We haven't seen a scene like this for a while--
Utah quartet The Backseat Lovers and Kentucky band Bendigo Fletcher played a very sold-out show at GrindersKC in the Crossroads district of downtown Kansas City to begin the weekend. The line for venue entry wrapped around several city blocks to get in, with those less unfortunate walking up and down each side of the line, begging for any rare extra ticket (of which there were none).
Openers Bendigo Fletcher were very well-received, playing an unreleased track to begin their set, and their latest single, "Uncle Mick's Fireworks Extravaganza" to end things; even getting rave applause when singer Ryan Anderson non-chalantly picked up his banjo, for a track or two.
Meanwhile, we could tell something was seriously bubbling with The Backseat Lovers when we saw them last in late 2021 in Minneapolis, and now, their new album, Waiting To Spill, has completely burst the dam, and there has been a massive breakthrough in terms of popularity and fan base.
The mostly younger crowd yelped at every note and move, sang along to every lyric, and were even visually trembling after, as I attempted to get a setlist picture from a young girl holding it and shaking in a heightened emotional state.
Singer/guitarist Joshua Harmon can play a gentle acoustic strum or a possessed chaotic electric wail, depending on the song's vibe and the crowd was in the band's hands from the very beginning. "Best concert ever!" could be heard said by many, as they filed out of the venue and The Backseat Lovers are undoubtedly rocketing to even bigger venues and greater heights next.
More info to come!

The Utah four-piece indie rockers have really blown up in popularity over the last year and are out on their Waiting To Spill Tour in support of their major-label debut album, last Fall's Waiting To Spill via Capitol Records which landed #1 on the Alternative New Artist Albums and #2 on the Heatseekers Album charts.
We caught them in Minneapolis back in late 2021, before the recent fame (and much bigger venues), so this show at the relatively small Grinders, might be a good chance to see them before they move to even bigger places.
Arrive early for Kentucky openers Bendigo Fletcher in support of their Wingding EP., making waves in the indie scene with their fusion of folk, rock, and pop. Recently, the band released a new single called "Uncle Mick's Fireworks Extravaganza".
