Illegal Petes Music

Show of the Week: 6/2/12 The Whicker and Pine and Indigenous Robot at Illegal Pete’s DU

Like the name suggests, The Whicker and Pine are rustic and bare-bones, crafted from analog sensitivity and earthy melodies. We are excited to have them playing our DU location this Saturday along with Indigenous Robot. 

The Whicker and Pine, fronted by singer-songwriter Jon Johnson, a Seattle transplant, craft blissed-out Americana music in the tradition of Rocky Votaloto and Baywood. 

Openers Indigenous Robot approach songwriting from a more digital angle, making psychedelic based rock and roll relying heavy on distorted guitars and synthesizers.  

This show is FREE and begins at 9pm! Won’t you join us?

Show of the Week: 5/26/12 Flashbulb Fires and Guest at Illegal Pete’s DU

We are very excited to have Flashbulb Fires as the latest band to take part in our Illegal Pete’s tour. The band will be playing three of our locations - DU, Pearl St. and Downtown -  and we highly suggest you make it to as many of these as you can. 

The shows are as follows; 

5/26/12 Flashbulb Fires and Guest at Illegal Pete’s DU (FREE, Starts at 9pm)

6/1/12 Flashbulb Fires and Guest at Illegal Pete’s Pearl St (Boulder) (FREE, Starts at 9pm)

6/2/12 Flashbulb Fires and Guest at Illegal Pete’s Downtown (FREE, Starts at 9pm)

Flashbulb Fires’ current album, Gasconder, is an exhibition in rich, orchestral melodies with an indie-rock sensibility. Touching on similar themes as their last album, Glory, the band explores personal isolation and religious guilt using snyth, soaring guitar tones and creative rhythms that makes the band challenging yet catchy. 

With a relentless tour schedule, (other than the rigorous one we currently have them on) a tireless work ethic and a unique and engaging sound, Flashbulb fires are a band with limitless potential and we hope we have more opportunities to help them out along their journey.
