Denver alt-rock band
Radio Fluke has been rocking the Front Range since 2018, but its members feel like they’ve finally arrived with the dream Colorado gig: playing Red Rocks. After winning the
Sundown Throwdown, sponsored by
Colorado Native beer, Red Rocks Amphitheatre and
Denver Film, the band will bring its funky, eclectic, blues-influenced rock and roll to Red Rocks on Monday, August 19, as the opener for the popular Film on the Rocks series, featuring 2015's post-apocalyptic classic Mad Max: Fury Road.On August 14, the band dropped its second of three singles this summer, leading up to an LP release in November.
“Fade Away” follows the June release of
“Blue Light,” and if these tunes are any indication, Radio Fluke’s fourth studio album is not to be missed.
“Fade Away” played a key role in securing the Red Rocks gig. Radio Fluke's initial submission was a
live version of the song from a February show at the
Oriental Theater, for local band
Tireshoe’s EP-release party. It’s not surprising the song won Radio Fluke a chance to play in the Throwdown: The band's live show is a groove, and "Fade Away" has a broad range, starting on a pensive guitar hook that pulls you in, then throttles up with power guitar chords. The single’s revved-up, slowed-down tempo is both engaging and thoughtful.
