25 Boulder Bike Ride Challenge: A Grueling Guide for First Timers

3 weeks ago | westword.com | Adam Perry

A few years ago, after believing I had completed every notable climb in the Boulder area — admittedly climbing them slowly because, well, I’m slow — I discovered a poster made by local artist Zach Lee for Simple Cycling Maps, featuring 25 Boulder-area climbs and elevation and gradient details for each. The poster listed a bunch of climbs I knew well, including Ward and Flagstaff and Magnolia — and a few hidden gems I was stunned to learn about, including Logan Mill, Deer Trail and Raymond.

The Spirit of Punk Rock Is Alive in Denver's Jesus Christ Taxi Driver

Apr 17, 2024 | westword.com | Adam Perry

At a recent show at the Crypt in Denver opening for Fast Eddy, Ian Ehrhart – frontman for the punk-rock band Jesus Christ Taxi Driver – leaped off the stage to do his best Chuck Berry duck walk in the middle of the crowd before his band’s first song was even halfway over. Ehrhart’s wild stage presence, influenced greatly by the late, great Cramps singer Lux Interior, is a charming and electrifying habit, but it’s also inspired by anxiety.
Denver Musician Arj Narayan Clobbers His Drums...and Cancer

Mar 25, 2024 | westword.com | Adam Perry

From the sound of Fast Eddy's music, which falls somewhere between hard-driving metal and the swaggering ’70s rock of the New York Dolls, you would think the brash Denver band must have gotten its name from the late, great Motörhead guitarist “Fast” Eddie Clarke. However, Fast Eddy drummer Arj Narayan, an Albuquerque native firmly planted in Colorado since transferring to Fairview High School as a teenager, paints a more colorful picture of the moniker's origin.

Boulder Blues Legend Otis Taylor to Make Rare Appearance at Dazzle

Dec 21, 2023 | westword.com | Adam Perry

Colorado bluesman Otis Taylor, a Chicago native, remembers being at the Rolling Stones’ legendary Hyde Park concert in London back in 1969, but it wasn’t the music he found particularly interesting. “I didn’t care — I was just chasing girls at the time. I was just doing my miniskirt tour," he admits. "I didn’t really care that the Rolling Stones were on stage.
Anarchy in the Mile High: UK Punk-Rock Legends Subhumans Play the Oriental

Nov 3, 2023 | westword.com | Adam Perry

Punk-rock stalwart Subhumans burst out of England more than forty years ago, with angry, intelligent socio-political anthems such as “Parasites” and “Religious Wars.” And while fans of hardcore punk might believe Subhumans emerged fully formed from a Wiltshire sewer, singer Dick Lucas (who also fronts Citizen Fish and Culture Shock) says he was actually into Black Sabbath, Frank Zappa and even (gasp) David Bowie, before punk-rock group Crass blew his mind in 1977.
