Alternative Showcase in Colorado
Find alternative showcases in Colorado. Guitar-driven music that grew out of the underground, mixing pop hooks with rougher textures and a deliberately off-center attitude that resists mainstream polish.
Julian St. Nightmare at Blucifer's First Rodeo (Hi-Dive)
📅 Jul 25, 2026, 11:00 PM
📍 Hi-Dive, 7 South Broadway, Denver, CO
Julian St. Nightmare returns to Hi-Dive as a three-piece for their slot at Blucifer's First Rodeo, a multi-day festival running July 23-26, 2026. The band has been a fixture in Denver's post-punk DIY scene for years, playing Hi-Dive repeatedly and building a following that turns up for crowd-surfing, noise, and late-night energy. Their 11pm set on the 25th comes with new material the band is debuting, making this a meaningful moment in their ongoing run at one of the Baker neighborhood's most respected independent venues. Hi-Dive, located at 7 South Broadway, has been the setting for some of JSN's most-talked-about shows in the local scene.
