Pivotal Denton post-rock band band, Lift to Experience, is re-releasing their acclaimed album, Texas Jerusalem Crossroads, in the form of a newly remastered vinyl. The release coincides with the album's 15 year anniversary and is being released by Mute Records. You can check out a clip from the remastered album here. The release comes after the band reunited to play a few gigs (including one in Denton) earlier this year.
Thursday night, LSA celebrated their completed rooftop addition that includes six commissioned murals by local artists. The murals all represent a different style and message, but all flow perfectly together. The murals were commissioned by Sparky and the LSA team in order to expose new artists to the general public and support the work of local artists and the Greater Denton Arts Council. The next time you’re in the mood for rooftop views and truffle fries, make sure to stop by and check out the individual works which are all uniquely beautiful in their own right.
