Real Estate recently made their Kansas City debut with a sold out show at RecordBar. I covered the show for X1051. They are one of my favorite bands ever and they always put on a passionate live show. Excellent new songs, from this year’s In Mind, fit in perfectly with classic tunes throughout the band’s 75-minute set. Check out these live versions of new song “Serve the Song” and the legendary “Talking Backwards.”

Past interview subject Mike Doughty recently hit the RecordBar. Backed by Wheatus and his own band, Doughty crushed a set mixing new songs, older solo material and Soul Coughing classics.

I covered the show for X1051. Check out these blistering live performances of “Bus to Beelzebub,” “How Many Cans?” and “So Far I Have Not Found the Science.”
