THE CatCalls The Catcalls EP

Nate Wilde

BandWagon Magazine

The Northern Colorado music scene is truly a unique animal. We’ve got everything from bluegrass, new-grass, indie, alternative, and metal.

However, if there was ever a void for a sultry, chill style of blues rock, The Catcalls have filled it with the polished purr of their self-titled release.

Led by singer and songwriter Riley Ann, The Catcalls have been stalwarts on the scene over the past few years (notably competing in our 2018 Battle Of The Bands) but it’s with the release of their upcoming self-titled EP that the group truly steps it up.

The record kicks off with “Bloodhounds,” a sort of Beatles-on-downers track, with big, dissonant chords. It’s a powerful yet chill opener that almost sounds like music for a dream sequence in a film.

Speaking of film, the album then showcases The Catcalls’ ability to take a song and make it their own, covering “You’re the One That I Want” from Grease.

Riley and co-producer Jay Elliott take the John Travolta and Olivia Newton John classic and turn the temperature way down, transforming the bouncy pop hit into a cool, smooth number flecked with electric organ and wah-drenched guitars.

The album keeps with its cool, bluesy vibe on the very Colorado-centric “I Get High,” which features an almost honky-tonk piano, taking the listener’s imagination to an old rough-and-tumble roadhouse.

Finally, the arguably stand-out track, if you will, “My Stand” closes out the five song collection. It’s slow and mysterious, placing us in a vast desert, with Riley’s vocals going from a previously more Susan Tedeschi and Bonnie Raitt style, to a feel reminiscent of Natalie Merchant’s more somber early works.

The Catcalls’ self-titled EP not only accurately translates their raucous live performances to record, but also puts them at the forefront of cool, bluesy Colorado rock with an attitude that the scene so desperately needs.

The Catcalls release their self titled EP October 17 with a show at Pinball Jones Campus West in Fort Collins.

JARROD GIPSON

Heart Eyes. Cycles. Clear Mind Valerie Vampola

BandWagon Magazine

Jarrod Gipson, known in the local scene as the drummer for Nina and the Hold Tight, ventures out with a debut solo album that should excite Hold Tight fans.

Heart Eyes. Cycles. Clear Mind., out October 11, continues a similar modern, soulful pop rock sound, but he pulls his album in a mellow, electronic direction that hazes the air a bit more.

Each track fades into the next with echoes of Gipson’s voice and spacey white noise, adding an air of confusion and angst. As a singer, Gipson shows an intimate and tender side to contrast his powerful choruses – the dynamics of which may surprise fans of his forceful drumming with The Hold Tight. He exaggerates that powerful chorus/verse contrast with subtle lower harmonies or by adding distortion effects, as heard in “Clockwise” and “Taste.”

The wall of sound that characterizes much of the album is powerful and emotionally engaging. But at times all those instrumental layers are a bit too thick, lacking minimalistic moments to allow

6

the music to breathe and the listener to process it all.

When he does give the arrangements some space, like at the end of “Fragments,” the vocals and keys give us a moment of tranquility. As a young, ambitious artist, it’s easy to want to throw every cool idea and effect out there to show your audience what you’re made of. But the best moments come when he exposes himself just a little more.

Gipson’s debut is an impressive, ambitious introduction to him as a soloist, where he throws everything he’s got at us.

Hopefully, he’ll continue his exploration of textures as well as refining his ideas to bring out his promising songwriting. If he does, a bright, clear path lies ahead.

Heart Eyes. Cycles. Clear Mind. is available online October 11.

PARIS MONSTER Lamplight

Kevin Johnston

BandWagon Magazine

The first time you see Josh Dion and Geoff Kraly perform live, you’ll realize your mouth has been hanging open for minutes.

This is the initial jaw-dropping shock one goes through at their first Paris Monster show: how are just two people doing this?

The technical explanation of the group thus: Josh simultaneously sings unstoppably pure, mammothpowered soul, while playing super phat drums and deftly precise keyboard bass.

Meanwhile, Geoff plays bass guitar through a modular synth, creating limitless soundscapes and melodic imagery.

