Their unique blend of punk-psychedelia, metal, dance beats and guttural growls have mesmerized the masses for several generations – and for many fans in the US, this will be their first ever opportunity to catch the band live.”

Time to Take Back Your Life!

Multi-platinum Chicago band Disturbed is out on the current 23-date leg of their North American Take Back Your Life Tour which kicked off in their native Illinois just over a week ago. We (literallly) jumped at the chance to visually document the recent Kansas City stop at the T-Mobile Center.

Last summer’s tour of the same name was their most successful tour to date (according to Billboard), bringing in $17.4 million across 336,000 tickets sold. Their most recent and eighth studio album is “Divisive”, released late last year, featuring lead single, “Hey You”.

Falling In Reverse is the still-rising Las Vegas band formed by Ronnie Radke back in 2008 and whose latest planned release was supposed to be the Neon Zombie EP, but the band decided to split the five songs into individual singles instead, leading with single, “Zombified”.

Plush is a somewhat new all-female foursome led by singer/songwriter/guitarist Moriah Formica, who actually auditioned on NBC’s “The Voice” at age 16. Their debut single, “Hate” garnered the complete opposite of that from fans, and one of Formica’s idols is Heart’s Ann Wilson, as evidenced by their ferocious cover of “Barracuda.”

Falling In Reverse at Armory, Minneapolis (08 Dec 2023)

Falling in Reverse Setlist Zombified I'm Not a Vampire Losing My Mind F*** You and All Your Friends The Drug in Me Is You Situations (Escape the Fate cover) Drugs All Star (Smash Mouth cover) Just Like You Watch the World Burn Voices in My Head Popular Monster Read More Falling in Reverse Las Vegas’ Falling in Reverse is touring support of their latest record Coming Home (Epitaph Records). Show up early to check out Massachusetts-based …

You may have read over the weekend about how metal band Falling in Reverse blasted the Armory for wanting to take 25% cut of the band’s merchandise.

Our friend Briana, who attended the show, had first hand knowledge of what went down. First of all, the band pulled their merch, so you couldn’t buy anything from the band. Then the singer Ronnie Radke said to the venue, “F**** you guys. I’ll say it to your f****ing face too.”

Radke explained, “If you haven’t noticed there’s no merchandise in the back. I want to let you know something, it had nothing to do with the radio station, it had to do with this venue. This venue is trying to charge us 25% of our fees. We had to pay this venue. That would mean we have to charge you guys way more money to make any money. So what I did was, f*** them. F*** that. We’re not paying you f**** s****.”

I’m not surprised at the high cut, as I’ve seen artists complained about it at the Varsity Theater, and other Live Nation events… it got so bad that Live Nation said that they would stop taking a percentage of the artists’ merch (but this will only last until the end of this year).

Falling in Reverse (27 Sep 2017)

And I’m also not surprised that Radke is thinking about his fans. You see, when we last saw the band in Sep 2017, the band would not cancel the show, even though Radke fell ill. We noted, “…it was clear that vocalist Ronnie Radke was sick, due to his raspy voice, Radke said he wouldn’t cancel the show because of his fans. He gave it his all, jumping, screaming “mother****rs!” and being his usual hyperactive self. If this was an ill Radke, wait until you see Radke in tip top form.”

Also, the other cool report that we got from the Armory show was that AEW Wrestler Saraya Bevis (aka Paige), was at the show. She was off to the side of the stage. Radke and Bevis have been in a relationship since 2018.

Falling in Reverse is currently touring with Daughtry and Sleep Theory as support bands.

Read more Kansas City Music Guide.

Whew! Late September remains busy with shows and performances, including several sold out-- Good job, KC in getting out there to see live entertainment and keeping venues full-- this will help as promoters have to decide between bands playing here, or Omaha, Lincoln, or St. Louis, all of which we’ve lost several good shows to.

Let’s take look at the Kansas City / Lawrence KS metro musical happenings from September 19th-26th.

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 19

Nickelback w Brantley Gilbert, T-Mobile Center, $44-$115+

Get Rollin’! The Canadian rockers have again teamed up with one of Outlaw Country’s finest, in a Rock meets Country collision, that will no doubt feature pyro, anthemic songs, and plenty of bombast.

Nickelback’s first album in five years, Get Rollin’ was released last November via BMG and debuted at #2 across the Current Rock, Alternative, Hard Music and Digital Album charts. The highly acclaimed new album is a thrilling soundscape of adventure, nostalgia and emotional exploration.

