Three Sets of Eyes on Arise – Aug. 8th-10th – Loveland, CO

Estimated read time 9 min read

Three writers. One festival. Perspective is everything, so when Listen Up Denver! set out to cover the second year of Arise Music Festival, we made sure we were stocked up. The weekend at Sunrise Ranch included more than 100 musical acts as well as 100+ workshops, a deluge of artists, installations and crafters, a barrage of food purveyors, and of course, camping.With such a wide array of sensory delights to document, we thought it best to send a team to convey the full experience of Arise.

Lotus – Monks

Estimated read time 3 min read

Remember when Lotus reinvigorated the electro-jam scene back in the early 2000’s? A hardcore contingent of fans certainly do and they have a lot to celebrate as the evolution of the band seems to have come full circle with the upcoming release of Monks, Lotus’ sixth full-length studio album and first hip-hop offering from the five-piece jam favorites.

Galactic – February 16th – Ogden Theatre

Estimated read time 5 min read

Galactic was the main attraction last Saturday at The Ogden, but opener Monophonics drew a hell of crowd and won over a legion of new fans. Once feet started moving they didn’t stop as these two powerhouse bands hit us with a one-two punch that made our legs quiver, and our ears ring. We were floored by the Funk, swept away by the Soul, and ravaged by the Rock…but we stood firm as the full force gale stormed from the stage.

Fox Street All Stars Talk Their Annual Galactic After Parties

Estimated read time 5 min read

For four years now, Fox Street All Stars have been funkin’ it up into the wee hours of the morning at Pete’s Monkey Bar after the Galactic Mile High Mardi Gras throwdown at The Fillmore. This year things have changed a bit. While Fox Street will still be setting up shop at Pete’s, Galactic has moved a few blocks East on Colfax to The Ogden Theatre and they have stretched the party out to two nights. As expected, Fox Street followed suit and will be holding court this weekend at Pete’s on both Friday and Saturday nights.

For the last four years the Fox Street All Stars have had the honor of not only hosting the official Galactic After Show Party, but also of having Galactic drummer Stanton Moore sit-in with them for several numbers. Last year Joey Porter, Lyrics Born, and Tony Hall joined the band and with folks like Corey Glover, DJ Logic, and Corey Henry in town this year, you never know who else might turn up at Pete’s and help funk the place up a bit!
