Hinds @ Larimer Lounge
The night of October 22, Larimer Lounge was invaded by the casual, relaxed and chilly indifference of Hinds. This garage pop-rock girl band formed in 2011 in Madrid came to Denver as part of their 2015 American tour. Their concert brought me back to my home country, Spain.

Girlpool – Concert Review
Girlpool are talented. Consisting of Cleo Tucker on guitar and Harmony Trividad on bass (both sing) the two are able to, quite successfully, pluck the listener from the age-diverse and sweaty crowd and plop them right onto their weed-cracked hometown sidewalk. The songs are simple and easy to grasp–not surprising considering the subject matter of the songs and lack… Read more
