Live This Week: September 28 - October 3, 2025
![]() |
Modern Life Is War |
Then Tuesday, return to Howdy for Victim Of Fire (Denver "stadium crust"; new LP out now).
Wednesday, catch Iowa hardcore legends Modern Life Is War play The Bottleneck in Lawrence (their first show in the metro in over a decade, if I'm correct) with Nerver and Unity Ticket.
Then Friday, hit The Bottleneck again for one of the best rock bands currently out of England, High Vis, with post-punks Cold Gawd and up-and-coming Missouri hardcore crew Locked Shut.
Other acts worth catching this week include Full Of Hell, Jadwick, Low Cut Connie, Nation Of Language, Bob Mould, That Mexican OT, Total Sham, Willi Carlisle, BabyTron, Stanley Clarke Quartet, Chappell Roan, Joel Vs Joel, and Ziggy Marley.