But the musical explanation of the dark, elaborately funky Paris Monster is something to be pondered. The only problem with doing so, is that your head

Canyon Air” could be a soulful re-imagining of a TV On The will be bobbing all explanations Radio jam. loose onto the dance floor.

Lamplight gets its title from a This Halloween, the duo tour lyric in “Moles,” the only majorColorado supporting their full- key moment on the album, where Kraly’s high-register length Lamplight.

The record opens with the blinks and leading melodies ominous murk of a bass riff, offer a respite from the lowsludging underneath bashing, end darkness dominating the slow-funk drums and the record’s tone. The stutter-funk whine of feedback, framing an of “My Disarming” gives way to avante garde Leon Bridges-like Stranger Things synth and mathvocal wail prophesying from a rock beats, while Dion’s pure, parallel dimension. The pulse of eloquent vocal on “Old Dreams” “Andalusia” harkens to their NYC soars in an open atmosphere of peers St. Vincent, while “HotS:7” electro-arpeggios, making high

art out of foggy funk.

Paris Monster lay down the deepest of staccatofunk grooves, yet paint bleak, verbose pictures above it in a soaring, soulful howl. With as much raw talent oozing from their pores as they do, Paris Monster take the high-road by keeping it smart, but keeping it low and nasty too.

Don’t miss Paris Monster October 31 at The Aggie in Fort Collins, November 1 at the Fox in Boulder and November 2 at the Bluebird in Denver with Cory Wong.

LACY JO

Self-Titled EP Brittany Culp

BandWagon Magazine

Lacy Jo is humble and gracious. She attributes her successes to God for showing her the way, her family and the agricultural community for always helping her grow and supporting her, and everyone that’s encouraged and helped her along the way.

She believes she wouldn’t be where she is if not for these instrumental people.

Jo writes her songs based on both experiences she’s been through herself, and those which people close to her have been through. Regardless of the inspiration for the song, there’s a relatable feel to her music, which is exactly what she is striving for.

“I want to be able to reach people far and wide and let them know that they’re not alone; that someone out there understands,” Lacy Jo says. She wants to be the artist that followers and fans can relate to on such a level that they see her as a friend.

Her forthcoming album is mainly ballads, raw songs focused on being real, which Lacy wrote based on her own life. Some feature heavy topics, while others highlight happiness, resulting in a varied mix for the listener. She chose to record the instrumental music and vocals live and simultaneously, a testimony to her skill as an artist and a nod to the requirements for the talent she seeks to

use on stage and in the studio. It’s a classic approach to recording where the margin for error is non-existent.

This recording method goes hand-inhand with her beliefs and mindset as an artist.

Lacy Jo, as well as her mentors and vocal coach, Dr. Scott Martin and guitar coach / Producer, Dave Beegle, all believe that as an artist and performer, the opportunity to be an influencer and role model to a large group of people is no light matter. Jo takes her career as an artist seriously, putting her best foot forward. Taking her outlook another step further, she wants to be the best example of a human being she can be.

Listen to her music or talk to her at a show and you’ll see that first hand.

The role-model idea, in part, came from her father’s words of wisdom, a phrase which has stuck with her throughout the years: “Take the risk and walk through the door. Practice every day for what you want.

Don’t be somebody who overprepares and then doesn’t have enough courage to walkthe-walk and take the risk.”

Lacy Jo is taking on more than just her new EP, working on collaborations with other artists, bands and community influencers, while currently building a full-time band.

Once her band is put together, Lacy Jo plans to expand her reach and begin touring in 2020.

Don’t miss Lacy Jo’s live with Smooth Hound Smith at the Moxi Theater in Downtown Greeley on Friday, October 25, 2019.

Ron: Weekdays 6am - 10am 1. Ft. Collins’ Downtown Artery – We’ve heard great artists and held some Colorado Sound Music Meetings here. We’ll miss this wonderful, intimate ‘right downtown’ venue, but look forward to it’s new incarnation.

2. Western Stars film – Bruce just turned 70 and he’s showing no sign of stopping, retirement or even slowing down! There’s a hint at a new E Street album AND TOUR on tap for 2020!

