Test top brands in cycles, packs, shoes, sunglasses and active wear. And enter raffles to win some of the best stuff.

Join Babes Around Denver for a night with “Blame Sally” – sold out last year – one night only!

Monday, August 2nd at 7:30   ONLY $20
Blame Sally returns to Lannie’s after two SOLD OUT and smashing shows. This all female band has a compelling and original sound that has earned them the well-deserved reputation as the “Bay Area phenomenon.

“Dallas has its Dixie Chicks and San Francisco has Blame Sally”. the difference being, among other things, that Blame Sally’s music is a little more indie, a little less country, a little more brainy and Blame Sally released their potent anti-war song in 2001, long before protest became fashionable among the mainstream

”The band has a take-no-prisoners attitude that is a welcome contrast to traditional folkie navel-gazing and they have the chops and pipes to back up their tough-talking and clear minded music and song-writing.

Because of their uniqueness and talent, they just signed a RARE 5 year-mid six figure record deal.  Catch them at Lannie’s in our gorgeous intimate showroom before they get so big you can only see them at Pepsi Center or Red Rocks!

“One of the finest Americana bands in the country right now!” – San Diego Troubadour

“Collectively they create multi-hued and emotional tapestries, recalling the artful romanticism of the Indigo Girls or the percolating soulfulness of ‘Joy of Cooking’.”   – San Fran Chronicle

Convenient parking is just across the street! Take Lawrence Street/just past 15th on your RIGHT is the Park Central Garage.

Babes Around Denver and Hip Chicks Out are teaming up again for “girlsplash 10″ at Water World. We will be sunning, chilling and  riding the waves at Southbeach in America’s biggest and best water park!. Special group rate of $25 (daily rate is $34.99) ONLY if you buy your tickets here.
