Attention all local music aficionados! The much missed local group Lorenzo Goetz will play two reunion shows next week at Cowboy Monkey. Friday December 28 they will be joined by Temple of Low Men and elsinore. The following night they will play again with Temple of Low Men and Darling Disarm. Both shows start at 10 p.m.

If you find yourself in the CU, get yourself to one of these shows. You probably remember Lorenzo Goetz’s “Jesus Elephant” if nothing else. These will be their first shows together since their last show as a band last New Year’s Eve. The band announced their breakup last October.

Those of you who have been to Lorenzo Goetz shows surely remember perennial dance numbers such as “Alright,” “Let It Out” and “Wake Up.”  “The Heavy EP” was the band’s last official release and is home to some of their best songs.

Since the split, band members have stayed active in music. Bassist Eric Fisher joined local band The Beauty Shop. Drummer Jesse Greenlee headed east to play with Americana group American Minor. Lead singer Larry Gates and guitarist Josh Miethe continued to work together on a songwriting and production project called The Jezebelly. Gates recently released his first solo album “Little Red Recovery Room” under the moniker Curb Service.

All that said, who knows when the next time you’ll have a chance to see them all on stage together again will be.