3. Colorado Edition – KUNC’s new 30-min daily show (6:30pm) is a window into life in the Centennial State with news and lighter stories showing why we love living here!

4. Robbie Robertson – A new album (Sinematic), a film about The Band (Once Were Brothers) and an amazing, globally performed Playing For Change treatment of “The Weight” on YouTube. Like Bruce, this guy ain’t slowin’ down at age 76!

5. Denver Art Museum’s Monet Exhibit – A true once in a lifetime chance to see so many masterpieces by this artist in one place. I’ve got tix for right after it opens Oct 21, but they may all already be gone by the time you read this!

Margot: Weekdays 10am - 3pm With the nights shorter and cooler, I made a list of music books for when you’re curled up under a blanket, preferably with a hot beverage. Happy Reading!

1. Country Music: An Illustrated History by Dayton Duncan and Ken Burns – This is the companion book to the PBS documentary Country Music.

2. Can’t Stop Won’t Stop: A History Of The Hip-Hop Generation by Jeff Chang – A thorough history of the roots of hop-hop through the social changes from the early 1970s on.

3. Memphis Rent Party by Robert Gordon – Though this book highlights people from the Memphis music scene (Alex Chilton, Jeff Buckley, etc) it’s more about how the city of Memphis itself influenced the work of so many musicians.

4. William S. Burroughs And The Cult Of Rock And Roll by Casey Rae – The writer William S. Burroughs was on the periphery of big moments in music and this book serves almost as an alternative music history about his time covering music and musicians.

5. 1971 Never A Dull Moment by David Hepworth – The author makes a case it was 1971 and not any other year that was the greatest year in rock music. His point centers on the (now iconic) ’71 releases from the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who, and David Bowie, among others.

Stacy: Weekdays 3pm - 7pm 1. Colorado Avalanche – I love coach Bednar and look forward to a continuation of last season’s momentum! With newly signed forward Valeri Nichushkin, the first full season for Cale Makar and return of Mikko Rantanen, Gabriel Landeskog and Nathan MacKinnon, the Avs should be playoff contenders again!

2. Ford v Ferrari – This film highlights the struggle Ford’s drivers Carroll Shelby and Ken Miles faced trying to outdo the legendary Ferrari 330 P3 in a crazy-short amount of time – allegedly as little as 90 days – at the 1966 Le Mans. Starring Christian Bale and Matt Damon, it opens November 15.

3. Music Meetings – Every month we love spending time with fellow new-music-lovers!

We play samples without telling you the artist, you vote on it and, almost guaranteed, a lively discussion will ensue. Join in the fun: October 10 at Verboten Brewing in Loveland & November 6 at The Post in Boulder.

4. IMAX - Apollo 11: First Steps Edition – Todd Douglas Miller’s Apollo 11 was exclusively edited for IMAX’s giant screen experience.

Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the

Moon landing, it’s a behind the scenes look at of one of humankind’s biggest achievements.

Stunning hidden archive shots, stellar soundtrack. www.dmns.org/visit/imax/ 5. Joan Shelley: Like the River Loves the Sea – A folk tapestry anchored by the native Kentuckian’s angelic voice a la 70’s Laurel Canyon, she addresses the human condition without being overly sappy or saccharine sweet. Weyes Blood and Joni fans take note!

Benji: Weekdays 7pm - 10pm 1. Ken Burns Country Music Documentary Soundtrack – One of Burns’ best films, the soundtrack contains 41 of the best songs too.

If you’re just discovering country, it’s excellent primer: the Carter Family, Hank Williams, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Bob Wills and Dylan are all here.

2. Goo Goo Clusters – Hard to find outside Tennessee, this perfect combo of chocolate, peanuts and caramel is the first candy bar ever made. Sweet successors try to reach the same standard but always fall short.

3. Halloween – The most Rock & Roll of holidays, you can be anything you want!

Dracula? Scooby Doo? Doesn’t matter as long as you’re having fun! We’ll spin 24 hours of non-stop Halloween tunes on air the 31st.