Gilbert’s new album is So Help Me God and includes his latest single “Heaven By Then” with Blake Shelton and featuring Vince Gill and is available now.

WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 20

Queens of the Stone Age w/Viagra Boys & Jehnny Beth, Starlight, $29.50-$129.50

The Used, Uptown, $49-$99

The band just wrapped a co-headlining spring/summer North American outing with Pierce the Veil. But have hit the road again for more shows. Special guests are Sleeping with Sirens and Dead American.

Behemoth, The Truman, CANCELED

Wow- the star of “The Machine” is playing arenas- the renowned comedian, actor, host, and author is extending his Tops Off World Tour with 31 new dates this fall.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Uptown, $39-$99

Ahead of his upcoming album, Dirt On My Diamonds, Vol. 1, catch the Opening Date of the blues guitarist’s Fall Tour right here! The new record will be released on November 17th through Provogue Records/Mascot Label Group. The album was recorded at the renowned FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. “Every record I make is a moment in time. And this is a really special moment,” said Shepherd about the new album.

Three Days Grace w Chevelle, Starlight, $29.50-$85

The tour promises a bill of familiar rock radio hits, as both bands have numerous chart-topping songs in their respective discographies. Chevelle will be out in support of their 2021 album, Niratias, while Three Days Grace will be touring on 2022’s Explosions. Relative post-punk newcomers Loathe will open, having risen through the underground via their acclaimed 2020 album, I Let It In and It Took Everything.

Marie Osmond, Prairie Band Casino- Mayetta, sold out.

The Country pop artist and half of Donny and Marie is coming to Mayetta, KS. Her solo hits include: “Paper Roses”, “Meet Me in Montana”, “I’d Love To Be Your Last”, “I Only Wanted You”, and many more!

Herb Alpert & Lani Hall, Kauffman Center, $47 (low tkt alert)

The legendary couple- music icon Herb Alpert and his wife, Lani Hall, GRAMMY Award–winning vocalist and former lead singer of Brasil ’66 with Sérgio Mendes as they perform their classic recordings, "Más Que Nada," "Fool On The Hill," "Going Out Of My Head" and "Daytripper." Alpert is celebrating his 60th year since recording his first hit song, "The Lonely Bull" in 1962. Alpert, Hall and their incredible band present an eclectic mix of American standards, Brazilian jazz, some Beatles, some classic Tijuana Brass and Brasil ’66 songs as well as many surprises. Their shows are informal as Alpert loves to answer questions from the audience about his and Hall’s music careers, A&M Records (he’s the “A” of A&M), and the many artists they have both worked with over the years.

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 22

Ringo Starr's All-Star Band, Uptown, Sold Out

Peace and Love- it's a Beatle! 2022 was a busy year for Ringo that included Spring and Fall tour dates with his All-Starr band. Ringo also released EP3 on September 16, and on November 18 EP3 was issued on 10” vinyl and blue cassette and accompanied with a new music video, “Everyone and Everything.” On November 25, Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band Live at the Greek 2019 (Roccabella via BFD/The Orchard) was released on Blu Ray, DVD, CD and a special yellow double vinyl. In addition, Ringo created 500 life sized “Peace and Love” sculptures of his iconic hand symbol. We caught the man and band live, back in 2015.

ZZ Ward w/Jaime Wyatt, The Madrid, $30-$36

Out on her One Hell of a Night Tour, and with two critically acclaimed blues rock albums under her belt, 2012’s 'Til The Casket Drops and 2017’s The Storm, Ward has amassed over 380million streams, multiple radio hits and has collaborated with Kendrick Lamar, Fantastic Negrito, Gary Clark,Jr.,and Fitz and the Tantrums.

Three of the voices that defined 90s country music join forces in the Roots & Boots tour. Combined, the trio has amassed more than 40 Top 10 radio smash hits and sold more than 25 million albums. These iconic country artists come together to swap stories and perform their classic songs, all on one stage.

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 23

Guns n’ Roses w/Alice in Chains, Kauffman Stadium, $25-$375

Continuing their monumental We’re F’N Back! Tour that began in 2021 and is trying to top their Not In This Lifetime… Tour (2016-2019) stands out as the “third-highest grossing tour of all time.” Look for Axl, Slash and Duff to play all the favorites, and maybe even some newer songs, such as recent single, “Perhaps”.

