While many expected to catch the Foo Fighters yesterday and today at Red Rocks, news reached the forefront that the shows were cancelled due to Dave Grohl feeling a bit under the weather. Brit sensations Supergrass were left in limbo as they were supposed to open both shows. Nonetheless the buzz about Supergrass playing an intimate show at Larimer Lounge were swirling around the Mile High all day yesterday. I received confirmation and made plans to attend. One of the best memories of Supergrass for me is listening to "Pumping On Your Stereo" in the heyday of my youth and my admiration for Brit Pop at the time. With their new album Diamond Hoo Ha just released we got a steady dose of all new material and a few noteworthy classics to satisfy our hunger for these Oxford lads. The intimate venue created a perfect setting for the impromptu gig we all witnessed. I'm sure the band members were taken back in time to those very intimate gigs they played back in England when they were first starting up. The show got started with a bang as they opened with "Diamond Hoo Ha Man" followed by a slew of new material before ending things with "Caught By The Fuzz". Many spectators were left in awe of the show and I'm sure would welcome Supergrass back with open arms in the future. More pics here.

The Duke Spirit
THE DUKE SPIRIT ANNOUNCES US SUMMER TOUR
The UK’s captivating indie rock band The Duke Spirit are making their triumphant return to American shores this summer for a string of cross country headlining dates and very special festival appearances. While the Dukes’ said farewell to the states for the month of June to play the UK’s finest summer festivals including Isle of Wight, Glastonbury, and the Wireless Music Festival, the band’s return to the US finds them as commanding as ever with performances at All Points West, multiple Download Festivals, and the New American Music Union Festival as well as a return to NYC to play Webster Hall with friends Supergrass.
When not busy plotting their North American trek, The Duke Spirit has managed to secure the highly coveted TV promo spot for the NBA playoffs featuring Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and The Duke Spirit’s track “Wooden Heart.” These special ads aren’t the only place you’ll catch The Duke Spirit on television this summer – they will be performing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on July 22nd. The band has recently finished the video for “Lassoo” off their sophomore album Neptune, which was released in April 2008 via Shangri-La Music (link below). USA Today’s Edna Gunderson calls the song “a feral yet glam guitar-blitzed stomper.” Another track off Neptune, “The Step and the Walk,” is garnering some well deserved attention, heating up radio waves from Los Angeles to New York to Seattle to San Diego to XM and Sirius.
The UNKLE Remix of the “The Step and the Walk” is available exclusively through iLike at http://www.ilike.com/artist/The+Duke+Spirit.
Don’t miss this chance to catch The Duke Spirit live!
