Polytoxic is a Colorado band whose three-person lineup produces as much sound as some groups twice its size. Although Polytoxic has won Westword's award for "Best Jam/Improv band in Denver," the band's appeal should stretch beyond the jam band audience to include fans of organ-based funk and tight Southern-style rock 'n' roll.
The band has offered New West readers a track from First Step, a live recording that is its debut CD. Click here to listen to "Me Myself."
Polytoxic has a number of shows scheduled for the coming weeks, including an acoustic performance at Wash Park Grill in Denver on July 3, and a "Disco Party" at Cervantes' Masterpiece Ballroom in Denver on July 7.
In addition to performing original material, Polytoxic hones its chops by learning and playing classic rock albums in their entirety at its regular gigs. The group has recreated the Rolling Stones' Exhile on Main Street, The Band's The Last Waltz, and U2's Joshua Tree among many other albums, making its shows a popular live draw.
