I LOVE KC MUSIC

I had seen Mad Libby one time before this show. It was a one time only acoustic set at Ollie's Local. I was not expecting the show that I got and it was the best surprise ever! Mad Libby doesn't just play music, they put on a show. Their energy on stage is high and they have fantastic chemistry. Davy's Uptown was packed with an audience who were there in the moment rocking right along with them. It was a fun show were the audience was giving and getting as much as the ba

Get ready to get rowdy when The Ghost Wolves are in town! They are one dynamic duo from Austin, TX. The over head lights were cut off and only two flood lights sitting on the floor lit the stage while The Ghost Wolves melted the faces off the crowd. They were rocking so hard that one of the lights on stage knocked over. Their music mixes punk, rock, and blues with explosive energy. These two have great chemistry and pull in the crowd with their music. At one point people fr

Interpol (Manhattan, NY) played to a packed Aarvest Bank Theater at The Midland on May 2. As lights shone and danced around the band as they played suspending all reality outside The Midland. Interpol has an intense energy as they rock out pulling the crowd into their music. #Interpol #IndieRock #Rock #PostPunkRevival #ManhattanNY

The Philistines (Kansas City) will being rocking out at the recordBar on Tuesday, October 2, 2018. They will be playing with Wonderfuzz and Brandon Phillips and The Condition at a fundraiser for the Midwest Innocence Project. Kimmy sat down with Kimmie, Cody, Steve, and Barry (and special guests, Kimmie and Cody's dogs) to get the inside details of what makes them tick. This was recorded at the "Casbah," the practice space of the Philistines. Before doing this interview I di

A line of fans buzzing with anticipation wrapped around The Midland waiting to get in to see Alice In Chains on September 11. Alice In Chains was out touring their new album, Rainier Fog. Not only did they play songs off their new album (go ahead, give it a spin!), but they gave the fans what they wanted. They played crowd favorite after crowd favorite. The crowd returned the favor and song along song after song. Although their music hits those deep emotions, the energy

Rabble In Arms started off I Love KC Music's day right with some firey soul grass. There's something about Shannon that catches a spark in the audience. Josh sings and plays with an intense passion grabbing the audience further into the music. It was early in the afternoon and the sun was beating down fiercely on the main stage as Mama’s Boys pulled the crowd in. Their groovy surf rock had the crowd rocking along. Their beachy vibes and dreamy voices were a sweet way get int

The Crane Wives (Grand Rapids, MI) will be playing in KC on June 12, 2018 at The Rino. Kimmy of I Love KC Music loved seeing them at Folk Alliance and highly recommends seeing them when they are back in town on the 12th. Kimmy had the chance to pick Kate's brain and learn more about the band in this interview. Here's what she learned. Kimmy: Introduce yourself-what do you play? What's your role in the band? Who else is in the band with you? Kate: My name is Kate Pillsbury.

Helmet and Prong got together for a epic tour de force making a stop in Kansas City at The Truman. This line up couldn’t be more perfect; both of these bands were huge in the late 80s/early 90s with their post-punk/artrock in NYC. These two bands are still putting out albums and putting on fantastic live shows. This show ended the week with a banger making the Monday grind just a little easy to stomach. There was no time wasted warming up the stage; Prong came in ready to g

The Ghost Wolves are coming to The Bottleneck in Lawrence on May 1st. The Ghost Wolves (Austin, TX) have been playing together for the last 7 years touring relentlessly. This two piece rock band plays a high energy show with an eclectic mix of punk, blues, rockabilly, rock, grit, and attitude. They are currently on tour with Lincoln Durham. I had the chance to ask them some questions. Kimmy: Lets start off with a few quick warm up questions. What are you watching right now

Diarrhea Planet is on tour right now with The Darkness. On April 8 Diarrhea Planet and The Darkness took over The Truman for a night of rock! It may have been a Sunday night, but that didn't stop anyone from going all out. Diarrhea Planet may have been the opening band, but their energy and excitement level was epic. People were there to see the opener as much as The Darkness. There was a wild playfulness about their performance. Each song was full of epic guitar riffs a
