The legendary Radiohead recently played Kansas City for the first time in 5 years. It was their second time ever performing in KC. The band played a 2 hour and 30 minute, career-spanning set in front of a sold out Sprint Center crowd. The set was a glorious mix of ambient songs, full-on rockers and dazzling visuals. It was one of the best gigs I’ve seen this year. I covered the show for X1051. Check out these live versions of “Full Stop,” “15 Step” and the classic “Fake Plastic Trees.”
Nashville-based band Judah & the Lion recently rocked the Uptown Theater. I covered the show for X1051. Their passionate 90-minute set kept the crowd of 1,700 fired up all night. Check out this rousing performance of “Take It All Back 2.0.”
Australian-based band the Babe Rainbow brought their groovy vibes to the RecordBar. It’s always nice to see bands that put a fresh spin on retro sounds. Check out this live performance.
The Orwells recently smashed RecordBar with their hard-hitting garage rock. The Chicago-based band unleashed a 90-minute set whipped the crowd into a frenzy. It was one of the hardest rocking RecordBar crowds I’ve ever seen. Check out these blistering performances of “Fry” and “Let It Burn.”