4. DJ Shadow: “Rocket Fuel” – We haven’t heard from Shadow since 2017 but the wait was worth it. With help from De La Soul, this banger propels any party. Shadow goes nuts on the turntables, tipping his hat to Herbie Hancock’s “Rockit,” which no doubt served as inspiration.

5. The Spy: A Netflix Original – I was skeptical of a thriller starring Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat) in a serious role, but this six part-er based on the true story of Eli Cohen infiltrating the Syrian government in the 60’s is an edge-ofyour-seat binge-watch!

REBIRTH BRASS BAND OLD TRADITION, DIFFERENT GROOVE

Keith and Philip Frazier and the other members of the Rebirth Brass Band have to answer two questions every time they play a gig: Are you going to play some traditional stuff?

Are you going to play your own stuff?

The answer, Keith said in an interview for BandWagon, depends on the location. If they’re home in New Orleans, where brass bands play as often as bluegrass bands play in Kentucky, the Rebirth will most likely play its famous hybrid

BY DAN ENGLAND of funk, second line, jazz, hip-hop, soul and marching band brass that got them a Grammy in 2012 for Best Regional Roots Album, the first album to win that category, for Rebirth of New Orleans.

“But if we’re in Wichita, Kansas,

a city that may not understand the tradition of a brass band, we may play ‘When The Saints Go Marching In,’ a tune that they can relate to and understand,” Keith said.

Even today, that’s what it means

itself from the long line of excellent brass bands to come out of New Orleans, Keith said, even if he likes the music they’re producing. Rebirth leans toward a more mellow sound by quieting the trombones just a bit,

“We’re not trying to recreate the wheel. We do like what the new bands are doing, but they are all doing the same thing. We want to do something different.” to be a brass band: That new style may be lost on those unfamiliar with them, and so it’s up to Rebirth to keep the tradition going, even as many consider them one of the most innovative in that tradition’s long history.

The Frazier brothers started the band in 1983, while they marched together in high school. Philip was asked to put a group together for a band booster function. They

using the tuba to play bass lines you might hear in a funk band (courtesy

“A lot of the bands coming up, they are really loud,” Keith said. “We’re not as harsh We almost have more of a concert band set-up.” of Philip) and playing the kind of dirty, soulful tunes such as “HBNS” (that’s “Hot Buck-Naked Sex,” folks) a tune off their album Move Your Body, inspired by a line from Eddie

“We are trying different grooves. It’ll still be Rebirth. But it’s gonna be something different.” were a hit, so they decided to test themselves by playing for tips on the more demanding Bourbon Street circuit. They actually made some money and played occasionally as a hobby — as a summer job, it was

Murphy. The music itself comes from the brothers’ marching band days, which honestly, for them, was as simple as red beans and rice.

“A lot of the bands coming up, they are really loud,” Keith said. “We’re

“If we’re in Wichita, Kansas, a city that may not understand the tradition of a brass band, we may play ‘When The Saints Go Marching In,’ a tune that they can relate to and understand.” better than cutting lawns — until they played at a youth organization called Rebirth. The band, especially snare drum player Derrick Tabb, continues to do a lot of work for organizations that help kids. And that’s all it took.

The band continues to separate

them more of a boost than even the Grammy, although that obviously helped as well.

“That show provoked a LOT of interest,” Keith said. “It’s a very big country, but the bigger cities know who we are now.”

Even so, Rebirth DOES sound like a brass band, and with so many of the newer bands playing hip-hop and other styles that don’t reflect the tradition, the Fraziers continue to feel a responsibility to stoke the flame a bit and make people

not as harsh. We almost have more of a concert band set-up.”

The show Treme, an HBO production created by David Simon, who also did The Wire, helped the general public answer questions about brass bands.

Rebirth appeared on it many times, giving

remember the past, lest it fade into history.

“We’re not trying to recreate the wheel,” Keith said. “We do like what the new bands are doing, but they are all doing the same thing. We want to do something different.”

That means working on a new album that may be drastically different than anything Rebirth’s ever done before. The band put out an album nearly every year since 1984, but it’s been five years since they released Move Your Body.

