Colorado's Gasoline Lollipops Gear Up for a Wild New Year's Eve Bash

The Boulder-based band Gasoline Lollipops is setting up for an unconventional New Year's Eve performance. Known for their high-energy Americana music, the group plans to showcase original tunes at the Fox Theatre on December 31st. This year marks a shift from previous performances where they would play covers of other artists such as Tom Petty.

An Evening of Musical Collaborations

The band isn't just sticking to their own material; they're also creating a collaborative experience with special guests. Nashville's Phoebe Hunt will add her fiddle talent to the mix, and Boulder's own Bonnie and Taylor Sims will share the stage. This collaborative spirit extends to new music, as the Gasoline Lollipops are set to feature fresh songs live before heading to the recording studio in the following year.

Living on the Edge of Sound

The Gasoline Lollipops have a reputation for infusing their Americana roots with edgy and sometimes psychedelic touches. The band has enjoyed a year of creative growth, including creating a ballet score and pushing their musical boundaries. Their lead singer, Clay Rose, brings an element of raw passion to the performance, noting his need for music as an essential outlet.

Despite challenging their fans with bold moves like performing in drag in Dallas, the band remains dedicated to their art. Their performances vary from raucous to reflective, mirroring Rose's versatile vocal range, which has only improved since he began taking voice lessons.

Intimate Venues and Passionate Performances

The intimacy of venues like the Fox Theatre, with a capacity of 625, is a perfect match for the band's energetic live shows. Known for their close connection with their audience, the group relishes the interactive and lively atmosphere at their gigs. Bandmates remark on the joy of making music together, no matter the size of the audience.

As they prepare for the future, including new recordings and various projects like another score for Wonderbound, Gasoline Lollipops are eager to wrap up the year with a bang. Guitarist Donny Ambory teases the release of new singles and the band plays around with expanding their online presence, from TikTok failures to joking about setting up an OnlyFans account.

The upcoming New Year's Eve concert is expected to be an exciting display of the band's progression and a testament to their vibrant performance style.
