Denver’s electro-funk collective, Tnertle will be releasing their first album under Super Best Records on November 10, 2015. The 11-track LP will be the fourth effort under the group’s belt but takes the group to new heights as they showcase modern production fused with live instruments.  The new release is slated to be a standout and highly-anticipated release from one of Denver’s hottest groups on the rise.

Originally formed by longtime friends and Berklee College of Music graduates, Trent Campbell (production, MIDI controllers, bass) and Kyle Ayervais (drums), Tnertle hit the scene in 2012 and has made an exponential climb supporting the likes of RJD2, Papadosio, Opiuo, Ott., and more. Over the past year and a half, the duo has added horns, MCs, and guitars to thicken out their soundscape and cultivate a musical entourage that puts on stunning live performances.

"MataMata" will highlight Campbell’s production at its finest as it weaves through genres that cannot be pinpointed by a single definition. Having a background firmly rooted in composition and sound engineering, he has managed to create a product that showcases captivating melodies infused with carefully curated samples that exceed the realms of traditional production. "MataMata" is sure to appease fans of hip-hop, funk, nu-disco, and electro-swing alike and features a guest appearance from "the godfather of electro-soul" himself, Michal Menert. Denver's blossoming queen of hip-hop, Lily Fangz, will also lend her talents as a featured artist on the album.

Tnertle has evolved into an 8-piece collective with every musician holding an intricate piece of the musical puzzle. Leah Concialdi uses her arranging background to utilize a musical sound palate of baritone saxophone, soprano saxophone, and electronic wind instrument (EWI) to fill out Campbell’s melodies in the live setting. She has recently been joined by her ATOMGA band mate, Alice Hansen, on trumpet to give the group a full-ranged, dynamic horn section. MCs Ray Salazar and Lily Fangz spout out uplifting, mindful lyrics that add icing on the cake to a solid instrumental foundation. Most recently, the band has been joined by Ty Hughes and Taylor Steele on guitars to broaden the harmonic elements and lay down tasteful, jazz-laden fills.

The group will hold their CD release party at Cervantes’ Other Side on November 20, 2015. Supporting them will be Party Pants (ft. Mikey Thunder and Project Aspect), Skydyed, and Alixir.

They will also embark on series of supporting dates to spread the music far and wide across the front range and gear up towards an active 2016. The dates are as followed:

November 19: Barkley Ballroom - Frisco, CO

November 20: Cervantes’ Other Side - Denver, CO **ALBUM RELEASE PARTY**

December 12: The Lazy Dog - Boulder

January 8: Balcony Bar - Durango

More Dates TBA

This year Robert Nesta "Bob" Marley would be turning 71 years old.  To commemorate the music legend, Wake Up And Live will perform for three nights, their tribute versions of our favorite Bob Marley songs.  WUAL will hold performances in Colorado Springs at the Gold Room, in Fort Collins at the Aggie Theater and at Cervantes Other Side for the grand finale on Saturday.  Shows at The Aggie and Cervantes will include additional performances by local and regional reggae acts.

This year’s celebration won’t be one to miss. WUAL started to pick up pace with live shows in Boulder and Denver late last year and are looking forward to the mini tour for this year’s birthday celebration.  Dave Halchak, the bands front man and rhythm guitarist said of the idea of starting a Bob Marley tribute band, “The idea of taking Bob's material and spinning it in an improvisational way is really where the idea started. The songs are so powerful and strong on their own, but we feel, adding the improv sections really give the songs a different life.”  During the performances you will hear songs spanning Marleys’ full catalog which will sure to keep you singing and swaying.  Yet Wake Up and Live is guaranteed to play versions of those songs like you’ve never heard them before.

About WUAL Denver guitarist and vocalist Dave Halchak has put together a group of musicians to celebrate the music of Bob Marley.  The chemistry between the members has inspired the musicians to create a fresh and new experience for Marley fans; Wake Up and Live.   Wake Up and Live pushes the boundaries of your normal "tribute" band by taking the music of Bob Marley into uncharted improvisational moments which siphon into frequent jam sessions.  The stellar arrangements create a unique and powerful twist on the Marley catalog.  The band features Dave Halchak on guitar and lead vocals, David Lott on lead guitar, Andrew Martin on keyboards, Jay Are Ranck on drums, Neil Ross Hebbert on bass, LaSha Waldroup & Jamie Jay on vocals.  Sometimes featuring additional guest percussionists and horn players. Check them out on Facebook, Instagram, Soundcloud or LIVE!
