PICK OF THE WEEK: Hello Kavita - Saturday, April 5th - The Larimer Lounge, Denver, CO

Why You Should Go: You want to be able to say that you attended their first CD release party right here in Denver when your buddy from New York calls you up and tells you about this great new band, Hello Kavita, that he found, don't you???

Seriously, these guys hail from right here in Denver and their debut album, And Then We Turned Sideways, has all the makings of a great record. Strong songwriting, beautiful instrumentation, and solid soulful vocals. Frontman and bandleader Corey Teruya seems to have snuck a peak at Jeff Tweedy's blueprint for Wilco while also owing a healthy debt to the beautifully ragged alt-country that Neil Young was cranking out in the 70's.

From beginning to end this album is well worth the 45 minutes you will invest in it. Whether you find yourself grooving to the America-like shuffle of "Midnight Sound" or shedding a tear in your beer as Teruya touches your soul with the ballad "Disappear," you'll be happy you did.

Catch these guys in the wonderfully dingy confines of the Larimer Lounge before they get scooped up by Ryan Adams or Wilco as an opener on the shed circuit.
