The Skyway Will Get Funky With The Motet and Dopapod On 11/8

Well into their second decade as a band, Denver, CO band The Motet show no signs of slowing down or getting less funky. Their new self-released studio album, “Totem” hit shelves and computers last summer and the band is starting a tour that seems to keep them quite busy in 2017. The Motet’s blend of funk (lots of it), Jazz and – as they put it  “a Funk-flippin’, booty-dippin’, dance party delivery squad” – makes for high energy, high fun live shows.

That tour will bring them to the Skyway Theatre on 11/8 with Dopapod. Tickets are still available HERE

The recent addition of singer Lyle Divinsky, who joined the band in early 2016, fans the flames of this already hot band. His sinfully soulful voice and rich lyrics are powerfully prevalent throughout Totem. “There was a month and a half between the time I joined the band and when we went into the studio,” explains Divinsky. “I wound up writing the lyrics and melodies to four songs, and re-wrote the lyrics to two. It gave me and the band an opportunity to really connect musically. We’re deeply proud of this album and it’s very exciting to have this new material to push out as we begin this next phase of The Motet’s journey.”

The Motet are Lyle Divinsky (vocals), Dave Watts (drums), Joey Porter (keyboards), Garrett Sayers (bass), Ryan Jalbert (guitar), Gabriel Mervine (trumpet), and Drew Sayers (saxophone).
