise Festival’s Yoga village, August 2-4 at Sunrise Ranch in Loveland. Tickets for day and weekend passes at www.arisefestival.com
