H2Awesome!“pure punk rock goodness” – Comic Geek Speak
Straight out of the NYC comedy community (Upright Citizens Brigade, the Groundlings) H2Awesome! cut their comedy teeth with such notables as Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Adam McKay, Rob Riggle and others. Recently nominated for a Geekie award for their freshmen release, Zero Charisma, the 5 piece nerd-rock outfit celebrates pop culture through the lens of punk-rock anthems, well-crafted humor and over the top stage antics for a one-of-a-kind musical experience that you have to see to believe. Their first LP was released in 2013 and is available on iTunes and Bandcamp.
Total Ghost
Despite their roots as a fake internet band, Total Ghost has quickly become a very real band that hails from Denver, Colorado and performs under the fictional guise of German electrokraut pioneers. The comical nature of the two, Chön and Biktor and their dance music, powered by jumpy synths, marching bass kicks, and classic builds is threaded with comical call and response lyrics. Their first video, “Custom Birthday” gained over 55,000 views within six months of its YouTube release and their fourth music video, “Tour Life” was featured at the Festivus Film Festival, where it won the “Best Music Video” award. It’s music that rockets beyond its gimmick, and into the stratosphere of a giant space party (with lightning)!
Magic Cyclops
Magic Cyclops is a strange, funny and occasionally offensive rock 'n' roll character who is most well known for his raucous appearance on American Idol. He has DJ'd parties and clubs throughout Denver, competed in air guitar competitions all over the U.S. and made music — with the ‘almost-hit’ Unicorns in Space.
Daenerys and the Targaryens
Daenerys and the Targaryens come all the way to Denver from Westeros and the 7 Kingdoms where the Mother of Dragons will be burning up the stage. They are the first (and so far, only) Game of Thrones Punk Rock Band Experience that we know of and are sure to burst into dragon flames in our corporeal realm.
