Bassnectar

Colorado After Parties, presented by Rocky Mountain Entertainment, is a special run of late night concerts from Thursday July 30 – Saturday August 1, 2009, featuring Bassnectar, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, Conspirator, The Motet performs the music of Talking Heads, Savoy and Lazer Sword. This exceptional collection of talent hits the stage following Phish‘s performances at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on those same dates. These shows will go late, and while there will be no alcohol served after 2 a.m., the music will continue until at least 4 a.m.

The party kicks off on Thursday July 30 at Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom, with electronic sensations Savoy and friends. Savoy is known for high-energy live sets, and their multimedia-oriented shows are exactly what today’s global dance culture is looking for. Also on the bill are West Coast buzz act Lazer Sword, and the return of New Zealand’s Pitch Black. Local up & comers Passage Project and DJ Jack Flash will round out the full night of music.

On Friday July 30, RME will present three after parties across the Front Range. Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe will bring their dynamic brand of energizing funk to the Gothic Theatre for two nights: on Friday July 31 with special guests DJ Mike Relm and DJ Rootz and on Saturday August 1 with special guests the Marco Benevento Trio and DJ Rootz. At the same time across town, The Motet bring their talent and energy to the stage in a rare tribute to the art rock of Talking Heads at Cervantes’ Friday July 31. This is a rare treat for Talking Heads fans, and previous performances have sold out quickly. DJ Click One will support and keep the vibes going all evening. And in Boulder, Bassnectar returns to Colorado for a special 18+ show on Friday July 31 at the Boulder Theater, with special guests Daedelus and Mr. Projectile. Bassnectar has been consuming audiences worldwide with a collision of wobbling, perverted bass lines, hypnotic hide-and-seek adventures, and pretty much anything that strikes his fancy.

Finally, on Saturday August 1, Conspirator, a live electronic phenomenon featuring Marc Brownstein and Aron Magner of The Disco Biscuits, will play Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom, with special guests David Murphy (STS9) and ‘Lil Lane (Pnuma Trio). Also on the bill are Break Science ft Adam Deitch and the Passage Project.

Pakistan vows to act on terrorism

Logo for the NAM in Egypt

Heads of state from more than 50 countries are attending meetings of the Non-Aligned Movement, set to open in Egypt.

The gathering, in the resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, is discussing responses to the global financial crisis and a variety of regional issues.

The Pakistani and Indian prime ministers are also expected to meet to discuss possible new peace talks.

Relations were badly strained by the militant attacks in Mumbai last year.

Pakistani and Indian officials have already met in advance of the planned talks on Thursday between the two prime ministers, Yousef Raza Galani and Manmohan Singh.

The attacks in Mumbai last November left more than 160 people dead, and were blamed by India on Pakistan-based fighters of the banned militant group, Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Pakistan has admitted the attacks were partly planned on its soil.

‘Struggle to find role’

The Non-Aligned Movement was born during the Cold War in 1961, aiming to unite countries which officially expressed the wish not to be allied either with the US-led western bloc or the Soviet-dominated eastern bloc.

It now has 118 member states, with 15 observer states, representing two-thirds of the members of the United Nations and half of the world’s population.

But correspondents say it has struggled to find a role since the collapse of the Soviet bloc two decades ago. </p

hearty thumbs from astronaut Dave Wolf. Whatever the reason, the space shuttle
Endeavour’s seven-person crew put a month of bad luck behind them July 15,
blasting off for a 16-day construction mission to the International Spac…
