So Cardinal decided to start off our blog discussing his cello lessons...in a brief sentence. A lot has changed in our lives since January when that first blog was posted and he was at the beginning stages of playing the cello, and we were at the beginning stages of wanting to book shows together. Our vision for our company, 43rd Street Zoo Presents has developed into a reality of how to bring together the people of two different music scenes, and to expose people to music they might not otherwise consider listening to. Cardinal, whose real name is Kevin Carlberg, is from the drum and bass/techno scene, and I have my roots in punk and rock. We cross-promote across the two scenes, and have begun building a community around this concept at different venues around Denver, including the famous Lion's Lair on Colfax Ave., and warehouses such as the Denver Creative Co-Operative Studios (DCCS) at 4th and Lincoln. Our first official show was Globally Dead this past July at DCCS. This was the definitive anti-after party to the annual Global Dance Party at Red Rocks.
We threw a rockin' Globally Dead party - we had over 250 people through the door with over ten dj's playing til dawn. I wish my photo documentation of the night was better, but I was busy making sure the adult beverage department was running smoothly, so I didn't have a lot of time for photography.
Thanks to our friends who helped us get that party rockin'. Kayla, Panda, Chase, Eli, Jason...it wouldn't have been possible without all of you!!!!
Here's Panda behind the bar...serving our friend Beekay.