The band has already honed their chops playing abroad to begin this year’s tour, so should be fully homed in playing KC, part of the last leg. Branching out, the band also just sponsored Erik Jones and the No. 43 in the Daytona 500 (!?) and the cinematic music video for “November Rain” recently surpassed 2 billion views,

Alice in Chains plays their premier date as tour support in Kansas City, and fans are still waiting on word about a possible follow-up to the band's "Rainier Fog" album, which came out in August 2018. Look to hear plenty of older favorites in the meantime, and singer William DuVall has already been in the band for 17 years and counting. Longtime AIC fans will recall that the late Layne Staley played his final live show here, in July 1996, as the band opened for the fully reunited Kiss at Kemper Arena.

Lyric Opera presents Cavalleria rusticana and Pagliacci, Sept 23-Oct 1, Kauffman, $38-$216.

A musical and dramatic double bill that reveals the consequences of infidelity and the rage within us.

Cavalleria rusticana

Turiddu returns from war to find his love, Lola, married to another. In a scheme to induce jealousy, he seduces Santuzza. As swiftly as she is beguiled, Santuzza is discarded while Turiddu begins an affair with his old flame. After the conclusion of Easter mass, passions erupt and expose the ugliness of jealousy. With stirring melodies as iconic as the story, Cavalleria rusticana reveals the consequences of infidelity and the lengths we might go to for revenge.

Pagliacci

The passions of ordinary people take center stage in Leoncavallo’s classic verismo tale of resentment and possession. Drama seeps into the fabric of a small traveling theater troupe led by Canio and his wife, Nedda. When his suspicions of Nedda’s affair are confirmed, Canio must put on a smile and entertain despite his broken heart. Numb to the ugliness of their world, the audience is left to interpret whether the plot before them is theater or reality

Kansas City Jazz Orchestra- In the Key of KC, Helzberg Hall, $20-$72

An official release party- excited to kick off their 21st season with a brand-new recording: In The Key of KC, and you’re invited to come celebrate the release! The Kansas City Jazz Orchestra is proud to reflect the great tradition of music from KC, and energized to present something you can’t hear anywhere else. Featuring new originals and swinging standards and the incredible talent of vocalist Eboni Fondren.

Motionless in White w Knocked Loose, After the Burial, Alpha Wolf, Uptown, Sold Out

It's being billed as their biggest headlining tour in North America to date as the band continues to tour on the strength of their most recent album, last year's Scoring the End of the World. The record peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard 200 chart upon release and features cuts in "Cyberhex," "Masterpiece," "Werewolf" and the title track, as well as "Slaughterhouse," which features a guest appearance by Knocked Loose vocalist Bryan Garris.

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 24

Owl City w Augustana, The Truman, sold out.

Minnesota electro pop artist Adam Young returns with new album, “Coco Moon”. He broke through with massive hit "Fireflies"-a 2009 release that reached No. 1 in 26 countries. "The goal with this new music was to get back to how I felt when I wrote my first song alone in my bedroom when I was 18 years old," Young says of Coco Moon, Owl City's seventh full-length effort and the follow-up to his powerhouse 2018 album Cinematic. "It was this very pure, euphoric moment when I realized that I could immediately be transported into another world that I'd made myself. I had no agenda beyond creating that feeling-it's why I got started making music, and it's what I want to keep fighting to attain."

Meanwhile, Dan Layus aka Augustana is well-known for its anthemic indie-rock leaning hits like "Boston," "Sweet and Low" and "Steal Your Heart," but changes gears somewhat on his latest studio album, "Everyday an Eternity: Solo Piano Works.”

Quarters of Change, the Bottleneck-Lawrence, $16-$19

Rising NYC indie rock quartet Quarters of Change are on the road for their 20-show Fall headline tour, in support of new album, Portraits set to arrive on January 26, so this show will be a preview of their new music. Never Ending Fall, The Blast Monkeys will open.

In advance of the upcoming album, the four [Ben Acker (guitar, bass, synths), Attila Anrather (drums), Jasper Harris (guitars, bass, synths), and Ben Roter (vocals, guitar] released singles "What I Wanted," "Hollywood Baby" and "Do or Die." They describe each single as a fragment of a larger portrait, hence the album’s name. In this body of work, the focus falls on themes of addiction, isolation, and exploration in this follow-up to their 2022 full-length debut, Into The Rift.

