Gothic Theatre


teamAWESOME!

teamAWESOME! is an electro pop band with twee sensibilities based in Boulder, Colorado. They are known for their energetic stage presence, which involves props, lightly choreographed dances and audience participation. Their songs tend to have upbeat, childish themes, such as slides, pirates, hand-holding, and rocket ships.

The band originated in 2005 with two members, Chuck Potashner and Kara Jorge. Since then it has had many line up changes (including a period with nine members), though Potashner had always been the frontman. In late 2005, teamAWESOME! had finished recording their first CD, but could not afford mastering for it. So they entered and won the University of Colorado Battle of the Bands, the prize of which was mastering. Shortly thereafter, the band released their first CD, Greatest Hits! Vol 1! on Still Soft Recordings, a DIY record label in Denver, Colorado. They have completed four tours of the western United States, preferring to play shows that are all-ages and/or in DIY spaces.
