SHOW REVIEW: Lotus Plays a Diverse Two Sets at NYC’s Terminal 5 [Review, Setlist]

Photo from an Orlando show a couple years back… Lotus rolled into New York City this past weekend to deliver a couple of great sets at the massive Terminal 5. The venue was popping with energy, and the packed house got all sorts of weird while the band played a mix of old and new songs that showcase their wide range. The quintet kicked things off with an oldie from their album Nomad. “Greet The Mind” is a fitting track to start the show, and it was followed by a seamless jam

SHOW REVIEW: Lotus’ NYC Dance Party Included a Daft Punk Cover and a Naked Dude…

Lotus has found their place in the music world after 15+ years of grinding in the festival and touring circuits alike. Most recently they’ve found a place in the electronic music scene in addition to their spot in the jam scene. A love for analog equipment, electronica covers and side projects like Luke the Knife and Beard o Bees have helped them nestle nicely in to the exploding electronic music scene of America. Just like their jamtronica counterparts STS9 and Disco Biscuit

Lotus and Papadosio bring Red Rocks season to a wonderful ending!

Bringing Red Rocks concert season to its near end was a electronica party for the ages as Lotus brought their friends Papadosio and Orchard Lounge to the world famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre. As the sun began to set brightening the sky with vibrant pinks and oranges, Orchard Lounge started things off with some vinyl mixing. This was my first time seeing Orchard Lounge and was pleasantly surprised to see how the group took turns spinning records. Once night has finally settled

What makes Gathering of the Vibes a unique festival?

Cross-posted from uselyte.com Festival curators spend tons of time on non-music activities to make their event unique. Let’s take a look at how Gathering of the Vibes differentiates themselves, aside from the music. Seaside Park Gathering of the Vibes isn’t located on some farm or in the woods. Instead, it is located at Seaside Park, a beach-front property located in the University of Bridgeport. The ocean breeze, the scent it brings and the opportunity to gaze in to an endle

NEW MUSIC: Papadosio – Night & Day [Live Electronic, Jamtronica]

Definitely a favorite over here at DubEra HQ is Asheville-based Papadosio. Out of all the bands lumped in to the jamtronica, live-electronic, jam/edm category, these guys definitely do one of the tightest shows. Having seen them numerous times, I can honestly attest that Papadosio gets better and better each time. The band has evolved incredibly over the years and I feel truly blessed to have been a part of so many incredible experiences at their shows over the last few years
