Holden Young Trio

The Holden Young Trio (HY3) is a fresh and funky power-trio out of Colorado. With influences from Fela Kuti, James Brown, Wayne Krantz, Bob Marley and the Red Hot Chili Peppers the HY3 sound "captivates listeners and propels dancers".

Growing up in Maine, Holden fished with his father and learned music through his mother's collection of 60's music. Both musically inclined at one point only to have turned to fishing and psychology this contrast is reflected in Holden's unique guitar style and songwriting. He writes, "She was peace walkin' for Vietnam, my father rode the water a fisherman; in the Navy its so crazy that they ever made me." in his song "Love On".

Holden went on to master his skills in Boston at Berklee College of Music and also in Nashville's glitter and glam; where he recorded his first album in 2005, Not Much & Everything. Now residing in Colorado with 15 years of guitar study and 8 years studying piano and world rhythms, Holden is receiving great enthusiasm from the mountain area and is consistently expanding his touring circuit.

Holden's trio includes New Orleans original Billy Franklin on bass and New York native Eric Rolls on drums. After playing for the past year they are recording Holden's anticipated second album and developing their funky live show even more.

Six Months to Live!

Denver's Six Months to Live rock the Kabaret to preview their new release "A Better Place", and the CD release show on April 12th at Three Kings Tavern.

"With influences that range from the British Invasion to New Wave and modern Indie Rock, Six Months to Live forge... a modern psychosocial amalgam that includes harmonic surprises, time changes, and bridges that never return to the verse, but will instead launch into a crescendo coda. Their lyrics range from brilliant articulations of heartbreak to quirky hallucinogenic wordcraft. With dynamic arrangements that build tension over the whole affair, Six Months to Live often seem like they are balanced precariously over a pit of destruction. And yet, at the conclusion of a show, the audience inevitably has the wide-eyed look of those who have undergone an intensive--and remarkably affordable--session of group therapy."
--An especially astute paragraph by Enfuse Magazine April 2007

Clay Rose / Gasoline Lollipops

Clay Rose was born under candle light on the high planes of Colorado. Rain and his mother’s heart gave him rhythm. His father’s eyes gave him blue. Clay’s affinity for highways and eclectic personalities has kept him in good supply for material. He lives in a passing blur of state lines and mileage markers, the only things that link him to reality. He molds language into landscapes and sculpts a home out of heartache.

Legend has it that the coming together of the four dispicably lowdown, no good, Gasoline Lolli-Pops was destined by the dark lord himself. They met in a rusty jail cell outside of Texarkana. Clay "Stretch" Rose had alegedly been selling 150 proof without a licence, Johnny "Machine Gun" Mouser had been found guilty of making a withdrawl without an account, Jeb "The Horse" Bows for sober disorderly, and Daryl "Dead Eye" Reding was just plain mean. They say that when the four of those diabolicly, devilish, dukes of Dixie struck their first chord down in that hillbilly hell, it shook the pearly gates right off their hinges. Since then, they've been blazin' a trail across the states, the likes of which have never been seen. If you catch wind of 'em in your neck of the woods, you'd do well to lock up the kiddies and hide away your bowling trophies if you know what's good for ya. Shoot, Texarkana ain't even on the map no more.