Bryce Vine The Interstate Tour, Liberty Hall- Lawrence, $29-$35

Since popping off with the double-platinum smashes “Drew Barrymore” and “La La Land”, Vine has tallied up more than 3 billion streams to date and delivered a series of performances on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! Nick Cannon Presents: Wild ’N Out, The Late Late Show with James Corden, Live with Kelly and Ryan, Good Morning America, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and more. He’s pushed himself and collaborated with the likes of Loud Luxury, Two Friends, Wale, lovelytheband, Train, FITZ, Cheat Codes, Parmalee, Jeremih, and more. Should be an energetic show--

MONDAY SEPTEMBER 25

Walter Isaacson (author) in conversation, Kauffman Center, $49-$70 (incl signed book)

The author will be in conversation with David Von Drehle of The Washington Post as he introduces his new book, Elon Musk. Each paid patron will receive an autographed copy of the book.

From the author of Steve Jobs and other bestselling biographies, Elon Musk is the astonishingly intimate story of one of the most fascinating and controversial innovators of our era—a rule-breaking visionary who helped to lead the world into the era of electric vehicles, private space exploration and artificial intelligence, and took over the platform now known as X.

Walter Isaacson is the bestselling author of biographies of Jennifer Doudna, Leonardo da Vinci, Steve Jobs, Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein. He is a professor of history at Tulane and was CEO of the Aspen Institute, chair of CNN and editor of Time. He was awarded the National Humanities Medal in 2023.

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 26

Nothing But Thieves, Truman, $27.50-$55

Nothing But Thieves are a UK rock band from Southend-On-Sea / Essex who formed in 2012, the band have racked up a cult following over the course of their career, putting out a total of five albums to date, with the most recent being 'Dead Club City' in July 2023 (on RCA/Sony Music). We caught them live last back in 2016 at Fine Line in Minneapolis, a quick return appearance following an in-demand and sold-out show at a smaller venue just a few months prior. Gritty Hastings, UK four-piece band Kid Kapichi will provide support.

Avenged Sevenfold w Falling in Reverse, T-Mobile Center, $34-$500.

A7F are back out on their Life is But A Dream…North American tour after releasing the group’s first single in seven years, “Nobody”,from their newest album Life is But A Dream… To date, Avenged Sevenfold have sold over 10 million albums worldwide and earned two consecutive No. 1 LPs on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart (2010’s Nightmare and 2013’s Hail To The King) to go along with over a billion video views and a billion-plus Spotify streams, as well as multiple No. 1 singles on rock radio. We last caught the band (M. Shadows, Synyster Gates, Zacky Vengeance, Johnny Christ and Brooks Wackerman) live as support for Metallica at the first-ever rock show at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

Falling in Reverse has amassed a song catalog that has already clocked over 2.7 billion streams. Another recent single "Voices In My Head" garnered over 95 million streams and was the #1 song of 2022 at SiriusXM's Octane, while "Zombified" has clocked 120 million and topped the active rock charts. Kim Dracula listed as support as well.

Brian Culbertson, The Midland, $49.50-$64.50

The jazz fusion multi-instrumentalist is out on his Trilogy Tour- over the course of crafting a 25-album catalog and building nearly 40 Billboard No. 1 singles as a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer, Culbertson has charted his own unique course. Label him jazz and he makes a funk record. Call him an R&B artist and he drops an acoustic jazz trio collection. Brand him pop and he creates a 32-minute New Age opus. Whether you’re listening to music from “The Trilogy” on record or live in concert, you’re hearing an eclectic, entertaining and engaging set from a peak artist.

Well, this is no way to start the new year--

“Postponed” seems to be the word for many shows, no thanks to the Omicron variant and record-high infections, but the silver lining is most shows are being delayed and not completely canceled. 

Thankfully, a few events have carried on, including most comedy dates, and we could all use a good laugh at the moment.  Highlight of the month is undoubtedly the solid triple-bill with Kacey Musgraves, King Princess, and MUNA at T-Mobile Center and (as of this writing) the Elton John show there, scheduled for Feb 1 (after a July 2020 delay) is still on, so there’s plenty of hope and things to look forward to.  Stay safe!

Given the current public health state, assume masks and/or vaccination proof are required for entry.

Poppy at Liberty Hall We Were Promised Jetpacks 2020 Tour Tennis at Madrid Theatre Destroyer at Granada Soul Asylum at Madrid Theatre Read More Poppy If it wasn’t winter, this is the show I would be happy to show up. It’s Poppy. That weird internet girl. The show is sold out. Poppy’s new album I Disagree is out now on Sumerian Records. …

Mid-February and the midwest finds itself in the dog days of winter. While Minnesota remains in the deep permafrost, the Kansas City area (still exhaling from the Chiefs Super Bowl win and subsequent massive parade) is in a weather pattern that is anything but predictable-- 72 and sunny on Super Sunday, then single-digit overnight lows soon after, then back to close to 60- wash, rinse, repeat.

