5280 Ways To Please Your Lover

We were thrilled to be featured in this week's "Best Bets" in 5280. "While love and lust are relevant themes for any time of the year, seductive electro-R&B outfit the Love Royale seem especially poised to set the mood at this Valentine's Day dinner and concert. With Heather Larrabee (pictured) on vocals and Flobots producer Kyle Jones on bass, the Denver group lays down hypnotic, soulful grooves and blues-y up-tempo jams that focus on the drama and delight of carnal desire." Drama and delight indeed! We've added new romantic tunes to our repertoire and promise to keep it very sexy for you on Tuesday night. Make sure to make your reservations for a beautiful set menu from the fabulous Dazzle culinary team and sit back in red booths and relax. Thanks to our friends at 5280 for the write-up!

Westword's Review of Love Letters

It's official! We had our first review in the Westword by the fabulous Jon Solomon and we're so grateful for his thumb's up on our first EP, Love Letters.


Check the link below, but here's what Jon had to say last week:


"Headed up by singer Heather Larrabee and Flobots producer Kyle Jones, the Love Royale whips up some of the finest electro-soul in these parts. On Love Letters, the first of three long-form EPs, the group lays down a number of tracks that provide an ideal soundtrack for getting to, er, know somebody. Throw on the sweaty, grinding groove of "Give It to Me," which kind of feels like a distant cousin of Grace Jones's "Private Life," or the unhurried neo-soul of "Do the Dance," or "Sunday." All are saucy enough to get things heated up. But Love Letters isn't just about getting sexed up; the band turns up the energetic funk on "Come Over" and rocks out a bit on "Sundress." Any way you look at it, Love Letters is a thoroughly strong effort, and the captivating Larrabee shows she's quite capable of simultaneously being seductive and belting it out." - Jon Solmon, 4/12/2011.
