If there is one place in Denver known for whipping up a party, it’s Cervantes’ and on Friday night things got moving early with a powerful set from Asheville North Carolina’s Toubab Krewe. The quintet tore down the boundaries between genres as they deftly took African rhythms, overlayed funky guitar licks, and got the room moving before The Pimps of Joytime took over and delivered a set chock full of their trademark feel-good Electro-Funk.

Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom got busy early Saturday night, as attendees of the LOHI Music Festival made their way from the event grounds to Five Points for part two. The last set of moe. ended at 10pm, getting fans all hot and bothered and leaving them begging for more. With a new moon on the rise, when the festival ended, it was apparent that Denver was not ready for bed yet. The second half of the festivities included performances from The Pimps of Joytime, Everyone Orchestra featuring members of moe. and the Motet, and The Heavy Pets.

The crowd was nicely mixed at the LoHi Music Festival on Saturday. People of all ages, shapes and styles came out of the woodwork for the third year of Highland Tap & Burger’s annual music to-do. The music of the opening band started at noon and could be heard from blocks away, telling friends, neighbors and passersby that they should stop and take a listen. Throughout the day the two stages of the festival saw Genetics, Tiger Party, The Heavy Pets, The Pimps of Joytime, Joy Porter’s Vital Organ, Chrome Drones and, most fantastically, moe.

Denver’s Five Points was the Jazz Mecca of the American West from the 20’s to the mid 50’s. Back then Welton Street was the place to be, with its clubs featuring musical greats like Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday. Promoting a theory of the avant-garde, Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom and Cervantes’ Other Side strive to help the Five Points neighborhood reclaim its former glory and events like last Saturday’s shameless dance party with Juno What?! that have once again begun to expand the boundaries of Denver’s live music experience.

Saturday night’s Pimps Of Joytime show was the kind of show that makes you want to jump on tour with a band, the kind of show that wins over legions of fans, and hopefully the kind of show that gets a band invited back to a venue real, real soon. From the get go it was clear that expectations were high, and the band delivered with a two set performance that was heavy on the funk and cranked the temperature in the room up a few notches.

The Pimps of Joytime. It’s a name that carries with it a certain panache, a “je ne sais quois” if you will, and lays the perfect groundwork for a funky sound that is sure to get any party hoppin’. At times, it’s got a dirty, lo-fi feeling that is reminiscent of the best old school funk tracks, but it’s evident that all that grime is intentional, as the group’s song can swing into a swirling digital wonderland that comes through in all its hi-fi glory.
