OHGR @ THE BLUEBIRD THEATER 12/07/11 DENVER-CO

Dark and creepy danceable grooves, massive driving cuts, symphonic strings, buzzing beats, screams and guitar shrieks, horror movie style soundscapes and glassy trance elements are many of the components that OHGR use in their music. Formed in the late 90’s by Ogre of Skinny Puppy and Mark Walk, this electro-industrial band has released excellent albums like “Welt” and “SunnyPsyOp” and their latest “Undeveloped.” Ogre is known as a weird theatrical monster experiment performer on stage, so if you have access to some psychedelics enjoy the night. 

Also playing: Left Spine Down – cyberpunks from Vancouver and Orbit Service – psychedelic electronic rock from Denver.

CHEMLAB @ HI-DIVE 5/28/10 DENVER-CO

With a vast catalog of songs like “Codeine, Glue and You,” “Jesus Christ Porno Star” and “Chemical Halo”  this is a show not to be missed.
