Prost! October, Rocktober, and Oktoberfest celebrations seem to be in full swing, and while it’s been unseasonably warm, things are soon to change and jacket weather is coming. Plenty to keep you busy on the first full weekend of the month, in terms of live music.

Let’s take look at the Kansas City / Lawrence KS/ Topeka KS metro musical happenings for the upcoming weekend, from October 6th-October 8th.

FRIDAY OCTOBER 6

Sammy Rae and The Friends, Madrid Theatre, $54-$59

Sammy Rae & The Friends is a collective of seven musicians who “consider themselves a family first.” The fans in the crowd for their shows are also a part of the energy, so much so that they lovingly call them “friends” as well.

Hailing from Brooklyn and producing a sound that merges ‘70s funk artists as well as today's pop rock hits, they have a first-ever, 18-track live album “The If It All Goes South Tour (Live)”. We caught them live previously at a Halloween night gig and are a little sad this stop isn’t on Oct. 31^st too.

Amos Lee w/Mutlu, Liberty Hall- Lawrence, $39-$89

On his eighth album Dreamland, the Philadelphia-born singer/songwriter intimately documents his real-world struggles (alienation, anxiety, loneliness, despair), an outpouring born from deliberate and often painful self-examination. “For most of my life I’ve walked into rooms thinking, ‘I don’t belong here,’” says Lee. “I’ve come to the realization that I’m too comfortable as an isolated person, and I want to reach out more.

This record came from questioning my connections to other people, to myself, to my past, and to the future.” Additionally, it was inspired by Johann Hari’s 2018 book Lost Connections. And, on RSD Black Friday (24 Nov), look for his tribute album to one of his (and our) musical idols, Lucinda Williams with his Honeysuckle Switches release.

Arrive early for Mutlu (Onaral), a soul singer also from Philly. who is a first generation American of Turkish ancestry. He released his first five-song EP in 2004 and has served as the guitarist for Lee at live shows.

Oak Ridge Boys, Ameristar Casino, $45-$60

One last “pa pa mow-mow”! This month, longtime members — Duane Allen, Joe Bonsall, William Lee Golden and Richard Sterban will celebrate their 50th celebration, and has announced this as their American Made: Farewell Tour.

Though the quartet has origins running back to the 1940s, it was this collective that propelled the group to commercial heights. Known for their distinct harmonies, the group earned four CMA Awards trophies and five Grammy wins. They’ve been recognized with the highest honors from the Country Music Hall of Fame (2015), the Grand Ole Opry (2011), the Gospel Music Hall of Fame and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.

The Wonder Years, The Truman, $29.50-$60

Winnie Cooper’s favorite band has been celebrating the 10th anniversary of their album The Greatest Generation with a box set reissue and their own Philly fest, and this tour that will find them performing the LP. Support comes from three newer punk/emo bands, Anxious, Sweet Pill, and Action/Adventure, all of whom also play the band’s Philly fest.

The Band Camino, Bad Suns, and The Wldlfe, The Midland, $34.50-$59.50

The Memphis/Nashville alt-rock trio are out on their Screaming in the Dark Tour, new and second studio album, The Dark, was released on August 11. Joining the tour will be Woodlands Hills, CA alternative-rock band Bad Suns, who are best known for their debut studio album, Language & Perspective, which was released in June 2014, peaking at number 24 on the Billboard 200 album chart.

Casting Crowns, Topeka Performing Arts Center, $43-$203.

The multi-platinum-selling Grammy winners are out on their 20th Anniversary Tour: A Live Symphony Experience. Featuring hit songs from the band’s current Healer album (“Scars In Heaven,” “Crazy People”), concert goers will also experience a night of worship celebrating a two-decade repertoire of songs like “Only Jesus,” “Nobody,” “Praise You In This Storm,” “East To West” and many more. For the first time ever, the band will be joined by a live symphony on this special anniversary tour.

