“Do ya wanna get rocked?!”

The big show of the week is the four-act arena rock show headlined by Def Leppard and Motley Crue taking place outdoors at the home of the KC Royals (with VIP tix topping at almost $1K!). Temps look to be in the triple-digits for most of the week, so stay hydrated out there.

Covid concerns continue as both the Earth Wind and Fire and Kansas/.38 Special shows were scuttled last week due to band/crew infections, so take precautions and check those band and venue social channels for any last-minute schedule changes.

Here’s what’s happening in the Kansas City/Lawrence, KS metro July 18^th\ – 25^th

(Several artists still require precautions for entry- check with the venue for specific details regarding vaxx proof/masks)

Monday July 18

Tuesday July 19

Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe with Poison and Joan Jett and The Blackhearts, Kauffman Stadium. $49.50-$945

Back in the late ‘80s, each of these acts respectively could have filled an arena on their own, flash-forward a few decades and they’ve combined forces for an entertaining day at the ballpark.

We’ve seen each separately but not all together, and have to admit, are still a little put out by Mötley Crüe returning after a signed and so-called “final tour” last time out, when we saw them last in 2015. Seeing singer Vince Neil open in 2019 left us a little cold as well, so fingers crossed for better things.

Def Leppard, on the other hand, have a solid new album out, Diamond Star Halos, their twelfth full length and first since 2015. Despite a few recent health scares, Poison continues on as does Joan Jett, a recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member who finally unplugged on 2022’s Acoustics album.

An early 4:30p start time and parking costs start in advance at $30, so plan accordingly.

Motion City Soundtrack, Granada. $34.50

Minneapolis still claims them as hometown heroes and after a pandemic delay, Motion City Soundtrack is currently on their Commit This To Memory 17 Year Anniversary Tour.

Charleston, SC indie band All Get Out has new album, Kodak out, and Long Island musician /vocalist Neil Rubenstein both are scheduled to open.

Dave Mason, Liberty Hall, $45-$124

Decades later, there’s still “only you and me and we just disagree”. The longtime musician best known as a member of Traffic will undoubtedly have you “Feelin’ Alright”.

Wednesday July 20

Thursday July 21

Maren Morris, Starlight, $29.75-$99.75

The GRAMMY-winning country singer-songwriter headlines in support of her newest album, Humble Quest. She began writing the new album songs at the beginning of the pandemic as a series of life changes unfolded—new motherhood, an upended career, the death of her friend and collaborator Michael Busbee, and more.

Live, she of course plays dance hit, “The Middle” and has also been working in a Fiona Apple cover.

Sheryl Crow, GrindersKC. $75-$99

The Missouri native was just recently in town for the Big Slick charity weekend, and this is a chance to see her full set and outdoors. New song “Forever” is one of her best, and is from Sheryl, her recent documentary and accompanying soundtrack album. She’s also working in a Rolling Stones cover into her live show.

Animal Collective, The Truman, $33-$38

Covid postponed this show previously, with all previous tickets being honored- The Baltimore experimental pop art band is back on the road on their Time Skiffs Tour, named after their Feb-released new album, which featured the return of member Deakin, who had sat out the previous release. We last saw them at the Desert Daze Fest in 2019.

Opening on this solid double-bill is Philadelphia’s Spirit of the Beehive, supporting fourth album, Entertainment, Death, which came out last summer and they play somewhat similar psychedelic, experimental pop rock.

Jeff Rosenstock, Bottleneck-Lawrence, $20

The busy Long Island multi-instrumentalist is out in support of last year’s Ska Dream album, and also released one with the Bruce Lee Band, and runs his own label as well. You may have caught him recently on Late Night with Seth Myers performing with buddies in PUP.

Nnamdi, Catbite listed as support.

