LASERetro Science City-Union Station Every week Friday, 5:30pm Midtown
During its song “Laser Show,” Fountains of Wayne giddily references Pink Floyd (We’re going straight to the dark side of the moon) and Metallica (We’re gonna sit back, relax, watch the stars/James and Jason, Kirk and Lars). Traditionally, progressive rock and metal accompany laser shows, with... More >>
1964: The Tribute Carlsen Center Fri., May 1, 8:00pm Overland Park
Relive the British invasion through a musical journey of the Fab Four. From the Beatle boots and Vox amplifiers. . .to the mannerisms and unmistakable harmonies, “1964” captures and recreates a live Beatles concert to perfection. More >>
Abracadabras, the Noise FM, Many Moods of Dad, Ample Branches Jackpot Music Hall Thu., January 15 Lawrence
Like most wide-eyed young rock bands, the Noise FM isn't above a good gimmick. In high school in Fort Scott, Kansas, Alex Ward, Austin Ward and Derek Wright — who were then in a band called the Pond Monkeys — brought a collection of cosmetology heads onstage when they... More >>
AC/DC Sprint Center Wed., January 21 Downtown
Angus Young, the 53-year-old spastic schoolboy sprite, built his rock-god status with ear-splitting, blues-infused, high-voltage rock and roll. His guitar heroics aren’t color-coded or virtual. Neither is his arse, which he'll proudly display should he strip off his knickers when AC/DC... More >>
American Idol Season 8 Various Locations Tue., January 13, 7:00pm
Who did you vote for? No, that's not a political question. You may not give a hoot about David Cook, but for many of your fellow Americans, his contest with David Archuleta was the biggest race of 2008 (sorry, Obama). Cook, a guitar-totin' Blue Springs native, briefly put the KC metro on the... More >>
Baby Birds Don't Drink Milk, Rooftop Vigilantes, Hospital Ship Record Bar Thu., January 15 Westport
At any given Baby Birds show, there's a good chance that at least one instrument will be shattered. It's an odd sight for a local show, made even more odd by the fact that the trio's spaced-out guitar non-sequiturs, thumb-piano fills and long stretches of amp feedback seem more cerebral than...

Ballet Boyz Carlsen Center Fri., March 27 Overland Park
Britain's most "off-the-wall ballet dancers," Ballet Boyz thrills audiences with an exhilarating mix of repertoire, style and high artistic standards through the use of integrated film, video and daily blog. More >>
Black Gasoline, Williams Rite The Brick Fri., January 9 Westport
If you had to find one Kansas band, for putting your David Cook-worshipping baby brother through rock-and-roll boot camp, Black Gasoline would proudly answer the call. While it’s tempting to surmise that the Wichita band's shock-and-awe rock stems from an aspiration to be louder than the... More >>
Brave Ulysses, Echo of the Elms The Brick Sat., January 17 Westport
It takes a brave band to hop into a Dodge Durango in the middle of winter and navigate the Midwest tour circuit with a one-ton trailer attached to its rear. But Chicago’s Brave Ulysses exhibits that kind of reverence for the old-school D.I.Y approach: demoing albums before actually... More >>
Marc Broussard, Jessie Baylin VooDoo Lounge Fri., January 9 North
It’s been seven years since Marc Broussard’s debut EP, Momentary Setback, hinted at a promising career to come. But Broussard quickly became a victim of ambiguity — he’s not quite rock, not quite R&B and not quite country. And it’s not quite fair that the Carencro,... More >>
Czech Symphony Orchestra Carlsen Center Sun., February 15, 7:00pm Overland Park
Czech Symphony Orchestra brings their debut U.S. tour performing Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9 “from the New World”, in addition to two soloists: pianist Paavali Jumppanen performing Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů’s Double Concerto, and violinist Jennifer Frautschi... More >>
The Juke Joint Duo featuring Cedric Burnside & Lightnin' Malcolm, Waylon Payne Knuckleheads Saloon Fri., January 16 North
Cedric Burnside grew up in a small shack that belonged his grandfather, pioneering Mississippi bluesman R.L. Burnside. Picking up his drumsticks at a young age, he eventually toured the world with gramps and was schooled in everything from music to manners. Nowadays Cedric plays in a duo with... More >>
Juke Joint Duo The Bottleneck Sat., January 17 Lawrence
Cedric Burnside grew up in a small shack that belonged his grandfather, pioneering Mississippi bluesman R.L. Burnside. Picking up his drumsticks at a young age, he eventually toured the world with gramps and was schooled in everything from music to manners. Nowadays Cedric plays in a duo with... More >>
Max Justus, the Abracadabras Czar Bar Fri., January 16 Downtown
"What I try to do with electronic music is push it into a pop format and mix in classical ideas," Spransy, aka Max Justus says. "I try to throw curveballs in terms of how I arrange songs. A lot of electro guys will come up with a