There’s still plenty of reasons to go indoors and check out some live music as evidenced by the list of who’s coming to Kansas City / Lawrence, Kansas in the next couple weeks, plus it’s a Leap Year, so there’s one extra day to enjoy the month!

Here’s what’s happening in the area for the last half of February (a few recommended shows are highlighted):

Sun 02/16/2020

Mon 02/17/2020

Poppy at Liberty Hall – (8pm, $25+; Rescheduled from 2/16)- the social media maven and purposely difficult to pigeon-hole artist comes to Lawrence as part of a short solo tour, in-between bigger dates supporting Deftones. Taking influences from J-pop/K-pop, reggae and electro, she can be both alien and addictive, but mostly mesmerizing in concert. Arrive early to catch Vowws too.

Stone Temple Pilots at Uptown Theater – (POSTPONED due to singer Jeff Gutt’s back surgery)

MC Lars at The Riot Room

 

Tue 02/18/2020

Mattiel at The Riot Room

Matoma at Granada Theater

Electric Guest at Granada Theater

 

Thu 02/20/2020

Nghtmre At The Midland

Michael Angelo Batio at The Riot Room

Rapsody at Granada Theater

Fri 02/21/2020

We Were Promised Jetpacks at recordBar (7p doors, $20)– We’ve been fans of one of Scotland’s best for over ten years and the quartet has took only a momentary breath before returning with a back-to- basics approach that also looks forward with the earned collective maturity from its four founding members, and whose live show is always memorable. With support from Slaughter Beach, Dog.

Peekaboo at The Truman

Ross The Boss at The Riot Room

 

Sat 02/22/2020

Ross The Boss at The Riot Room

William Clark Green at Granada Theater

Golf Clap at Aura

Sun 02/23/2020

Dashboard Confessional + The Get Up Kids at The Truman (7p doors, $35) Emo makes a strong comeback as Chris Carrabba celebrates twenty years of his seminal, sing-a-long project and the bill is sweetened by Kansas City’s own Get Up Kids as support, themselves a major Midwest band in mid-90s emo.

Flatfoot 56 at The Riot Room

Kathy Mattea at Lied Center

 

Mon 02/24/2020

Falling In Reverse at The Truman

Another Lost Year at The Riot Room

 

Tue 02/25/2020

Christopher Paul Stelling at Minibar

Saint Motel at The Truman

 

Tue 02/25/2020

Tennis at Madrid Theatre (8p, $25+) Kansas City gets the privilege of being the opening date of the Swimmer Tour, with their fifth album released this Valentine’s Day, and this low-fi synth duo has steadily been building a solid fanbase. Be sure to come early as Austin, TX singer-songwriter Molly Burch opens in support.

Thu 02/27/2020

Cowboy Mouth at Knuckleheads

Starship feat Mickey Thomas at Prairie Band Casino & Resort

 

Fri 02/28/2020

Destroyer at Granada Theater (8p doors, $20/$22) Have We Met? That’s not only the name of Dan Bejar’s and co’s new record, but a sort-of invitation to catch them live in concert as well, if you haven’t. Though it’s 2020, the new album is self-described as a Y2K album intertwined with poetic and abstract compositions and eccentric lyrical content… consider us intrigued. Arriving early is mandatory as The Fiery Furnaces’ Eleanor Friedberger opens as support.

Soul Asylum + Local H at Madrid Theatre (7p doors, $28.50+) Minneapolis travels south as the Dave Pirner-fronted classic alt-rock band stops in town on their Dead Letter Tour, which also happens to be the name of their current single. The pride of Zion, IL, Local H provides support, determined to get everyone bound for the floor once more. Berwanger to open.

Lunasa at recordBar

Sat 02/29/2020

Dweezil Zappa at The Truman

Durand Jones and the Indications at The Bottleneck, Lawrence (7p doors, $15) We've caught this rising neo-soul group the last two years and watched them organically grow into more seasoned live performers.  The good thing is this is an all-ages show, so everyone can swoon and groove to their original sounds, as well as maybe a well chosen cover or two.  Kaina to open.

This is the same venue I saw Social Distortion play. The same stage that I saw Sage Francis play on. And there were my boys. ....

American rock band Falling in Reverse just headlined the Skyway Theatre in Minneapolis on Thursday night, September 27, in support of their new album Coming Home (released in 2017 via legendary punk label Epitaph Records).