Chase Rice w Travis Denning, Power & Light District, $20

The former college linebacker and pit crew member is out in support of last year’s appropriately titled The Album, which was a combination of two previous EPs and features the single, “Drinkin Beer, Talkin’ God, Amen”

Friday July 22

Josh Groban, Starlight. $35-$199.50

The Harmony Tour is the first opportunity Groban has had to play songs for a live audience from his 2020 album, Harmony (on Warner Brothers), as a result of the pandemic delay. Groban is a Tony®, EMMY®, and four-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated singer and songwriter, who can still lift you up with one of the most instantly recognizable voices in music. Live, he’s been singing his own songs, as well as those from Frank Sinatra, Peter Gabriel, Robbie Williams, Kenny Loggins and more.

We last saw him back in 2013 (he even recorded an album in Minneapolis), so we’re overdue to catch him live again.

Support acts include Preservation Hall Jazz Band to insure an entertaining and full night of music.

Scarface, The Truman CANCELED

Saturday July 23

John Mulaney (comedian), Starlight. $39.50-$149.50

The two-time Emmy and WGA award-winning writer and comedian has had an eventful last few years, including a divorce, intervention, stint in rehab, and new baby, all of which he happily and humorously details in his live set.

(note: this is a No-Phone show- secure pouches will be provided)

Keller Williams’ Grateful Grass featuring The Hillbenders,  Knuckleheads. $27.50-$47.50, two shows early and late.

Loose interpretations of Grateful Dead songs in a Bluegrass manner by this talented assemblage.

Crystal Method, Aura Nightclub, $35

The Las Vegas electronic hit makers are back on the road in support of new album The Trip Out, and it was a bit odd to see them on recent NBC reality show American Song Contest.

Molly Hatchet Sac and Fox Casino-Powhatten, Free

Are they still “flirtin’ with disaster” if there are no original members left? I guess the answer is “Yes” as they do feature a guitarist and keyboardist that were members in the mid-80s, and with a new vocalist, will be playing all the favorites.

FYI, they return to the area over Labor Day weekend, for a bike rally near Lake Perry as well.

Sunday July 24

Monday July 25

King Princess w Dora Jar,Arvest Theatre at The Midland, $25-$49.50

The only bummer of catching them live back in January on the Kacey Musgraves tour, was that technical difficulties cut their set drastically short. Aka Mikaela Straus did apologize, and the crowd did get to hear single “Little Bother”, a collaboration with NY soul singer Fousheé, and “For My Friends”, both a preview of the upcoming record Hold On Baby, due out July 29.

Boy Harsher, recordBar. $20

The Georgia darkwave duo of Jae Matthews and producer Augustus Muller is touring in support of new album The Runner (Original Soundtrack) which accompanies their own conceptual film (on their own Nude Club/City Slang label).

Opener Hiro Kone is aka Nicky Mao, a New York based experimental electronic / techno producer, out in support of last year’s Silvercoat the throng

CHELSEA WOLFE
chelseawolfe.net

Renowned songstress Chelsea Wolfe recently released two unreleased songs from her Birth of Violence sessions: a cover of Joni Mitchell’s “Woodstock” and original “Green Altar”.

Both songs didn’t make it onto the album, but they have special meaning to Wolfe.

We look forward to seeing her back on tour, having last seen her in Aug 2015 and noted, “In typical Wolfe entrance, the entire room was in darkness and one by one the band marched on stage. I've never actually been close to the stage for one of Wolfe's show, so this was the first time that I noticed that there is a distinct smell of incense. Wolfe, in a long black dress with one exposed sleeveless arm and an oddly large patch at the bottom of her dress, started into a banshee-like chorus of "Carrion Flowers".”

Chelsea Wolfe will be playing at Substance LA at The Belasco in Los Angeles on November 26.

Los Angeles’ Remi Wolf was last seen in Minneapolis with Cautious Clay (aka Josh Karpeh), in December 2019.

Her debut album Juno is coming out October 15th, and they described her music as “ever-present personality, charisma, and unique eye have established her as a Gen Z pop scene darling, amassing an avid fanbase (affectionately referred to as “Remjobs”). Not just a fan favorite, Remi has caught on with industry trendsetters as well.”

