The 2010 Westword Music Showcase is almost upon us, and in anticipation I’ve decided to sit down this rainy weekend and post a few sets from last years event.  Yesterday included a repost of The Fluid’s set, and this morning I just finished tracking out the Experimental Showcase.  Held at the Curious Theatre, some of Denver’s finest experimental musicians took the stage together in a performance closely fashioned after the “singer-songwriters in the round” format.  BDRMPPL, Married in Berdichev, Iuengliss, CacheFlowe, Pictureplane and Slight Harp all took the stage, trading the lead for each tune.
