Up to Our Ears in Fun!

We’re going to give our Boulder readers heart attacks from all of this local action, but Denver punk music at the Downer is only the top of a killer list of upcoming events. Barely 48 hours after The Swayback heats up Boulder’s favorite dive-bar (seriously, that’s gonna be one sweaty party), Installation Shoe Gallery will open doors on it’s latest show, This Is How We Roll, featuring the work of Jeremy Fish, Lance Mountain, and a magnetic list of other talented artists. The featured pieces will be offered at silent auction to benefit Jeremiah Brooks, an integral member of the Boulder skate scene who was hit by a car earlier this year. Installation has quite a tradition of knocking people’s socks off at every new show, so head over next Saturday (5/5) between 7 and 10 p.m. to take a peek and help Jeremiah recover from his bummer of an accident. I’ll certainly be stopping by, but then I’m off to the Ogden in Denver to catch the mighty Kings of Leon. It looks like there are still tickets available, so if you’ve been missing out on KOL’s dirty glory it may be your time to rock out. The Rapture, Aqualung, and Shiny Toy Guns will be flitting around Colorado that weekend too, so no whining this time, Boulder; get out and play!