We♥KC - August 16-31 2021 Upcoming Shows (Kansas City / Lawrence, KS)

Planet Comicon Kansas City (August 20, 21, 22)  Billy Bob Thornton and The Boxmasters at Jayhawk Theater  Elvis Costello and The Imposters at Uptown   Moon Taxi at The Truman   Joan Jett & The Blackhearts and Cheap Trick at Starlight   Waxahatchee at Knuckleheads   Read More Elvis Costello I've seen Elvis Costello at the Berkeley Theater before. I was there to cover Sleeper, the opening band. We had pretty awful seats, I had brought some friends along. They wanted to leave, but not until he played "Veronica" ...

Things remain in flux as new strains of the virus seem to have things take a step back instead of forward.

In the Kansas City / Lawrence, KS area, concerts still commence, but often with added protocols, last-minute cancellations, and location changes, so check those venue, band, and social sites before heading out.

Shakey Graves postponed his show to Sept 23, Wilco/Sleater-Kinney was moved to an outdoor venue, and the already-postponed Burton Cummings show at Lied Center, is now off all together. 

The first half of the month had its highlights- Foo Fighters answered concert protesters from the Westboro Baptist Church, by boarding an open-bed truck and serenading the picketers with a The Bee Gees cover and messages of love and inclusion, and The Bottleneck hosted a surprise and first full-concert ever from Mammoth WVH, with mom Valerie Bertinelli watching son Wolfgang Van Halen and band, proudly from the wings. 

Back in Minneapolis, First Avenue and its associated venues have mandated vaccination/negative test proof for entry, and in Kansas City, recordBar was the first to require vaxx proof with AEG venues (Midland, The Truman) quickly following suit. 

Some artists are requiring proof as well, at all stops on their tour including Japanese Breakfast, and Neko Case (both coming to Lawrence soon) so this is becoming the rule, not the exception. 

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

Fri 08/20/2021
Billy Bob Thornton and The Boxmasters, Knuckleheads. $25-$45
Planet ComiCon Kansas City (August 20, 21, 22), Bartle Hall, $35-210
The region’s largest comic book and pop culture event returns to downtown Kansas City with a three-day extravaganza that will please fans from all genres. 

Much like a superhero, masks will be required indoors, but attendees can revel in appearances by many of the Supernatural cast (and the car!), Arrow’s Stephen Amell and Katie Cassidy, and retro stars like Barry and Cindy Williams, Greg Brady and Shirley Feeney respectively. 

Comic fans can look forward to legend Roy Thomas, DC artist Doug Manhke, Disney’s Don Rosa, The Simpsons’ Bill Morrison, and many more. 

Koe Wetzel, Kansas City Live! $30-$70

Sat 08/21/2021
Deicide and Kataklysm, Riot Room. $25

Head East with Goddesses of Rock, Kearney Amphitheater. $20

Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Ameristar. $35-$50

Between The Buried and Me, Liberty Hall, Lawrence (moved from Granada). $25.

Mon 08/23/2021
Billy Bob Thornton and The Boxmasters, Jayhawk Theater- Topeka. $65/$75
The second of two area shows, this one at a restored and reopened 1926 theater in downtown Topeka.  The Boxmasters’ Billy Bob Thornton and J.D. Andrew are in town for their 10th album and Light Rays Tour. The band formed in 2007 and released their self-titled debut album in 2008. Local artist Ellie Smith will open and a bar and concessions will be available.

Wed 08/25/2021
Helen Gillet, 1900 Building. $25

Fri 08/27/2021
Elvis Costello and The Imposters, Uptown. $55-$150
Moon Taxi, The Truman. $29.50-$60

We recently mentioned this rising Nashville five-piece here, who were also on an episode of AXS TV’s new series, If These Walls Could Rock, from the Bluegrass Underground caverns  in Tennessee.  The new album is called Silver Dream (on BMG Records) and bring along Sparkle City Disco as openers.

David Allan Coe, Knuckleheads. $37.50

The Fab Four, Arvest Bank Theatre at the Midland. $29.50-$45

Sun 08/29/2021
Joan Jett & The Blackhearts and Cheap Trick, Starlight. $19.75-$129.50
It’s hard to go wrong with these two legendary classic rock bands (both Rock and Roll Hall Fame inductees) especially if you don’t mind being in the back for less than $20.  Joan Jett boasts nine Top 40 singles, while Cheap Trick has sold more than 20 million records since its formation in 1974 Rockford, IL.  Expect plenty to sing or hum along to.

