Live This Week: July 27 - August 2, 2025

The Acacia Strain

This Tuesday, my (Aaron Rhodes, editor of this blog) hardcore punk rock band Burning Bush is playing its final show at The Rino in North KC with some friends from Minnesota (Identity Crisis and Self Abuse) and our sister band Lower Heaven. I'm very grateful for the support that folks here in town and across the Midwest have shown us and I'm glad we get to rock one more gig for you. Come out, slam dance, and snatch up the last of our merch.

 

On Wednesday, we have our hand in promoting two shows. You can catch MSPAINT, Pat And The Pissers, Lip Critic, and Skuffed play The Ship. Alternatively, you can see Her New Knife, At A Loss, and The Cat Theory at Howdy. Both gigs are all ages! 

 

Then on Thursday, Out4Blood from Minneapolis plays Howdy with Legalize Homicide and Lower Heaven. 

 

And finally on Friday, we'd like to make sure you're aware of this very stacked bill at The Granada: The Acacia Strain, Bodysnatcher, Ingrown, No Cure, and Tribal Gaze. We're also presenting a gig at Farewell that evening featuring Grocer from Philly and locals 24hr Video and Champ. Hope that's enough rock for you.

 

Other acts worth catching this week include Academy Order, Pleasure Pill, Porcelain, Jenny Haniver, Bush, Cold Gawd, The Rackatees, The Jayhawks, Faith Maddox, and Keathley.
