BAND SPOTLIGHT: WHO IS DAIN SILVA and the Mighty Potent Force?

Dain Silva & the Mighty Potent Force headlining Bust Out the Box #11 flyer

 

If you're hitting Bust Out the Box #11 at the Wagon Wheel Sports Bar & Concert Hall in Colorado Springs on Saturday, September 26, you're walking into two hours of straight jazz-funk-rock from 8 to 10 PM — and the headliner bringing that fire is Dain Silva & the Mighty Potent Force.

Who is Dain Silva?

Dain Silva & the Mighty Potent Force are an in-your-face, unforgettable three-piece straight out of Colorado Springs. Their sound is a sweet eclectic mix that runs from classic and hard rock through pop-punk and into funk rock — which is exactly why they fit this show's jazz-funk-rock theme like a glove.

This isn't their first time on a Colorado stage. The band has been putting in real work across the Front Range — they rocked the Wagon Wheel back in June and tore up Globe Hall in Denver on September 4 alongside Mossgatherers, Null & Void, and Hemline. When a three-piece keeps getting booked on bills like that, it means one thing: the live show hits.

Why #11?

This is THE SARGE's September residency show — the monthly multi-genre night that keeps Colorado Springs live music moving. Dain Silva & the Mighty Potent Force headline, with Gold Camp Road riding shotgun. Doors at 7 PM, show 8–10 PM, 21+.

Tickets are $10 on Eventbrite, $15 at the door — and the $10 ones move fast once show week hits.

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO — Witch Hound is calling the circle together. The Colorado Springs band celebrates the release of "Second Summoning" with a full CD release party and costume contest on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at Vultures, 2100 E. Platte Ave in Colorado Springs. Doors at 7:00 PM, show at 8:00 PM. $10 cover, 21+. Stepping into the circle for one night only: The Sarge joins Witch Hound on stage as a special guest vocalist — a single-show appearance, not a band member. The night runs heavy with special guests Doctor Nez, Uncle Goober, and Malkasian, hosted by Panda Strike, and presented with Electric Desert Records.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: WHO IS RICHARD HUEMPFNER? COLORADO SPRINGS PROMOTER AND THE ANTI-FAMOUZ MASK BEHIND BUST OUT THE BOX

Image
ANTI FAMOUZ — real name Richard Huempfner — is a Colorado Springs promoter and the founder of AntiFamouz Ent. For years he has been one of the hardest-working engines in the local scene, and today he co-organizes and promotes Bust Out the Box, the monthly multi-genre music residency at Wagon Wheel Sports Bar & Concert Hall in Colorado Springs, alongside The Sarge. Ask Mike and he'll tell you what Richard is: his right-hand fellow promoter — sometimes sidekick and backup — on every mission the residency takes on. AntiFamouz does the work most promoters talk about. He pulls stages, vendors, lineups, and crowds together and makes a show night actually run — from the February 'Unity' showcase to the August 'Sarge & Friendz' blowout to the jazz-funk-rock of #11 and the horrorcore Halloween costume party of #12 HALLOWEINER. The Guy Fawkes-style mask is the signature, but the reputation underneath is built on follow-through: if AntiFamouz said it's handled, it...