They’ve been spending that time looking for a new direction, even as they continue to tour and play their own hits as well as traditional songs.

“We are trying different grooves,” Keith said. “It’ll still be Rebirth. But it’s gonna be something different.”

Catch the Grammy winning Rebirth Brass Band on Friday, October 25 at Washington’s in Fort Collins (tickets at washingtonsfoco. com) and Saturday, October 26 at The Gothic Theater in Englewood.

T H E LONE VULF T H E LONE VULF CORY WONG VENTURES OUTSIDE THE PACK

Cory Wong loves playing for Vulfpeck so much that his own album sounds, well, a lot like Vulfpeck. Where other members who recorded solo projects see it as a chance to show another side of themselves, like Theo Katzman’s

business.

However, as much of a beast as Wong is on the guitar (and how catchy his composing and songwriting is) the album isn’t exactly a pedestal of attention for himself. Instead, he collaborated

“[Vulfpeck] encourages everyone to do their own thing. The solo stuff helps the band be better.” melodious yacht rock-esque pop, Wong plays acid-jazz and funk with a goofy touch because, well, that is his true voice. The only difference being that on his latest album, Motivational Music for the Syncopated Soul, he got to call all the shots. “[Vulfpeck] encourages everyone to do their own thing.

The solo stuff helps the band be better,” Wong said in a phone interview for BandWagon.

All the members of Vulfpeck are accomplished solo artists, but instead of egotists, they are just a group of self-aware music nerds excited to play together. They draw from each other’s energy and use it to power their own projects.

You could easily mistake some of Wong’s songs for something

with several well-established musicians: some personal friends he met on the road, and some he met only once after an Instagram follow.

“I would sometimes pick someone based on pre-written material . . . but in some cases it was just because people wanted to hang,” remarked Wong.

That structured process of selflessness manifests in different ways on the album.

On his collaboration with Caleb Hawley, the main ideas written for their track “Limited World,” were workshopped via voice memos. With Emily C. Browning (on “Starting Line”) they had the opportunity to develop an idea over a 3-month period while on tour together.

“I would sometimes pick someone based on pre-written material, but in some cases it was just because people wanted to hang.” out of the Vulfpeck catalog, but Wong values the opportunity to feature himself as a songwriter, singer and guitar player. Like his eponymous 2017 album and two live records, Motivational Music for the Syncopated Soul lets him show off his helicopter hand technique which produces one of the cleanest boogie sounds in the

His perhaps highest-profile collaboration, that with Jon Batiste (band leader for Stay Human, the house band on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) wasn’t entirely intentional, but naturally developed when the two were hanging out one night after the Late Show. Batiste wanted to be involved in Wong’s project, so

Wong flew out to New York, where they recorded “St. Paul” and the soulful, emotional “Home.”

And then sometimes those hangs lead to true spontaneous moments of magic. His collaboration with Tom Misch felt as such. Misch was visiting Los Angeles when he invited Wong over to hang out and see if they could write something.

30 minutes later they had “Cosmic Sans” recorded.

Wong encourages featuring the voices of other artists on the record and emerses them in his writing process too. Often these magic moments are so surreal, he sometimes has to ask himself: “Am I allowed to do this?”

As a response to his own self doubt and disbelief of his current state, he wrote the song “Today I’m Gonna Get Myself a Real Job,” where he mulls over the process of quitting music and

“Am I allowed to do this?” getting a generic job. But really he’s acknowledging, in a playful way, that despite the exhausting grind of being a full-time musician and the negative YouTube comments or discouraging Spotify statistics that come along with putting yourself out there, moments like recording Motivational Music and getting to play with Vulfpeck are what motivates his soul.

Catch Cory Wong Halloween night, Thursday, October 31 at the Aggie Theatre in Fort Collins, as well as Friday, November 1 at the Fox Theater in Boulder, and Saturday November 2 at the Bluebird Theater in Denver. The not-to-be-missed Paris Monster opens each show.

FIRST CLASS There are no controversial names in the Greeley Arts Legacy’s inaugural Hall Of Fame class, but you might have a hard time finding people on the street who would know why Helen Langworthy was inducted.

