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 arent color-coded or virtual. Neither is his arse, which he'll proudly display should he strip off his knickers when AC/DC... 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...

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 its 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 Chicagos 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 |
|
Its been seven years since Marc Broussards debut EP, Momentary Setback, hinted at a promising career to come. But Broussard quickly became a victim of ambiguity hes not quite rock, not quite R&B and not quite country. And its not quite fair that the Carencro,... More >>

|
Rooftop Vigilantes, the Dactyls The Replay Lounge |
Fri., January 16 |
Lawrence |
|
Lawrences Rooftop Vigilantes may well be our satellite shires breakout band of 2009. The kinetic four-piece has been earning mad music-blog love without so much as a proper album, a situation theyre about to remedy with the release of an LP titled Carrot Atlas and a 40-day tour... More >>

|
Scott Weiland VooDoo Lounge |
Wed., January 14 |
North |
|
It seems like every time Scott Weiland gives us reason to take him back, he's back out on the street that night with a D.U.I. riding shotgun and a pound of blowhard (figuratively, of course). The tempestuous rock star has kept controversy alive in an era marked by boring yarl-rockers, serving... More >>

|
Workfare Inc. Show with the Expassionates, True North, Billy Ebeling and Winston Apple Knuckleheads Saloon |
Sun., January 18 |
North |
|
It's been a decade since Kansas City's Expassionates put out a record, and it's safe to say the band is champing at the bit to atone for those lost years. As fast as Scott Easterday rekindled his muse with a stellar lineup featuring guitarist Marco Pascolini, bassist Richard Burgess and drummer... More >>