Unfortunately, due to Visa issues, Melbourne’s Ocean Grove had to cancel their entire U.S. tour.

The Australian band sent in this heartfelt explanation:

The universe wasn’t on our side this time, and it saddens us all to announce that our tour of the United States this September/October has now been cancelled. This is due to the prolonged bureaucracy of obtaining work visas. While frustrating, this is a process we have to treat with legitimacy as to not jeopardize our careers and the many more US tours we will embark on in the future.

US fans don’t fret, we will be in your country soon enough playing shows, with news of that coming very shortly. We are so sorry to any other bands or fans who this has let down. In our eyes this isn’t a setback, but just the world reassuring us that good things come to those who wait. We will see you soon USA

Stepping in at the last minute was local metal band By The Thousands (bassist Adam Sullivan, drummer Carlos Monserrate, guitarist Dustin Korth, guitarist John Riviere, and vocalist Hondo Torres-Pena). We previously caught them in Iowa in 2015 and noted, “Their music sounded great, as always. It was clean and tight and perfect. I could hear the people around us talking about how great they sounded and I couldn’t help but let the smile creep across my face.”

If you’ve never seen By the Thousands, sometime they have a “Cookie Monster” metal sound, and by the end of their set, singer Hondo Torres-Pena would often do some heavy head banging with his hair let loose.

Massachusetts-based All That Remains (Philip Labonte Oli Herbert, Mike Martin, Jason Costa, and Aaron Patrick) came on next, playing some tracks from the new album Madness (Razor & Tie Records). All That Remains is unique in that they crossed over many musical genre, including pop/punk and country music, which they demonstrated with a cover of the great Garth Brooks’ ‘The Thunder Rolls’. Believe me, you haven’t lived until you see body surfing to a country song.

When asked why they decided to cover ‘The Thunder Rolls’, former Shadows Fall and current All That Remains vocalist, Phil Labonte said, “We’re continuing to push what people’s notion of what All That Remains is and what we’re allowed to do and what we’re willing to do, in what ways we’re willing to go and experiment… That's always our point -- How can we reach out to new people?”

We last saw the group at the Skyway Theatre in 2015, when they were touring for The Order Of Things (their 7th studio album on Razor & Tie).

Now back with Madness (also on Razor & Tie), this is one of the band’s biggest hit album to date, hitting #1 US Top Hard Rock Albums and #9 US Top Rock Albums charts. The band was obligated to play a few tracks from the album, including the previously mentioned Garth Brooks cover and the title track, ‘Madness’ which started their set.

Highlight of their set was ‘What If I Was Nothing?’, a song done in the styles of “an 80s power ballad”, as Labonte explained. It was as epic as you would imagine the song to be live.

Falling In Reverse (singer Ronnie Radke, rhythm guitarist Derek Jones, bassist Zakk Sandler, guitarist Christian Thompson, and drummer Chris Kamrada) was last seen touring with Atreyu for their Christmas Vacation tour, right after their Supervillains Tour (with Attila, Metro Station, and Assuming We Survive), and now they are on their Coming Home Tour. At this point, the band is never going back home to Las Vegas.

Although it was clear that vocalist Ronnie Radke was sick, due to his raspy voice, Radke said he wouldn’t cancel the show because of his fans. He gave it his all, jumping, screaming “mother****rs!” and being his usual hyperactive self. If this was an ill Radke, wait until you see Radke in tip top form.

Although their new album Coming Home just came out, they did play it a little safe by playing some of their biggest hit from their #1 third album Just Like You, such as ‘God, If You Are Above ...’, which, a woman fan in the front had taken off her bra and tossed it to Radke.

The remainder of their set was basically dedicated to Coming Home, so if you love the new album, you’ll love this current tour.

Boston’s Palehound is headlining the 7th Street Entry in support of their critically acclaimed sophomore album, A Place I'll Always Go (Polyvinyl Record Co.)

We caught the band in November 2015 and wrote, “Palehound seemed to have as many fans at the show as Mitski. Not only because they are Pitchfork darlings. Delivering a somber, yet engaged set to an attentive audience, it’s clear that Ellen Kempner really cares about her story and craft. Her soundscape could be considered standard indie rock if it wasn’t for the evocative, sincere lyrics and almost new wave guitar noodling that she weaves in. Live she adds a bit of fury to the songs with some strong well placed shrieks. Her band is also very tight, and I enjoyed the tone and trot that the bassist brought. I’m definitely interested in what else Ellen decides to create as Palehound.”

Tall Friend and Strange Relations will open.