Martina McBride with Hailey Whitters, Kauffman Center. $39-$119

Mon 08/30/2021
Louis The Child with Whethan, Arvest Bank Theatre at the Midland. $34-$45

Trombone Shorty with Orleans Avenue, Knuckleheads. $34-$74

Tue 08/31/2021
Waxahatchee, Knuckleheads. Sold out.
Recently mentioned here, aka Katie Crutchfield has settled in nicely to her recent home base of KC (via Alabama), and celebrates her latest release, Saint Cloud (on Merge Records) with a long sold-out, tour-opening show and the chance to catch new and old songs live, along with probably a few choice cover songs.  Anyone that happened to attend the Aug 4th Wynonna show at this same venue, were pleasantly surprised when Crutchfield joined the country legend onstage for a few songs.

Legendary Grateful Dead founder Bobby Weir will be playing live at the UC Berkeley Greek Theatre on July 24th. The show is billed as Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros.

REMI WOLF
remiwolf.com

Dog lover Remi Wolf (she wrote “You're A Dog!”, “I'm Allergic To Dogs!”, “We Love Dogs!”, etc) recently released her new standalone solo track “Liz”.

Apparently the song isn’t that new - Wolf would perform “Liz” at her live shows, but only recently decide to release an official version as a thank you to her loyal fans: “I wanted to share “Liz" as a gift to my little Remjobs who have been with me since the beginning and have been asking for this song everyday over the last few years. I’ve been performing “Liz" on tour for forever and to finally have a studio version I’m proud of and can share with my OG babies feels like a weight has been lifted off my chest. This record shows a different side of my work...I felt so happy and free creating this song and I hope it makes whoever is listening feel the same.”

If you like dance/art rock, you can hear Beck and Hot Chip influences in her songs.

DANA AND THE WOLF danaandthewolf.com Burbank-based Dana and the Wolf (Dana Hobson and Daniel Wolf) recently released “2 Lovers.” The song is, obviously, about two lovers, and Dana talked about her frustrations about people’s misunderstanding about open relationships, “Every time I hear about someone being poly, they’re either misusing the word or saying it like a whisper. I just am so sick of people pussy footing around something that is not only a better lifestyle to live, but makes more sense to humankind. So I’m gonna be the mother f**ker that stands up and says ‘I’m non-monogamous, and if you’re not, you’re a f**king idiot.’”

MASKED WOLF maskedwolf.com Australian rapper Masked Wolf recently dropped his brand new track “Gravity Glidin’.” Masked Wolf described the song, “‘Gravity Glidin’ is the response to Astro. Where ‘Astronaut In The Ocean’ is about not being where I should be, this song is about me feeling like I’ve found my place and finally gliding through the environment I was born to be in.” Masked Wolf is referring to his Top 40 (at #10) radio hit song “Astronaut In The Ocean”. In addition, the song spent 14 weeks in Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #6 and holding at #11.

SKOTT skottmusic.com “Wolf” (acoustic version) is the new single from critically acclaimed Swedish singer, songwriter, and producer Skott. The song is taken from her Chapter I (Acoustic) EP. Apparently, the stripped-down “Wolf” version was a result of Katy Perry, as Skott said, “I wrote it about the lonely sound of heartbreak, and then all of a sudden Katy Perry’s tweeting me about it. I wanted to make a stripped down version where the lyrics have even more room to do their thing, in a calmer landscape than the more orchestral-ish original. This has always been my favorite song to sing live.”

JULIA WOLF twitter.com/juliawolfnyc Italian-American indie-pop artist from Queens, NY, Julia Wolf (aka WOLF) released “RBF: Part 1,” an exclusive Spotify Singles track as a part of the platform’s first-ever Fresh Finds program. Wolf explains the title, “I’ve been told I can have a ‘resting b*tch face,’ which I used to take personally but now I know it's not a negative thing. I've learned over the years how being too nice can translate to people taking advantage of you and, growing up especially, I was overly accepting of that behavior... being certain of yourself and finding that power in you to say ‘No’ can also label you as a ‘b*tch.’ In a twisted way it feels like a compliment that I'm doing something right.”

