Cheap Perfume at Marquis Denver

Denver punk band Cheap Perfume tore through a sweaty, high-energy show at the Marquis Theater, reminding everyone why they’ve become such a force in Colorado’s punk scene. Formed in 2015, Cheap Perfume has built their reputation on sharp political commentary, infectious hooks, and live shows that feel equal parts protest and party. Their sound pulls from riot grrrl roots and classic punk urgency, and it translates especially well in a packed room like the Marquis.

From the jump, the band had the crowd fully locked in, with bodies moving and voices shouting along. Newer material landed just as hard as longtime favorites, showing how confidently Cheap Perfume continues to evolve without losing their edge. The set felt fast, loud, and unapologetic, with barely a moment to catch your breath between songs.

The band’s chemistry was undeniable, and the room fed off that energy all night. Fans near the front screamed lyrics back while others bounced along from the bar, giving the show a communal, anything-goes feel.

What stood out most was how effortless the performance felt. Cheap Perfume sounded tight but never stiff, embracing the chaos that makes punk shows special. This wasn’t just another local gig – it felt like a victory lap for a band that’s put in the work.

By the end of the night, the crowd was sweaty, hoarse, and clearly satisfied. Shows like this prove that Cheap Perfume isn’t just part of the Denver punk scene – they’re helping define it.
