Itchy-O’s dark allure: 50-member group haunts Denver’s music events

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:23:08 GMT

Pinning down Itchy-O has always been one of the hardest jobs in the Denver music scene, as is describing the 50-member act without shredding a thesaurus.The band’s reputation for raucous concerts — often shocking unsuspecting music fans with elaborate, percussion-driven pop-up shows and occult themes — precedes it. That gives the Denver group a mystique that goes beyond its shadowy, carefully controlled image, and its spot-on Dead Kennedy leader (and part-time Boulder resident) Jello Biafra’s Alternative Tentacles label.Percussion — and dark theatricality — lie at the heart of the 50-member Denver band Itchy-O. (Provided by Itchy-O)For its 10th anniversary, Itchy-O is taking over the Mercury Cafe with its wildly popular Hallowmass performances. As of this writing, the five-night, 10-set run is not yet sold out, with tickets still remaining for the Oct. 31 and Nov. 3-4 dates (including all-ages and 18-and-up options).The shows are “both a san...

Fall colors: Here’s the science behind the reds, golds and oranges

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:23:08 GMT

Winter will be here soon enough, but enjoy those gorgeous fall leaf colors along the Front Range before any snowflakes arrive.Reach back and recall your grade-school days and the simple science behind deciduous tree leaves changing color every fall. If you said it’s a result of shorter days and less sunlight, which allow tree leaves to take a winter break from all that work they do converting water and carbon dioxide into sugars and oxygen (known as photosynthesis), then you pass with flying colors — pun intended!Dried, almost burned-looking outer leaf edges are often caused by the plant’s inability to take up enough water during tough dry summer conditions.  (Betty Cahill, Special to The Denver Post)There are other processes going on as well. It all has to do with leaf pigments.In order for the whole photosynthesis process to happen, leaves require help from chlorophyll, which is what gives leaves their green color. The natural substances that make up leaf cells (pigmen...

Broncos Mailbag: How many players is Denver going to deal before the NFL’s trade deadline?

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:23:08 GMT

Denver Post Broncos writer Parker Gabriel posts his Broncos Mailbag periodically during the offseason. Click here to submit a question.Parker, Greetings from New York’s Finger Lakes. In your estimation, how much selling will the Broncos do at the NFL trade deadline? Who are sure bets to get moved?— Ed Helinski, Auburn, N.Y.Ed, thanks for writing in and getting us started this week! Next time Denver plays away from Empower Field, it will be over in Buffalo, not too far from you.Of course, that game is after the NFL’s trading deadline, which arrives Oct. 31. How much different will the Broncos look then? At 1-5 and with the possibility of a full rebuild looking, Denver is primed to be active – or, if you want to take Sean Payton at his word, at least actively listening. So they could certainly unload several players. But the reality of the situation, of course, is that trading is like tangoing. It takes two, baby.The question, then, is do we think teams are lining up to offer gr...

Endorsement: The Denver Post’s position on Proposition HH

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:23:08 GMT

Editor’s note: This represents the opinion of The Denver Post editorial board, which is separate from the paper’s news operation. The Denver Post is supporting Proposition HH this November as a critical compromise.The ballot question will provide significant relief from the unsustainable property tax increases driven by the skyrocketing inflation in home values while also assuring that our public schools, predominately funded by local property tax, still receive the anticipated and much-needed boost in local revenue.Opponents of Proposition HH have sent out fliers incorrectly claiming that the measure will eliminate TABOR refunds (income tax returns mandated by the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights).In reality, economic forecasts say the ballot measure will reduce TABOR refunds by a small margin, meaning taxpayers will still get back some of what they pay toward Colorado’s (comparatively low) flat-income tax rate of 4.4%. The TABOR refund dollars retained by the stat...
