Now that FoCoMX is over, I am already planning out the rest of my month with as many concerts as I can. There are 2 festivals that are coming up in April that have great lineups and are both for good causes.

The first is Mountain of Arms, which will be a big festival that takes place at City Hall in Denver and features 25+ bands, playing 3 stages on April 23rd. Best part? Tickets are only $12 AND all proceeds benefit Japan.

Performances include (links all go to their Facebook fan pages):

Bop Skizzum
Churchill
Petals of Spain
The Foot.
Eldren
My Body Sings Electric
Air Dubai
Rob Drabkin
Prime Element
Snubluck

Mirai Daiko
Deejay Lobot

Water Babys

The second is Tellerpalooza which benefits local school Teller Elementary, and is only $18. The event takes place April 30th at the Mercury Cafe. My friends Aimee and Bryan Giese help organize this event every year and I am excited that I am able to attend this 8th annual event.
