For as long as there has been a rock ’n’ roll, there have been secret shows. Hell, longer even. And there’s something about being in on the secret that makes the experience all the more special. See: West Colfax Avenue auto shop last year.
As fun a secret shows are, itap equally fun to tell everybody about the “secret.” And thatap what Denver songwriter did this afternoon on his Facebook page.
“Hello, Friends. will be playing a short set at Friday 9:30,” Rateliff wrote.
Short and simple. At 9:30 p.m. Friday night, at hipster haven Lost Lake (3602 E. Colfax Ave.), Rateliff’s old band, which recently reunited, will play a couple songs – or more, if Rateliff, Joseph Pope III and are feeling it.
The announcement makes sense of an odd Facebook post from earlier in the week by Rateliff’s manager, Bart Dahl: “want to know a secret? too bad, I can’t TELL. but I’ll give you a tip: come out to the Lost Lake Lounge on FRIDAY night…. If’n you don’t know, Lost Lake is at: 3602 E. Colfax Blvd. Trust me. It’s not just Another Night, Another Place. Don’t fall down running getting there. take your time.”
See you there, Bart.