Minneapolis: July 11 to July 13, 2019

Basilica Block Party 2019 Read More Basilica Block Party We like the annual Basilica Block Party in Minneapolis, so we always make sure they get the spotlight whenever we do these previews.

The 25th Annual Basilica Block Party is taking place this July 12-13. As usual, the Minneapolis music festival is bringing in some of the national musical acts to the Twin Cities.

Kacey Musgraves and Dawes to be the highlight on Friday, while Jason Mraz and Hanson to take Saturday.

Personally speaking though, we like the medium stage, particularly Semisonic and The Jayhawks (for Friday) and Chvrches and Metric (for Saturday).

The last time we saw Chvrches, we noted, “Martin Doherty summed it up on stage, ‘It’s nice to be back. Time and time again, you keep selling out every time we come here. Thank you for that.’”

Kate Stables (aka This Is The Kit) returns to the Turf Club this July 11th. We last saw her in Oct 2017 and said, “On this tour, This Is the Kit (Kate Stables) is joined by bassist Jesse Vernon and drummer Jamie Whitby-Coles. She started off with a solo song ‘Easy on the Thieves’, then as a trio, then back to solo with ‘All Written out in Numbers’. Stables often tuned between songs, making for awkward unfinished stories and comments. She played acoustic guitar, but it seemed like she’s most comfortable when she’s plucking on her banjo.”

Bumblebee Poster Read More Transformers With the recent Transformers: The Last Knight in theaters this week (June 21, 2017), Best Buy is selling exclusive steelbook versions of all the previous Transformers films. I actually own three of the film DVD or Blu-Ray already . ...

BUMBLEBEE
facebook.com/bumblebeemovie

In the forthcoming Bumblebee film (to be release on December 21, 2018), a spinoff of the popular Transformers films, actress Hailee Steinfeld (as Charlie Watson) is seen wearing a The Smiths T-Shirt in the film trailer (youtube.com). As a teenager music fan, she’s also seen wearing a Motorhead and Rolling Stones T-Shirt.

This isn’t the first time the Transformers films have shown The Smiths, in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, there is a poster of The Smiths’ Meat is Murder on the walls of Shia Labeouf’s room.

I’ll be honest, although I am a fan of the original 80s cartoon and action figures and own all the Transformers films on Bluray... I have never really love the live action films. It’s visually a mess, and the story is boring. It’s unlikely that I’ll go see Bumblebee in theaters, but I will likely pick it up if they release it on Steelbook.

Still, the trailer’s tone is light-hearted (except for that looming-doomy ending).

Description of Bumblebee:

On the run in the year 1987, Bumblebee finds refuge in a junkyard in a small Californian beach town. Charlie (Hailee Steinfeld), on the cusp of turning 18 and trying to find her place in the world, discovers Bumblebee, battle-scarred and broken. When Charlie revives him, she quickly learns this is no ordinary, yellow VW bug.

Minnesota State Fair: August 21 to September 1

Patti Smith and Kevin Shields Present: The Coral Sea
I'm very excited to mention that Patti Smith (pattismith.net) is teaming up with Kevin Shields (myspace.com/kkevinsshields), from My Bloody Valentine, to release a 2-disc set of their live performance of The Coral Sea on July 11th.

The recording are from sold-out performances and from my understanding, it includes guitars by Shields with Smith on spoken words, reading poetry.

It should be interesting to hear more of this, and I'll keep you updated as soon as I hear more.

The Time Of The Assassins Announce USA 'Awake In Slumberland' Tour
I have been playing Assassin's Creed on the PS3, so I thought it would be nice to mention Melbourne Australia's The Time Of The Assassins (thetimeoftheassassins.com) who announced their US tour dates a few weeks ago. I don't actually any of their music (too lazy/I have too much music to work to request more), but they seem punk to me.

Judging from their tour dates, they are doing extreme west and east coast.
