Bonobo – November 1st – Fillmore Auditorium

Estimated read time 3 min read

After a long week of Halloween celebrations, the mood of the crowd at the Fillmore Auditorium last Friday seemed perfect for a downtempo evening of grooving with UK Electronica Producer Bonobo and his highly anticipated live band. No one was complained about the presence of dance floor space–it was cozy, but not claustrophobic, and on Halloween weekend in Denver, that is a rarity. Costumes, of course, abounded, and smiles too as the fans filed in and readied themselves for an evening of soulful music.

Bonobo Live Band – April 26th – The Ogden Theatre

Estimated read time 3 min read

The Bonobo live band made a quick trip to the Front Range last month for two shows with the second night taking place at The Ogden Theatre in Denver. The sold-out crowd was created to an twenty song set that focused mostly on the new album, “The North Borders” with enough classic tracks to keep things interesting throughout. Simon Green performs plenty of DJ sets as Bonobo but it’s with the live band where his musical direction really takes hold.
