FREE performance by B. SUE in Henderson’s Lounge from 9:15 – 9:45pm on Friday April 27th!

Plays Friday & Saturday, April 27 & 28 at the Denver FilmCenter
35mm presentation - He’s France’s top agent, Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath (the fabulous Jean Dujardin), better known as OSS 117, agent double-one-seven (or “one seventeen” as he would have it). Suave yet clueless, a cross between James Bond and Austin Powers, OSS 117 is back for another mission, following his smash debut in OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies. Dispatched to Rio to purchase an incriminating microfilm containing the names of French WWII collaborators from a Nazi in hiding (Rüdiger Vogler), he teams up with a beautiful Mossad colonel (Louise Monot)—after first mistaking her for the secretary—whose mini skirt and kinky boots disguise dangerously forward-thinking views on women’s lib and world politics. Along the way they encounter the Nazi’s hippie son Heinrich, a C.I.A. agent named Trumendous, and a man-eating alligator. Masked Mexican wrestler bodyguards, not to mention pesky Chinese hitmen after agent 117 for a past grievance, make matters irksome. Lost in Rio culminates in a North By Northwest-meets-Vertigo sequence on Rio’s famous Christ the Redeemer statue overlooking the city that you won’t want to miss!

B.Sue + Beats Noir= Infectious Beats and Smiles at Rooster and Moon!

Caffeine, alcohol and music lovers alike are uniting for a night of no work and all play when Golden Triangle hot spot The Rooster and Moon hosts a music show—featuring Golden Triangle business owner Brandi Shigley with her band, B.Sue, and longtime friend JT Nolan‘s band, Beats Noir. This musical combination of infectious beats and smiles happens Saturday, April 7. All ages are welcome to show up at 7 p.m., when the doors open, for the 8 o’clock show for only $5.

“Dull” will definitely not be a descriptor for the evening, as the bands bring a fun and personality to the coffee/pub. The joint will offer an intimate setting to hear some of Denver’s sweetest sounds and interact with the musicians. “The Rooster and Moon has always supported my creative endeavors and when Nate asked if I wanted to play “I said HECK YES!” says Brandi.

“I saw an opportunity to bring music to the community space that Rooster and Moon has become. The Golden Triangle deserves a venue where Denver’s songwriters and artists can come together and do what they do best.” says Nate Meese, barista at Rooster and Moon, formerly of the band, Meese, and currently of the band, The Centennial.

Brandi will be bringing along her longtime friend (and guitar teacher) JT Nolan and his music project Beats Noir, which was nominated into the finals of KTCL’s 93.3 2011 Hometown for the Holidays for their first single “Castaways” and ended the year with a sold out NYE show at Dazzle Jazz Club.

“It is an honor to play with my longtime friend B. Diddy,” says JT.

B. Sue is going to keep things interesting, as always, by switching it up and playing a Casio Keytar and debuting Brandi’s guitar skills (which, admittedly, are a work-in-progress). She’ll also be covering a couple punk classics added to her repertoire of happy-poppy-indie-rock. The DJ is none other than Beats Noir’s own drummer Dave Miller, aka “The Orchid Set.”

B.Sue has been around for about 4 years, and is Brandi’s way “of getting the musical side out of me. It’s a nice break from thinking about entrepreneurial endeavors,” she says. Fun fact: B.Sue doubles as Brandi’s name, Brandi Sue, and the French word meaning “to kiss,” bisous.

To hear Brandi, JT, and more creative and funky local bands, stop by The Rooster and Moon on April 7 at 7 p.m. to treat your ears and get your groove on!

Wires crossed

November 7, 2011

Tonight I wanted to work on music and just could not figure out how to set up my M-Audio and condensor mic and get everything working right. Instead of getting frusterated, I’m just going to be patient and have a pro help me get my home studio set up. Sometimes I just want to figure [...]

B.Sue Jazz hands…

October 31, 2011

Tonight I am inspired to get the band to play nothing but the jazz classics.  Jazz is one of my most influential genres of music with one of my heros being Bix Beiderbecke.  I once memorized how to play his solo in “Singin’ the Blues” on my clarinet and played it at his grave in [...]

Inspirations: Brenda Lee

October 25, 2011

I’m such a big fan of music from the 1940′s and 50′s. When I was listening to Pandora, this song came up and it reminded me how this era in simplicity of music is just so beautiful.  There is so much soul.  I also feel like this style of music is in my tone as [...]

My ShigLab 5000

October 17, 2011

This weekend, I spent a lot of time organizing our home and spending time in my music zone. As I was organizing all of my instruments, it dawned on me that I’ve really been neglecting music making!  I seem to go in spurts with making music and I suppose that maybe life has been a [...]

Music triggers a memory…

September 28, 2011

I remember being 10 or 11 and I was grounded and not allowed to go to Skate City for the school party. I was furious. That night, my dad would play his old 45′s for me while I skated around and around and around our basement. It was better than any skate party at Skate [...]
