Live This Week: August 20 - 26, 2023

Cloakroom

Folks, it's hot as shit outside. So once you fill up a water bottle that's approximately the size of your torso, venture out this week and catch gigs from Cloakroom and Paprika (at Howdy) and Raider (at Farewell) on Friday night. You should also be sure to come out to this Saturday's KC Tenants benefit gig at Farewell featuring Les Izmore & The GOATS, Weaponize Chomsky, and Burning Bush. Because if you don't want to stand outside for five consecutive minutes right now, I reckon you wouldn't want to be evicted right now.

 

Other acts worth catching this week include Bodybox / Snuffed On Sight, Weyes Blood, Royal Drug, Virga, Taking Back Sunday, and The Skatalites.

Find ticket links, show details, and more gigs below. See beyond this week on our full calendar here.
