Cosmopolitics is a band based out of Lawrence, Kansas. They have been playing for about 4 years, building a strong song repertoire and local fan base. Their music is described by many as a blend of progressive rock, jazz fusion, and funk. The intensity of their live performances varies from loud and powerful to mellow and calm, but the group never loses the backbone of a strong groove and interesting melodic progression. The band ventured through the northwest this previous fall and played many local and Midwestern gigs, as well as the Wakarusa and Summer Camp music festivals. The compositions of this band stylistically meld the nuances of each member’s range of influences, including Rush, Frank Zappa, Tool, early Yes, Umphree’s Mcgee, and many more. They also incorporates a wide variety of sometimes unexpected or obscure covers into their live shows, drawing from many creative musicians and composers.
