MileHighUnderground.com – FROM THE UNDERGROUND
by Stella Martin
On November 6, 2010 MileHighUnderground.com (MHU) was launched…and this is where it all began. A dream, at a single point of inception, was in its beginning phases. The goal: to give local, unsigned and original music a home where it could be put into full rotation, and the general public could listen to something aside from the music that is force-fed into ears by terrestrial radio. Now don’t get me wrong, just because you write a song, doesn’t mean it’s automatically played. Brett Finn, Program Director for MHU, has a very selective ear and only plays the very best of what is submitted and what he scouts. Mainstream radio, in essence, is really what the labels pay for you to hear. MHU focuses on what the listener actually wants to hear. Unlike many “internet” radio stations, where a single person decides to host a show out of their basement for a couple hours a week, MHU is a corporate-endorsed station that offers a fresh perspective on music 24/7.
Check out www.MileHighUnderground.com where every day you will hear music that represents what’s really going on in not only the Colorado music scene, but also the national music industry. Where, on a daily basis, both local and national level bands pop in for interviews and rare acoustic sets. You’ll also find some of the best on-air talent around. The on-air talent of MHU is represented by real working promoters, musicians, and jocks that know and care about the music scene. The variety of music you will hear on MHU is enough to satisfy any ear’s craving. For those who prefer a specific genre of music, MHU offers specialty shows focusing on metal, hip-hop, country and more. For those of you who can’t make it to shows, MHU live-streams a majority of the prominent live shows happening around town.
Also, check out Colorado Music Buzz Radio on Saturdays from 2-4pm, where CMB and MHU hash out this crazy Colorado music scene!
If you are interested in submitting your music, requesting play of a specific band, or just looking to give MHU a shout out, please email MHU band coordinator Spano at SpanoChris@gmail.com.
