There are a lot of places in Denver that call themselves
music venues because they allow bands to play. And it’s
great that they do exist. But a lot of them aren’t actual
concert venues, they’re bars or restaurants where the
band sets up in a corner of the room after some tables
are pushed aside. So we want to do anything we can to
keep the historic Aztlan Theatre open and functioning,
to support the “concert” experience rather than the
“bar-gig” experience.

The Aztlan Theatre is a historic place in Denver that has
brought lots of happy memories and good times to many
people over the years. When we heard about the situation,
we definitely wanted to be a part of this. An important thing
about being a musician is paying homage and respect to the
places, things, and people that have allowed us to get to the
point that we are at now, and not taking these types of
things for granted. We want people to have a good time, see
some good live music, and to come and support an important
venue in the Denver music scene.

7. Aspen Hourglass
The music scene is a community and the only way for it to
progress is through helping one another out. Aspen
Hourglass was incredibly bummed we had prior
commitments to this event as we believe it is a duty of
musicians to help out local businesses regardless if they
are in trouble or not.

Live music needs venues like The Aztlan Theatre Bar! Not
only are they a part of Colorado Historical Community but
a great venue for bands to perform on a big stage.. it's the
look and feel of the way music should be heard. Save The
Aztlan Theatre Bar and you're saving a part of our culture!

9. Concrete Effect
As musicians, we spend a great amount of time and effort
promoting our art and preaching about keeping the 'scene'
alive. It is our responsibility and moral obligation to
recognize the venues, promoters, etc. who make the
'scene' possible, and should we be called upon to help
those who have believed in our craft and enabled our
creativity, we must rise to the occasion without question
or pause.

10. KUNUNDRUM
As a band that primarily uses our music for activism and to
bring greater awareness to local and global causes we
immediately recognized the importance of being involved in
this mission. After learning about the Aztlan founder's
background in political and community activism, it further
affirmed our natural connection and responsibility to both
our ancestors + future generations. It is critical that we all
help in carrying the vision of pioneers like Aztlan founder
Tim Correa who selflessly fought for decades to provide a
platform and exposure for musicians and creatives like us.

I've seen a few great shows at the Aztlan and played there
once. I feel it's a great venue with alot of potential. It would
sadden me to see it rolled over for another Walmart.

13. Skaia (Las Vegas)
Music venues are the links of a chain, if one link falls then
there's a separation in the framework that is musical
entertainment. Thus we all unite as musicians to keep this
link solid and strong.
