Clarke’s Concert of the Week — The Strokes at Red Rocks e Strokes are one of the most important bands of this century, and their debut album, “Is is It” radically reshaped the direction of indie and alternative rock. I’ve pretty much loved all the group’s albums in their own way, and even if they don’t have the critical success they used to, they’re still legends that demand attention. e group doesn’t tour often and so the fact that they’re playing Red Rocks , 18300 W. Alameda Parkway in Morrison, at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 14, is a massive deal. Despite the fact they’ve been around for 20 years, they’ve never played the mythical venue before, so this is going to be a special evening. ey’ll be joined by alt-rock vocalist Weyes Blood as the opener. Purchase tickets at www.ticketmaster.com. is juried by artist Christian Dore. He chose 60 works from 400 entries. Show runs Aug.8-Sept. 10.
