Boulder
It’s worthwhile for Denverites to occasionally traipse up north and learn what makes Boulderites salivate. Happily mixed with college nosh houses on the Hill —including hole-in-the-wall Asian takeout staples, coffeehouses aplenty, and burrito masters like Illegal Pete’s — are high-end, high-profile spots like John’s and Arugula.
It’s a diamond in the expanse of Boulder dining, and yet one largely unknown. The entire property is an ideal draw for a fancy night out, not only because Jill’s is a one-of-a-kind concept, but because it’s a place to spend an entire evening: drinks beforehand at T-Zero Bar, appetizers and music on the patio, and a full meal in the elegant dining room.
The April 5 show at the Boulder Theater was no exception. Tlast night’s show at the Boulder Theater was no exception. The audience was pinned to the floor by these rock mini-symphonies, being pushed and pulled by the weight of the band’s reverb and heavy distortion, coming close to the head-crushing level of sonic power of My Bloody Valentine, then dipping down into beautiful, delicate instrumentation reminiscent of Sigur Ros.
