For all its noise and fury, The Underground Music Showcase has always been a friendly place.Colorado’s biggest independent music festival, which returns Friday, July 28, through Sunday, July 30, is a feast for live-music fans, with 200 or so bands playing at a dozen indoor and outdoor South Broadway venues over three days and hundreds of shows.But it’s also a community hang and summer reunion that in the past has hosted acts ranging from Denver’s Nathaniel Rateliff and Tennis to indie rock royalty (Real Estate, Blonde Redhead) and trailblazers such as N3PTUNE — a wildly magnetic singer, dancer and rapper who is this year’s buzziest local artist.Casey Berry, left, majority owner of The UMS, with Youth on Record executive director and co-owner Jami Duffy, outside the Hi-Dive at 7 S.

“Forever chemicals” flowing from Suncor into Sand Creek spike as Colorado weighs renewal of key water-quality permit

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 15:27:21 GMT

COMMERCE CITY — Along the Sand Creek Regional Greenway outside the Suncor Energy oil refinery, a single pipe spills water over a rock pile into Sand Creek, where it ripples and swirls before flowing through the stream toward the South Platte River.Egrets fly past looking for their next meal as butterflies flit over the brushy banks. If you’re not looking for it, the pipe is easy to miss underneath the vines and branches draping over its edges.But more than 1,000 gallons of water a day flow from that pipe — known officially as Outfall 20 — and mixed in that water are poisonous chemicals that pour downstream to where Sand Creek merges with the South Platte River, the source of drinking water for hundreds of thousands of people in Colorado and an important supply for agriculture in the northeastern part of the state.There are 10 locations around Suncor’s 3.4-mile perimeter in Commerce City where wastewater and stormwater are released into the community, bu...

Disney’s new “Haunted Ride” film adaptation fails to move the spirit

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 15:27:21 GMT

Perhaps in 2043, Disney will make a top-notch movie based on its Haunted Mansion theme park ride.Powered by a typically engaging performance by its star, Eddie Murphy, 2003’s “The Haunted Mansion” performed pretty well at the box office, but it is a rather meandering affair.The second “Haunted Mansion” — in theaters this week, a few months shy of 20 years later — weaves a mostly different tale but is a similarly slightly scary-meets-family-friendly romp boasting a highly appealing ensemble led by Rosario Dawson, LaKeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish and Owen Wilson.It’s also similarly ho-hum.That’s disappointing given not only its cast — which also features Danny DeVito, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Jared Leto — but also its flavorful New Orleans setting and its director, Justin Simien, who wrote and directed 2014’s “Dear White People,” as well as episodes of the TV series of the same name.Things start out well enough, with our introduction to Ben (Stanfield), an astrophysicist, w...

Denver has issued more than 7,800 residential rental property licenses, making it the top business license type in the city and county.The number of residential rental property licenses now surpasses the No. 2 license type, which is for security guards at around 7,700. The rest of the top five includes licenses for short-term rentals at 2,800, for retail food establishments at almost 2,500, and for combined – “addresses that have multiple licenses at one location,” like a hotel – at 1,800.“It demonstrates that we’re making a lot of progress in this overall city effort to raise the minimal housing standards across Denver with this new licensing requirement,” said Eric Escudero, spokesperson for the Denver Department of Excise and License.Unlike a lot of other Colorado cities, Denver doesn’t mandate that all businesses obtain licenses – typically just those with health, safety and welfare concerns. For example, bookstores and dress shops aren’...
