Holy Crap! The Triple Nickel had a GREAT fucking weekend. Thanks to everyone who came out to help break in the new stage and back room set up. We received sooooo much praise from all the patrons and bands in attendance. We're super excited about the new stage and the great shows we have lined up for this summer.
Once again, I am here to write a ridiculous amount about the upcoming shows we have over here at the Triple Nickel. This week is a two for one, since we have two incredible shows for you in the next two weeks....
First up:
Saturday May 2nd!

Mike Hale is the lead singer of IN THE RED who you may have seen at the Nickel back in Febuary. He's making his return to the Triple Nickel in support of his new Solo album, LIVES LIKE MINE.
Suburban Home Records owner and music marketing guru Virgil Dickerson are conducting an experiment in Music sales. Virgil and the gang have decided to GIVE you folks Mike's new record for FREE. Yes, Free. COMPLETELY FREE. The idea is that by giving away the record for free, you'll be much more inclined to pick up other merchindise, such as limited edition Vinyl, T-shirts, Pint Glasses, ect... and You'll be more likely to give the artist a chance, fall in love with the record and go support these struggling artists LIVE. Its a great experiment and I wish Virigl and Mike the best of luck, but they don't need it. The record is GREAT.
All of you, Download LIVES LIKE MINE now. Its FREE!!! All you have to do is go here: http://liveslikemine.suburbanhomerecords.com/
Its a damned good record and we are supper excited to have Mike Hale back at the Triple Nickel.
Also returning to the Nickel are the almighty NINJA GUN. My absolute favorite edition to Virgil's new roster of amazing bands. These guys played the very first show i worked as "PROMOTER" and I'm super excited to see these guys come back to the Nickel.
Yes they have the world's worst band name, but it is southern fried goodness. The best explaination I can give to you is this: Imagine if the REPLACEMENTS were born in the middle of nowhere Georgia rather than Minneapolis.
As if this show did not need any more awesomeness, we have a band that needs no introduction: ONLY THUNDER Denver's premier Post-Punk / Hardcore / powerhouse. Hot Water Music meets The Lawrence Arms and A Wilhelm Scream meets sex. Good sex, not that crap you had in high school either. Not that i had sex in high school, but i bet it would have been bad. ONLY THUNDER is NOT bad. They are incredible...
And fuckin RJ FLETCHER is playing too!! Damned! Can this show get any more awesome? RJ Fletcher is a Lucero/Drag The River/ John Cougar Mellencamp-esque band from the boys from City of Vanity (and Andy Tanner's Drummer Jonathan.)
RJF played a few weeks back for us here at the Nickel and i was blown away by how smooth and natural these fellars are on stage with one another. You see bands playing their first few shows and they seem awkward and nervous, but then you see these guys and it looks like they've been a band for years... It was hard to believe it was their second show!! Wowzahs!
This show is 21 and up (as always) 9pm and a modest cover charge of $3 bucks. All of which goes to the touring bands. Saturday May 2nd.

Saturday May 9th:
CORY BRANAN.
THE JACK TRADES.
CHAD PRICE.
$7.00
9pm
21 and Up.
Now you're probably reading and asking yourself "$7.00 What the fuck?" Am i Right?
Well Mr. Cory Branan is worth it!
Here are what critics are saying about our friend:
“Ryan Adams. Gillian Welch & David Rawlings. Conor Oberst. Cory Branan. These are names that are thrown around a lot when you are talking about modern day singer-songwriters.” - Twangville
"Intense dynamics, deep humor, brave production and heavy songwriting: A new voice emerges to run with the greats." - Playboy
"There's a new breed of singer-songwriter - Ryan Adams, Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst and now Cory Branan." - Rolling Stone
"Songwriting prodigy gives John Prine a run for the money." – Billboard
“What Paul Westerberg did for sensitive Minnesotans, Cory Branan does for sensitive Southern boys.” – Paste
If that doesn't do it for you, check out this performance of Cory Branan on DAVID LETTERMAN:

Rumor also has it that Cory is in the process of inking a Major Label debut with a little label that will make him label mates with Ryan Adams...
He has a great following amongst our musican friends, and this is Cory's 4th time visiting us at The Triple Nickel. He's toured pretty extensively with Drag The River, Lucero and more. Chances are our friend will be a little too big for us at the Nickel next time he comes through Colorado.... Come see him in our newly remodeled room! Our capacity has also grown from about 100 to about 125... So come! Come check him out!!
And playing with him and needing no introductions are the always incredible THE JACK TRADES as well as CHAD PRICE, occasional lead singer for ALL and co-singer of DRAG THE RIVER.
So after all this, are you still asking if $7.00 is too much a price to pay? If this show was at the Black Sheep, chances are it would be more like a $12 cover for all this awesomeness... Instead you can come enjoy it at our place for $7.00 and enjoy $5.50 pitchers of PBR and $2 pints....
