Thursday was a tough night for a jam band to play a show on the Front Range in Colorado. The String Cheese Incident were playing the first of a three night run at the 1^st Bank Center in Broomfield and no doubt sucked up a lot of the potential concert-going hippie crowd.

Mash-up master Gregg Gillis, aka Girl Talk, didn’t give a concert last night at the Ogden Theater in Denver, he threw a party. Complete with balloons, confetti, a machine that blew streams of toilet paper through the air, and his own intricate brand of generations of multi-genre beats, hooks and lyrics blended together, he served up dance party cocktails to an eager, thirsty crowd.