Flo Rida at Late Night in the Phog, Allen Fieldhouse- Lawrence, Free but sold out

Kansas Athletics has announced that the KU basketball scrimmages at Late Night in the Phog will be streamed on ESPN+, KUATHLETICS.COM, and Facebook Watch. The event will feature performances by Flo Rida and include enhancements such as music by the KU Pep Band and DJ Heat, routines from KU’s spirit squad and dance teams, and enhanced coach and player interactions. Fans are encouraged to bring non-perishable food donations to support Just Food of Douglas County.

SATURDAY OCTOBER 7

Melvins w/ Boris, Bottleneck- Lawrence, SOLD OUT

Out on their monsterous "Twins of Evil" tour, a 43-date trek through the United States which will find each band playing one of their classic albums in full. For Melvins, they'll be celebrating their 1991 underground classic Bullhead, while Boris will perform all if 2002's Heavy Rocks, making it a can't-miss night for fans of sludgy, experimental heavy music. And FYI, Boris named themselves after one of the cuts on Bullhead, which is meta. If you slept on getting tix, lesson learned hopefully.

Dean Lewis, The Truman, $25-$50

We caught caught the Aussie singer-songwriter on the sold-out first show of the US portion of his tour a couple weeks ago, supporting 2022’s The Hardest Love, with most recent single being, “How Do I Say Goodbye?”. Live, he worked in covers by fellow Aussie Amy Shark and also Coldplay and is best known for 2016 single, “Waves” and 2018’s “Be Alright.”

moe. Liberty Hall- Lawrence, $30-$75

After a summer leg and assorted festivals, the longtime Buffalo jam band embarks on a mostly Midwest 16-date Fall leg, with most recent work being 2020’s Not Normal EP, but it doesn’t matter as it’s all about the jamming, man!

Scary Pockets, Granada-Lawrence,$25-$30

After a Spring North American run and then summer overseas, the viral funk collective led by Ryan Lerman and Patreon co-founder and CEO Jack Conte and known for its playful and unique covers, are back on the road for a Fall leg. Swatkins and The Positive Agenda are scheduled as support.

Temptations, Ameristar Casino, $55-$75

The classic Motown vocal group may not look the same as in theiir glory days, but the hits are too numerous to count. Ranked #1 in Billboard magazine’s most recent list of the “Greatest R&B/Hip-Hop Artists of All Time,” The Temptations also appear in the magazine’s 125th Anniversary list of the “125 Greatest of All Time Artists.

SUNDAY OCTOBER 8

The Mars Volta with Teri Gender Bender, Uptown. $59-$237

The post-prog-rockers just released the album Que Dios Te Maldiga Mi Corazón, an acoustic re-working of their 2022 reunion album, the self-titled pop-ish and slower The Mars Volta, which was their first LP in a decade. Lead singer Cedric Bixler-Zavala and guitarist-producer Omar Rodriguez-Lopez formed the modern classic band after the 2001 breakup of their band At the Drive-In and this show should be musically amazing.

Be sure to be early for Teri Gender Bender, the singer and musician known primarily as the founding member, lead singer, and guitarist of Guadalajara-based rock band Le Butcherettes. With TMV’s Rodríguez-López, she is also a member of Bosnian Rainbows for the last decade as well as Crystal Fairy and Kimono Kult, so you could say is busy. Her performance persona and artistry have been compared to Björk, Siouxsie Sioux, Karen O.

Koo Koo (Kanga Roo), recordBar, $25.49

Equally playing live in front of children or party-ready adults, the Minneapolis pair is a dance experience for the senses. For the last 15 years, lifelong friends and collaborators Bryan and Neil have toured the globe delighting fans with their high-energy music, positivity, and interactive live show.

They cut their teeth on the road, playing everything from DIY basements and birthday parties, to sharing main-stages with a wide array of acts like Yo Gabba Gabba, The Aquabats, and Frank Turner. Out in support of their 2021 album, Slow Clap, apparently, they just shortened their name as well.

Highly Suspect is not only kicking off their 2022 fall headlining tour in Minneapolis… but they are playing a two-night residency at First Avenue on Sep 16 and Sep 17.

