Inity Weekly (CO) and Rockers Movement (NY/FL) are joining forces in celebrating Mandela Day with St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands-based roots reggae band, Midnite. The event will be held on July 18^th at Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom in Denver.

Midnite has gained a massive Grateful Dead-like following and has transcended genres with their experimental and trance reggae sound. The “chant-and-call” style and heavy conscious lyrics of Midnite’s Vaughn Benjamin enhances the band’s music, attracting a diverse, progressive and intellectual crowd.

The overarching objective of Mandela Day is to inspire individuals to take action to help change the world for the better. It is ultimately a call to action for people to recognize their ability to have a positive effect on others around them.

We are encouraging people to register an action of service on the Mandela Day website (MandelaDay.com). Individuals and organizations are free to participate in Mandela Day as they wish, as long as there is adherence to the ethical framework of “service to one’s fellow human”. Ultimately, the Mandela Day event featuring Midnite seeks to empower communities in Denver and beyond.

Supporting acts are Ghanaian/Boulder-based Reggae/Afropop band, Selasee and the Fafa Family, and 2014 Westword Music Award nominee, Rastasaurus.

Music for the night will be provided by Nikka T of Joseph Starr Sound, who is also a winner of the Cannabis Cup many times over, as the mastermind of Essential Extracts.

Stepping into our fifth year as a festival, Titwrench 2013 continues in the spirit for which it first began back in 2009: A multi-day exploration of music, art and performance with an emphasis on all ages, inclusive environment for artists and audience to come together.

As a completely DIY fest, Titwrench aims to highlight female and female-identified performers pushing the boundaries of genre and form, while bringing the surrounding community into the fold with interactive workshops and productions. Generally a participant in the onslaught of summer festivals, this year, we’ve brought the fest into the fall, with the 2013 edition going down this September 5th, 6th, and 7th.

In our five year existence, Titwrench has called many great venues across the city home. For 2013, we will be taking over Glob for all three days once again. A well-known DIY spot at 3551 Brighton Boulevard in the burgeoning River North Art District, Glob has hosted shows like No Age, Monotonix, The Pirate Signal, Japanther, and dozens more in its almost-decade of existence. It has also been a launch pad for Titwrench, by being the home of our pre-fest dance parties, a fundraising platform integral to raising the money needed to put on a DIY festival of this size and scope.

For this 2013 edition of Titwrench, we are stoked to present a strong line-up of local and national musicians, performance artists, poets, visual artists and DJs. From electronic virtuosos to MCs and modern dancers, Titwrench welcomes outsiders in, creating a community built on empowered people.
