The Mile High Horror Film Festival is excited to host the second annual Mile High Horror Music Showcase this coming October! The dates and location will be announced soon!

Here is our 2011 Horror Music Showcase lineup, which was held at Bar Bar (aka Carioca Cafe) on October 7th, 2011:

Marty Lindsey: Blues driven with pop-rock-hook laden melodies, Marty’s music has subtle hints of Ben Harper, Shawn Mullins and G. Love.  Marty has played in notable venues, such as Los Angeles’ Ghengis Cohen, The Rainbow Room, and Molly Malones, as well as Denver’s Paris Wine Bar, The Walnut Room and Mead Street Station.  He has also performed at Underground Music Showcase and the Singer-songwriter Showcase in Winter Park, CO.

Pythian Whispers: Pythian Whispers is an experimental music project that doesn't try to be anything in particular. Instead, the band weaves together elements of noise, drone, ambient, atmospheric guitar rock and post-punk.  Making use of bent circuit devices, samples, loops, sequencers, guitar, bass, synths and drums, Pythian Whispers creates a rich tapestry of noise that comes off part art house horror movie soundtrack and part otherworldly sound collage. Their aim is to create music that soothes, inspires, terrifies and otherwise stimulates the imagination of the audience past the realm of the everyday and mundane.

The Kevin Costner Suicide Pact: The Kevin Costner Suicide Pact explores the realms of the locally unknown and the cosmic familiar. “End Weekend”, their self released first album, stems from obsessions with blindfolded exploration into the auditory out-lands and inner workings of the self. Focused on delay and loop, layers upon layers of mind and face melting ohms coalesce to create songs that are both pensive and impulsive.  The core of the Kevin Costner Suicide Pact consists of members from sister band, Fellow Citizens, a Denver based post-rock collective.

In The Whale: Often described as an angry cousin of The White Stripes, this two piece band is turning heads in the Denver music scene with their brand of bluesy indie rock.  For fans of The Black Keys, Queens Of The Stone Age and Cage The Elephant, you will not want to miss this set.

The Flumps: Having referenced the Beatles, Radiohead, Nirvana, Elliot Smith and Tom Waits as influences, The Flumps provide a blend of vivacious melody, coupled with heavy set harmonies and heartfelt chord progressions.  The Flumps, traveling from Florence, CO, have contributed music to two short films, including ‘Woebegone’ and ‘The Nutritional Value of Dreams’.