The band’s latest album, The Midnight Demon Club will be out on September 9th.

We last saw Highly Suspect on Mar 31, 2017 and said, “It wasn’t too long before Highly Suspect took the stage to a very restless sold out audience. Any possible signs that the band was on stage were greeted with huge cheers (even for the awkward stage hand who was just trying to adjust the mic). As we previously mentioned, we caught the band as opener in September 2015 and were impressed that more than half the audience was there for Highly Suspect.”

Alice Glass ( of Crystal Castles )
with Uffie
at Amsterdam Bar & Hall

If you are a fan of Crystal Castles, you all know what happened, Alice Glass accused her music partner Ethan Kath of sexual, physical, and mental abuse and left the band in 2017. Since then, Glass produced music under Alice Glass.

Alice Glass’ official debut album is called PREY//IV, and is out now via Eating Glass Records.

Speaking about the new project Glass shares, “I hope this record reaches those who need to know that they are not alone in this world—who need to know that it’s ok to be hurting. I hope, for some, that it will give them the courage to find a path away from the toxic situations they are experiencing.”

On the autumn days in the middle of October (thank god because we would all melt in the otherwise typical days of such shenanigans) will bestow the 6th installation of the transcendent music festival Desert Daze in Joshua Tree, California. It is known that J Tree (as us locals call it) has a somewhat spiritual energy about it, and musicians have been flocking there for years to get juiced on the wondrous inspiration that the desert embodies. So it’s fitting that some of the most eclectic artists in the game right now would be part of this special lineup. Music lovers camp onsite under the stars for this 4 day event.

While last year’s lineup was oodles of impressive (Washed Out, Deerhunter and The Black Angels, to name a few) this year will be equally scintillating. Thursday night John Dayer of On Sees and Troy Bootow of Death Hymn Number 9 will DJ, amongst other special guests. Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile and the Sea Lice will be kicking off Friday, playing tunes from their collaborative album that is expected to be released later this year. Adult Swim will present Things You’ve Never Seen in a Desert!, and Prettiest Eyes (a local LA band), Panda Bear, Ariel Pink, Liars, Boris, La Femme, The Budos Band, Lee Fields & the Expressions will follow, amongst others.

Saturday and Sunday will be filled with Iggy Pop, John Cale, Tortoise, The Gories, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Emily Haines & the Soft Skeleton, Twin Peaks, Avey Tare, Mr. Elevator, JJUUJJUU, Mint Field, Spiritualized, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions, Eagles of Death Metal, Allah-Las, Atlas Sound, John Dwyer DJ set, Khruangbin, Cigarettes After Sex, Weyes Blood, L.A. Witch, Jerry Paper, Death Valley Girls, and Fever the Ghost. Weyes Blood will by far be the of the upmost importance for moi, as her latest album Front Row Seat To The Earth has been in heavy rotation for the past year.

Danny Perez, Mad Alchemy Liquid Light Show, Billgazer, The Blindspot Project, and Cloaking will provide all three outdoor stages with projections all weekend long.

Sonic performances will run alongside panel speakers, curated daily film screenings, and the Mystic Bazaar’s daily schedule of metaphysical workshops.

The Institute of Mentalphysics, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and Son, founded by Ding Le Mei, a westerner turned Tibetan Monk, is the oldest and largest spiritual retreat center in the western United States. The beautifully maintained grounds of garden paths, fountains, labyrinths and captivating architecture rest atop a rare confluence of three underground aquifers and a measurable magnetic field which causes a palpable energetic effect on those who visit. Audience members have the chance of staying in one of Wright’s on site cottages, or camping under the vast, twinkling desert sky. Limited in capacity to provide the kind of personal experience that just can’t be had at larger festivals, you don’t just go to Desert Daze, you profoundly experience Desert Daze.

Japanese trio Boris will be performing Pink in its entirety to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of their record. That’s not all, you can get a chance to pick up a new Deluxe Edition of Pink, featuring the original track listing, plus unreleased tracks on a glorious 3xLP box set or 2xCD set.

