About Gen X Parte: A Denver-Area Cover Band for the Gen X Party

Our Story

I’ve had a taste of just about everything gig-wise. Not a ton of experience, to be fair, but enough to learn the one thing that matters most, and I learned it on a night I wasn’t even on stage.

I was with a band up in a little mountain town. Laid-back, kind of a hippie town, people sitting around chilling, and honestly, it did not look like the crowd was going to be into the band at all. I remember thinking, this could be a long night. Then the band started playing, and as soon as they did, people swarmed the stage and hit the dance floor hard. For two hours. Nobody sat back down.

That night stuck with me. You don’t get to pick the crowd, and you never really know who’s going to show up for you. So you make the most of whatever gig you’re given, and you go into every one giving it everything you’ve got. That’s how you learn, and that’s how you make someone’s day.

That’s what Gen X Parte is about. Whether it’s ten people or a thousand, you get the same performance and the same energy. And if only a few people in the room really appreciate it, that’s still what’s important.

We’re a Gen X ’80s party band out of Denver, the last generation to grow up offline, playing the songs from every mixtape we ever made. The main focus is the ’80s: Prince, David Bowie, Depeche Mode, INXS, The Police, U2, Modern English, Neil Diamond, and yes, “Hotel California.” We mix in some ’70s and ’90s favorites too. We’re building toward summer concert series and outdoor stages all over the metro, mountain-town festivals, private parties, weddings and corporate events too. Wherever it is, we’ll bring it.
