Colorado-based multi-instrumentalist, Bones, has discovered a way to bring his vast knowledge of world music and his drumming talents to hundreds of schoolchildren of all ages throughout the Rocky Mountain region.

First introduced at the Ken Caryl Middle School in Denver in 2005, his music program involves a wide variety of drumming demonstrations, video accompaniment and advanced looping technology that allows him to multi-track and dub in real time while he is performing.

For the past four years, the Boulder record label Adventure Records has released a vibrant collection of local music.  This year's release marks the label's fifth year, and they've assembled another eclectic roster of bands and singer-songwriters.  The CD will be released August 15th at the release party at the Hi-Dive featuring the Swayback, , Three Cheers Faraday, John Common, Goodbye Champion and Kissing Party.

By way of introduction, we're profiling all the bands on this year's volume.  Some of the names may be familiar to you, but if they are't, be prepared for a big boost in your indie cred (which, unfortunately, might not be as cool as actual street cred).  Welcome to Part III of Get To Know Your Local Band.

The Colorado electronic music scene is blossoming with the help of Sonic Bloom, the state’s major electronic music festival, which just completed its third year in Winter Park, this past June.

The event brought some of the nation’s most respected electronic musicians to the Rocky Mountains, as well as some local underground favorites.

Even the name invokes images of pre-punk London: Lipgloss. It rolls off the tongue, in all its glamorous grunge, pulsating with an electric attitude that sums up the scene perfectly. What is Lipgloss? It’s not a bar, or a club – it’s a night. A freaker’s ball with DJs that keep it hot and drink specials that keep it affordable for the counterculture socialites. It happens every Friday in La Rumba, a salsa club turned weekly post-modern rave party.