It’s hard to believe that Boris still maintained their classic trio lineup for over 20 years and really hasn’t showed signs of slowing down.

Sargent House’s new labelmates Earth will join Boris for the USA dates (sorry, Canada and your “work Visas”).

Also newspaper unfriendly band name Sh**storm will open.

Ke$ha

Oh, god, I don't even know why I love Ke$ha. The first time I heard "Tik Tok" from her debut album Animal, I had to stop and ask "who IS THIS?". After investigating / hearing more …

KESHA
at Aria
Thursday, 08/18/16, 7:30pm ($28 / Sold Out)
ariampls.com

Popstar Kesha is now free to work on (new) music (Zedd and Kesha's recent single ‘True Colors’ is out now on Interscope / Kemosabe / RCA Records). It should be noted that ‘True Colors’ is Kesha's first music in over three years since her court case with former producer Dr. Luke.

The new tour is called “F**k the World” tour, and billed as Kesha and the Creepies, which we are assuming The Creepies is her live band.

Kesha adds, “The day has come that I, now, present to you, Kesha and The Creepies. This project and upcoming tour comes from my deep eternal love of dirty rock & roll and country music. I thrive from making and performing music, and much like a flower with no sun, my soul slowly dies when I don't get to create and perform. So, for a short ride and in mostly small intimate venues, I will be performing a new creepy creation. It's been too long. Until I can release my own music I will be reinventing some of my old songs and some of my favorite songs from my musical idols. I've hand picked songs from artists that have helped shape who I am and the music I make today. I have missed you, all of you, so if you would like to boogie, come join us.”

Although most fans may know her from autotuned pop hits like ‘TiK ToK’ and ‘We R Who We R’... from the sound of it, she is changing her music direction to more southern rock and country music and will mostly play new ‘Creepy’ Will fans follow her in this new venture? Based on the sold-out status of the upcoming Aria show... yes, of course.

Aug 07 Mad Decent Block Party Brooklyn, NY

Boris

Japanese trio Boris will be stopping by Triple Rock Social Club this August 12th as part of their USA tour in support of their latest album Noise, out now on Sargent House. …

Japanese noise rock band Boris is currently touring in the USA in support of their 19th studio album Noise. The band was incredibly pleased at the sold out show at the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis, last night, August 12th.

Typical of any Triple Rock show, we had three bands, with the first being SubRosa. They drone out epic songs, such as the 15-minute song "The Usher" from their More Constant Than The Gods album .... so it's not unusual that they only play one or two songs on their set.

The second was The Atlas Moth, who played 86% songs from their latest album The Old Believer, which came out last month on Profound Lore.

It's hard for someone like me trying to describe Boris to you. While most people will put them into the drone category, when you see them live, they go beyond that. From experimental to a little sludge to metal to shoegaze ... and unexpectedly even a little pop rock! This is, by definition, what the band is trying to achieve, as noted by drummer Atsuo who once said, "Having some kind of preconceived message or theme is very boring to me, it becomes a crutch."

As soon as the band arrived on stage, the audience cheered super loud when Takeshi took the stage in his famous double-neck guitar/bass.

Setlist

As expected with the new release of Noise on Sargent House, the Japanese trio set out to play selective tracks from the new album. The new songs went over well with the crowd in front, moshing on the more hard/speedier songs.

Before the introduction of "Vomitself", both Wata and Atsuo thanked us for "this special night". Atsuo added, in his broken English, "Thank you so much Minneapolis. We had such a good time with you. Few more songs for you tonight."

"Vomitself", with its extended ending/jam session featured Atsuo banging the gong behind him (the only time the gong was used!) and holding up a noise petal/box while standing above their adoring fans. All the hands were up, and, of course, beckoned Atsuo to stage dive into the sea of people.... making for a very satisfying ending to their show.

No encores were given, despite the chants of "Boris! Boris! Boris!", but none was expected, because it would be impossible to top their set finale.

Boris' latest album Noise is out now on Sargent House. Be sure catch the band on tour now in the US.
