Cobraconda BBHM$ Trailer from Pause Sleep Play on Vimeo.

  • InnerPartySystem at the Bluebird Theater is a show you won’t want to miss.  It was supposed to be IPS’s 2nd-to-last show ever.  But since hurricane Irene prevented them from travelling to Denver last week, this rescheduled date may be THE last show.  Denver’s bad-boys of hip-hop Cobraconda are opening and will be premiering their video for BBHM$.  This show had been sold out, but there are a few tickets remaining as a result of refund requests.  Get them fast!  Doors at 8 PM, $25, 16+.
