Denver’s 90s cover band In The Meantime has officially outperformed the entire decade they pay tribute to, according to local experts and several intoxicated witnesses on Colfax. Blending nostalgia, flannel, and unapologetic sincerity, the band delivers hits from Nirvana to Harvey Danger with such precision that fans have begun questioning if time travel is involved. Frontman Chris, (more Chris Farley than Cornell) credits their success to “cheap beer, loud amps, and emotional damage,” while city officials reportedly consider naming them Denver’s official fragrance.

In a development that has left Denver’s dive bar circuit questioning reality, local 90s cover band In The Meantime has reportedly achieved “sonic perfection unmatched since the height of flannel dominance,” according to Smells Like News Spirit  Witnesses claim their rendition of “How's it going to be” was so moving it briefly reopened an old Blockbuster in Arvada. Drummer Bobby,  insists the band’s success comes from “deep emotional resonance and just enough kick to make your therapist proud.” Fans describe their shows as “a time machine powered by angst and cheap beer,” while city officials continue to investigate how one group can legally summon that much nostalgia without a permit.

Denver’s In The Meantime once again melted both faces and timelines last night, thanks in no small part to guitarist Brandon, whose solos reportedly summoned the ghost of  Christmas Past and every overdriven amp from 1994. Critics compared his performance to “if Brandon Boyd of Incubus picked up a Strat, discovered distortion, and immediately ascended.” Witnesses swear sparks flew — literally — during his “Nearly lost you” riff, though it remains unclear whether it was divine energy or faulty wiring. Either way, sources agree: Brandon didn’t just play the 90s — he resurrected them.
