Cosmopolitics is a four piece band based out of Lawrence, Kansas. They have been playing for about 4 years, building a strong song repertoire and local fan base. Their music is described by many as a blend of progressive rock, jazz fusion, and funk. The intensity of their live performances varies from loud and powerful to mellow and calm, but the group never loses the backbone of a strong groove and interesting melodic progression.
The band ventured through the northwest this previous fall and played many local and Midwestern gigs, as well as the Wakarusa and Summer Camp music festivals. The compositions of this band stylistically meld the nuances of each member’s range of influences, including Rush, Frank Zappa, Tool, early Yes, Umphree’s Mcgee, and many more. They also incorporates a wide variety of sometimes unexpected or obscure covers into their live shows, drawing from many creative musicians and composers.

Once again we are offering a chance to win a $500 - 10 hr recording session from Black Lodge Studios in Eudora.
We are exploring some different criteria as we do every year but basically you just gotta rock out and get as many people there as you can to win the Grand Prize.
Battle for Black Lodge begins on Fri June 5th
Dates available Fri 6/5 Sat 6/6 Sat 6/20 Fri 6/26
July Fri 7/10 Sat 7/11 Fri 7/17 Sat 7/18 Fri 7/24 Sat 7/25
and so on for final rounds
The First Round dates will include 1-2 locals, and 1-2 area bands as scheduling is available. Winners move on to second round. I am always flexible on scheduling so let me know of any possible conflicts throughout the summer.
Payout is a split as usual and these shows are some of the best The Trap has to offer. These competitions really give your fans a reason to get out and support you.
You guys tear it up. If you're not as good as the big names that you cite as influences, I sure can't tell. Great players and the writing surpasses the playing (IMHO) COME TO ST LOUIS, I need an excuse to get out.
