katy perry sparks social commentary during performance in kansas city
In the 18 years I have been going to live shows, I have cried less than a handful of times. In fact, I can only remember twice that I've cried at shows. And they both happened relatively recently. (But I digress.) And I'll admit, I've seen Katy Perry several times and...
andrew mcmahon + lo moon @ music alley
On September 29th, Andrew McMahon headlined an out of character stripped down show at Music Alley in Lenexa, KS following an all-too-brief set with Lo Moon. The night was absolutely gorgeous, the music the perfect backdrop to the sunset and subsequent starry night...

andrew w.k. @ recordBar
On September 20th, Andrew W.K. blew the roof off recordBar in Kansas City, MO. If there were actual words to describe what happened at that show, we'd try. Within two songs, I was hip checked pretty hard and then had two drinks spilled on me. And I couldn't even be...
bishop briggs @ the midland
