The melodrama of DeVotchKa performing in the opulent Paramount Theatre on Valentine’s Day crafted a romantic trifecta. One of Denver’s highest-climbing indie bands pulled out all the stops, including a Cirque de Soleil-like sideshow of scantily clad young women scaling red sashes for some sexy aerial dancing.

After a successful, experimental show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre last year that led to a live album, DeVotchKa and Colorado Symphony Orchestra, return as a pair to the mountain amphitheater this year.

Happy Monday, thieves. This week we’ve got neo-folk from Jesse Manley and moody folk from Catch Bees – all for the basement floor price of free.

Today, according to history’s most credible doomsday theorists, the Mayans, is the end of the world. Dec. 21, 2012 is the day that the Mayan calendar ends, which obviously means the ancient civilization predicted the end of the world, and didn’t just eventually find it pointless to make a calendar that went like 5,000 years into the future.

DeVotchKa and the Colorado Symphony Orchestra may have seemed like an unlikely musical match just a year ago, but their indie-meets-institution collaboration produced two solid concerts in 2012, one at Boettcher Concert Hall last February and another at Red Rocks in September. Next up: The album “DeVotchKa Live with the Colorado Symphony” due Tuesday.

You’ll hear it everywhere: This is the season of giving. But around here, we are bigger fans of taking. Today, we’ve got two Colorado tracks for you to take under the cloak of morning. Check out progressive country from The Broken Spoke and garage rock from Dirty Few.
