\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div> \t\t\t\t\tMk.gee at Rolling Stone Presents: Gather No Moss<\/a> at the Fillmore Auditorium on July 26, 2025 in Denver, Colorado.<\/span><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tChip Litherland<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \n\tThe evening began with a killer set by SEES00000 (pronounced \u201csee-so\u201d), who opened for Mk.gee last year. The Los Angeles DJ and producer won over plenty of Mk.gee fans on that tour, so he received a warm welcome (and some requests for his recent vibe-heavy single, \u201cT00STEP,\u201d which he eventually played). He performed selects from 2024\u2019s If I Promise to Miss You, Will You Go Away<\/em>, like the trippy opener \u201c00000(:\u2019D)\u201d and the pulsating \u201cRAL2222.\u201d After his set, he walked out from his setup to the front of the stage, handing out his set list to one lucky fan.<\/p>\n \t\tEditor\u2019s picks<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n \n\tNext up was Black Noi$e (unlike Mk.gee and SEES00000, no tricky pronunciation is required), a Detroit-based producer and DJ who has toured and collaborated with Earl Sweatshirt, including the hypnotic highlight \u201cMo(u)rning<\/a>.\u201d He capped his euphoric 45-minute set with a special send-off: \u201cHey Denver, I fuck with y\u2019all!\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tPart of Mk.gee\u2019s appeal is that he\u2019s impossible to pin down. Ever since he blew up with Two Star & the Dream Police <\/em>\u2014 collaborating with Justin Bieber<\/a> and Bon Iver<\/a> and performing on Saturday Night Live<\/em><\/a> \u2014 critics have been racking their brains trying to identify his sound. Is he experimental indie? A little bit soft rock? Maybe even a little Phil Collins, particularly on the devastating Nineties banger \u201cCan\u2019t Turn Back the Years\u201d? Tonight, looking out at the jam-packed venue, it\u2019s clear that it doesn\u2019t really matter.<\/p>\n \n\tMk.gee took the stage around nine p.m., backed by guitarist Andrew Aged and multi-instrumentalist Zack Sekoff. The 15-song set was bookended by the one-off single \u201cROCKMAN,\u201d serving as the intro and outro to Mk.gee\u2019s hazy, enigmatic universe. \u201cHoney\/Just shut up and ride,\u201d he sang. \u201cWherever you are\/I want it on fire.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tBlack Noi$e at Rolling Stone Presents: Gather No Moss at the Fillmore Auditorium on July 26, 2025 in Denver, Colorado.<\/span><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tChip Litherland for Rolling Stone<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \n\tMk.gee tore through almost every track on Two Star<\/em>, and \u201cROCKMAN\u201d wasn\u2019t the only repeat. He\u2019s been known to revisit the sparkling \u201cDNM\u201d in his set \u2014 sometimes even a dozen times<\/a> in one evening \u2014 and tonight was no different. He delivered it not once, not twice, but three times, teasing the crowd in between tracks. \u201cWe\u2019re never gonna do that again,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s not gonna happen<\/em>. You guys are all high.\u201d (Speaking of high: the fog machine reached its peak during \u201cBreakthespell,\u201d when a stellar cyclone of smoke<\/a> formed onstage, its layers tightly wound in a circular motion. An amazing night, indeed).\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\tRelated Content<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n \n\t\u201cHow are we feeling?\u201d Mk.gee asked the crowd. \u201cNo, how are we actually <\/em>feeling?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n \n\tFor the encore, Mk.gee returned to the stage for \u201cAlesis,\u201d a Two Star <\/em>highlight that will stay in your head for days. \u201cWhy me, or better, why you?\u201d he sings over distorted, fuzzy riffs. If he performs this one a dozen times in the future, we\u2019d be more than happy. For the final \u201cROCKMAN,\u201d Mk.gee brought SEES00000 and Black Noi$e back onstage, making it a full circle moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tGather No Moss will stop in Chicago next, with the Beaches headlining the Salt Shed on Aug. 29. Wet Leg will lead the bill the following month in Nashville, on Sept. 23 at Marathon Music Works. On Oct. 16, MJ Lenderman will headline Brooklyn\u2019s Kings Theatre, the final stop of the rock & roll tour. But it all began here at the Fillmore in Denver, with Mk.gee and his magnetizing music. We can\u2019t think of a better way to kick it off.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tSEESOOOOO at Rolling Stone Presents: Gather No Moss at the Fillmore Auditorium on July 26, 2025 in Denver, Colorado.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