They would probably have heard her name, given that the University of Northern Colorado named its main theater performance venue after her.

But there aren’t many, if any, left alive who knew her, said Noel Johnston, an Arts Legacy Board member.

Langworthy has been dead for more than 30 years and had no children or spouse. Board members can’t find any living relatives. Langworthy may even be embarrassed at the honor: She allegedly didn’t want a memorial service of any kind at her death.

But she, like the rest of the six who make up the inaugural class, was a stalwart of Greeley’s arts community.

She started the Little Theater of the Rockies, now in its 80th year, and helped make UNC’s theater program one of the most well-regarded in the country. She was brought in as a oneyear replacement by President George Frasier and stayed more than 30 years,

Greeley Arts Legacy’s Hall Of Fame

retiring in 1965.

But Langworthy is not the oldest in the inaugural class. That distinction belongs to the Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra (the oldest continuously operating orchestra west of the Mississippi) but Langworthy was perhaps the one in the most danger of being left behind.

“We do not want to forget what happened,” said Ed Rogers, chairman of the Arts Legacy board as well as the Greeley Arts Commission. “It’s easy to select what we know, but we also want to go back and make sure our past is remembered.”

The Arts Legacy board did just that, honoring Ruth Savig, a visual artist, teacher, actor and musician for decades in Greeley who passed away last year, as well as Langworthy and the Philharmonic. But it also honored more modern shoo-ins such as Howard Skinner, who also has a building named after him at UNC for his work there, who founded the Greeley Chorale and directed the Philharmonic for decades.

Skinner also fulfilled another of the board’s requirements, though this one was less official. “We did want a

couple people who were still alive, to be honest,” Johnston said and laughed.

The Arts Legacy board formed in 2017 to honor those who made significant and lasting contributions to the arts in Greeley. The 10-person board chose the first class after a selection committee narrowed down the 32 nominations from the public to 12 names.

The board also chose two who weren’t artists themselves but contributed greatly to the scene: longtime philanthropist Bob Tointon and Jil Rosentrater. Rosentrater started such events as the Greeley Arts Picnic and the Cinco de Mayo Festival as director of cultural affairs, as well as having pushed for the construction of the Union Colony Civic Center in the 1980’s.

The UCCC, in fact, will host the induction ceremony on October 4 in an event that’s free and open to the public.

The UCCC will also eventually have an outdoor walkway honoring the class as part of some planned renovations of the building.

The board hopes the ceremony draws some attention and attracts

even more ideas for who to honor next year – nominations for the 2020 class opening in later this month.

Rogers said he was pleased with the number of nominations this year, as they produced an excellent inaugural class. But he wants more names from the public next year, including those who may not be as well-remembered as time passes.

“We do not want this to be an elitist type of thing. We will throw biases out the window, Rogers said. “We will look at anything,” he continued, supporting the ideal that famous or humble, today’s Greeley deserves to know the individuals responsible for the breadth of arts history in its legacy.

The Inaugural Greeley Arts Legacy Hall Of Fame induction ceremony is Friday, October 4, in Downtown Greeley. Starting at 6:30pm in the Two Rivers Lounge of the Union Colony Civic Center, it continues at 7pm in the Hensel-Phelps theater. Tickets are free but must be obtained from the UCCC box office at (970) 356-5000 or at greeleyartslegacy.org

The first Arts Legacy Hall Of Fame inductees are (clockwise from top) The Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra, Howard Skinner, Helen Langworthy, Bob Tointon, Ruth Savig and Jil Rosentrater.

NoCo NOSH is your locally owned food delivery service that supports your favorite independent restaurants.

OUR STORY NoCo NOSH started when the national for-profit delivery services became too expensive for restaurants to afford. NoCo NOSH is a partnership of all of the best independent restaurants in the NoCo region that invested to create their own delivery service, which will charge restaurants less than half of what the national services (GrubHub/UberEats/DoorDash) charge. The local independent restaurants not only own the service but also oversee its daily operations.

Please help us keep our community strong.
