Intro by the XX has always been an epic introductory song. The beat really builds and brings up the anticipation by the crowd. And while many people have remixed it in their own way to start their sets, no one has remixed it quite as awesome as Savoy. The first time I ever heard their version of Intro was at the Snow Ball Music Festival in Avon, CO this past spring. And that was the first time Savoy brought out their epic LAZERS. And boy what a show that was. But Savoy recently opened up for STS9 at Red Rocks and I just knew that the combo of the amphitheater and the lazers was going to be legendary. So when Savoy opened up their set with Intro, I knew that this show was going to blow everyb
This past weekend, Sound Tribe Sector 9 and all of their fans invaded Red Rocks Amphitheater for two nights. Every year, the Georgia based band brings their guitar, bass, keyboards, drumsets, and of course their laptops to create a unique one of a kind electronic rock show to the beautiful outdoor amphitheater.

North Coast Music Festival. This year was its second year and boy did it grow since last year. Last year tickets were only $75, this year they were $95 and had even more bands. I was so excited to go back this year since I had so much fun at it last year. It is definitely the smallest festival I have ever been to, but it really packs in a bit punch. This year the headliners were David Guetta, STS9, and Bassnectar. Day 1: Friday We started the first day off a little bit late, getting there just in time for Lotus.
