For those who have been interested in seeing me DJ live (and, to my everlovin' shock, there actually ARE some of you), I'm excited to announce that I've got not one, but TWO live DJ gigs coming up in the month of October. You might want to make sure you read what type of music I'm playing at each event, because I don't want to drag you out to these events with you expecting to hear something you're not gonna.
The first night is Thursday, October 13th at the Meadowlark Bar, 27th & Larimer in Denver. I'm supposed to be exchanging sets with a band, but I haven't heard which band it'll be at this point. At this gig, I'll be playing what I have (rather lamely) termed FORTY-FIVE. These are instrumentals on 7" singles, all from the period 1955-1975. You'll hear soul, funk, rock and jazz all thrown in the mix. It's not really for dancing per se, although there will certainly be some numbers you can dance to if the spirit moves you. Instead, I've geared it to be great music to "hang out to". I'm hoping you'll bring some friends along, have some drinks, chat, and just enjoy the music. I've tried out this genre on a couple private parties, but this will be the debut in a public place, so I hope you can make it out and enjoy it.
The next event will be a fundraiser gig for White Rabbit and Urban Peak on Friday, October 21st. It'll be at the Gypsy House Cafe at 13th and Marion in Denver. At this gig, I'll be playing 80s goth & darkwave. Just FYI - since this is a youth-oriented charity, I've been asked to keep the music at this event "family-friendly". Therefore, many of the darker and "bloodier" Halloween-themed darkwave songs will not be on the menu. Hopefully, that won't deter you from joining me - hopefully in cape and wax fangs!

Alf was born in the 1970s. Early on. Really early on.
His first 7" single was "Theme from Rocky (Gonna Fly Now)" by Bill Conti. His first LP was K-Tel's Starflight. It was purchased because it had "Pop Muzik" by M at the end of side one. His first CD was Daft by the Art of Noise.
He went to college to become a high school math teacher, but a weekly show at the college radio station (even then, it was a retro show) made him realize that perhaps radio would be a better career option.
It took him over two years, four road trips and sixty contacted radio stations before he was finally offered a job. Overnights. In New Mexico. For $600 a month. He took it.
When the radio station shut down 18 months later, he again started searching, and was offered three gigs on the same day. He chose KTCL-FM (Channel 93.3) because he "liked the vibe". His first shift was the first weekend of May 1996. He has been on the air here ever since.
He took over the retro show in July 1996.
He took over Adventure University in 2000.
He took over Locals Only in 2002.
He's pretty much done taking over shows.
When he's not doing something music related, he enjoys trying out new restaurants (and revisiting old favorites) with Rick, reading, writing, dancing at Colorado Mammoth games, and referring to himself in the third person.
