These days Franti is more known for his upbeat, highly positive world-music-oriented funk and soul and rightfully so, that’s what he feels is the best vehicle for making music counter to the misguided and destructive elements of world human culture.

Why: Michael Franti & Spearhead will release its new album Stay Human 2 later this year but for this tour you can catch the band in support of the first volume of Stay Human. Who: Michael Franti & Spearhead w/Xavier Rudd and Victoria Canal Michael Franti and Spearhead, photo by Anthony Thoen Performing is genre-bending electronic pop band Pan Astral who will be joined on stage by Luke Miller of Lotus and Johnny 5 and Brer Rabbit of Flobots making it a one-of-kind show for everyone that shows up and one aimed at helping out one of Denver’s true independent art institutions. This show is a benefit for the gallery’s new space. It also hosted forward thinking multimedia presentations. The gallery hosted numerous events for some of Denver’s most adventurous artists and was a hub/base of operations for the more visually inclined creators including filmmakers, painters and sculptors. Why: Hinterland Gallery sat north of Downtown Denver for years before the inevitable happened and existence in that part of town became untenable. What: New Hinterland Benefit Concert: Pan Astral, Like Miller from Lotus and Flobots Sonic Vomit is coming up from Pueblo to bring its noisy prog death metal and Today’s Paramount could be considered a math-y, No Wave funk band with elements of psych in its sound. Also, vocalist Shannon Webber is an electrifying figure delivering her lines with a theatrical and symphonic intensity like a Kabuki theater performer but reigned in by no one’s muse but her own. But the music runs deeper with roots in noise, industrial, political punk and art rock. Church Fire some people probably think of as kind of a dance music band with melodic synth lines and bumping rhythms. Three other bands that don’t really fit anyone else’s mode so well are also playing this show. Lots of synth and keyboards and drastic shifts in tone, rhythm and texture to that it never gets bogged down in adherence to genre. Its songs while containing elements of black metal and grindcore has more in common with Goblin and Naked City. The Denver based band sounds like some kind of art-rock/fusion/prog band. Why: Giardia is releasing its latest album tonight. Who: Giardia album release w/Church Fire, Sonic Vomit and Today’s Paramount Friday | JAnimal Years, photo by Organic Photography Because the title of the album is humorous while honoring what makes that style of music great, you can bet the band will embody that spirit live as well. The band is in the vein of classic thrash and speed metal with a little punk thrown in and Fairly is its frontman. He also has a band called Hail Satan that’s releasing its Rad Metal EP tonight. Whether it’s his This is Heavy Metal comic or work he’s done for various concerns, his clean lines, use of space and compelling detail are noteworthy.

Why: Jake Fairly’s work as a graphic/comic artist isn’t so difficult to run into around town. Who: Hail Satan EP release of Rad Metal w/Dead Characters and Cönaxx Whether it’s the transcendent hip-hop of R A R E B Y R D $, the noisy electroclash of Gold Trash, the soulful downtempo of Pearls & Perils, EVP’s genre-defying electronic punk or Rachael Pollard’s ability to seemingly write from a middle school diary of dreams, fears and loves with a sublime wisdom and playfulness, this lineup is impeccable. This show is a short list of the best songwriters and, in the case of everyone but Rachael, electronic music artists in Denver right now. Why: Glasss Records is commemorating its 100th show with an event that includes RAREBYRD$ and Rachael Pollard who will be going to Titwrench Stockholm on June 14 and 15 this year. Who: Glasss Records & Titwrench Presents the 100th Glasss Show: R A R E B Y R D $, Gold Trash, Pearls & Perils, Rachael Pollard, EVP Why: Industrial/dark pop duo EVP is celebrating singer/guitarist Amanda Baker’s birthday with this show alongside weirdo synth/keytar sorceress Claudzilla and Mirror Fears’ emotionally cathartic electronic compositions.
