The glitchy goodness was alive and well last weekend here in Denver as local Unlimited Gravity opened for VibeSquad at Cervante’s Masterpiece Ballroom on Friday August 21st. Still amped up from his performance at Arise Music Festival in Loveland earlier in the month, the Colorowdy vibe was already thick as Weberg’s time slot crept up slowly. […]
