Houses are on fire
Denver-based Houses is only a little over a year old, and has already achieved the exalted status of local darlings. What’s the secret? Is it because the band, fronted by married couple Andy and Kinsey Hamilton, has cornered the classic-rock/hippie-chic market in Denver with their long hair, tight jeans, flowery dresses, and whimsy psychedelic jams? Is it because they’re almost a super-group, boasting members of Widowers, Blue Million Miles, Pawn Ticket Trio, and others among their ranks? Is it their multiple appearances at the Denver Post-sponsored Underground Music Showcase, or their string of sold-out Hi-Dive shows? Or maybe it’s not a secret at all: People just dig the music and the consistently energetic live show. (But it’s probably also the hair.) And, in time for your weekend pool party, Houses are set to release their latest seasonally themed EP, Summer, tonight, Aug. 7, at the Meadowlark with Snake Rattle Rattle Snake and Joseph Pope III.
