Munly & The Lupercalians unleash the dark Denver sound in Bielefeld
On November 19, 2026, the Forum Bielefeld will transform into a stage for dark Americana, theatrical folk, and musical stories from the fictional universe of Lupercalia. Munly & The Lupercalians from Denver bring their unique stage world to the Boge Fabrik – starting at 9:00 PM with no support.
Between Gothic Folk and Apocalyptic Americana
At the center is Jay Munly, singer, author, and banjo player, as well as a key figure in the alternative Denver scene. The music of the group combines folk, country, gothic, and gospel with a distinctive theatrical dramaturgy. Instead of ordinary Americana, a shifted sound cosmos emerges, where characters, families, and legends from Lupercalia come to life.
A concert like a musical theater piece
The Lupercalia stories shape both the lyrics and the stage performance. Banjo, multi-part vocals, driving rhythms, and a deliberately heavy, artistic atmosphere coalesce into a concert experience beyond classic genre boundaries. The arrangements function like chapters of a dark saga: sometimes fragile and narrative, sometimes powerful, dark, and of hypnotic intensity.
Jay Munly and the Denver scene
Munly was active among others with the Denver Gentlemen, Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, and DeVotchKa. With Munly & The Lupercalians, he developed his own musical language that is deeply rooted in the alternative Denver scene. The album Petr & the Wulf was released in 2010 on the label Alternative Tentacles. In 2022, The Kinnery of Lupercalia: Undelivered Legion followed on SCACUNINCORPORATED.
Directly at 9:00 PM at Forum Bielefeld
Doors open at 8:00 PM, and the band starts without a supporting act directly at 9:00 PM. The Forum Bielefeld in the historic Boge Fabrik provides the perfect setting for this intense evening: a traditional live club where international bands, alternative music, and unique concert formats have found their place for decades.
Conclusion: A rare journey to Lupercalia
Munly & The Lupercalians promise not an ordinary folk evening, but a multifaceted journey through dark sound colors, literary images, and theatrical stage energy. Those seeking Americana with a gothic touch, extraordinary stories, and uncompromising live atmosphere will experience a special concert evening at Forum Bielefeld. Secure your tickets in advance and discover Lupercalia live.
