Denver's electro space funk quintet Vine Street Vibes is pouring it on at the end of 2015, and bursting into 2016 with a jet-fueled album release tour that's sure to set things in motion for a massive festival season come summer.

In honor of the band's forthcoming full-length, Nebula, which is slated for a December 12 release, this high-energy five-piece is hitting the road in mid-December, and picking it right back in up in mid-January.

The outfit kicks things off in its home state with two album release parties. The first hits Hodi's Half Note in Ft Collins, CO on December 10, and then the guys cruise into Denver, CO on December 12, the album's drop date, to play Ceravntes' Other Side with Punch Drunk Munky Funk, Evanoff, and more.

As part of a special deal from Vine Street Vibes, fans can purchase a pre-sale ticket (free of service fees) for $8 directly from the VSV Bandcamp page, and they will receive a physical copy of Nebula upon arrival at the Cervantes box office. Two more dates in Colorado follow with more special guests.

The band then heads into the midwest in January with dates in Iowa, Ilinois, Wisconsin, and Ohio. Along the way, the guys will be joined by Greener Grounds, Chachuba, and Yosemight, along with additional artists TBA. The Nebula tour is the biggest run the band has made since its inception in 2012.

Today, we're also thrilled to reveal the lead single from Nebula, album opener "Freshen Up." Gaining influence from livetronica pioneers Particle, and really leaning into that trancefusion popularized by The Disco Biscuits, Vine Street Vibes is able to take that signature jam sound and weave into it elements from the comtemporary electronic space. The magic is in the live show, and tracks like "Freshen Up" serve as launchpads for wild versions of studio tunes served up on stage.
