Recommended Events

The Get Up Kids, Kevin Devine, Mansions RecordBar	Fri., November 20 more dates/times	Westport	Emo Pop Rock
Jim Suptic of the Get Up Kids inadvertently caused a media firestorm back in July when he jokingly apologized for his band’s role in creating emo music — the interview with Drowned in Sound was seized upon by Rolling Stone and the UK’s Guardian. If you’ve logged on to MySpace... More >>

Electric Six, the Gay Blades, Millions of Brazilians, Antennas Up! The Riot Room	Sat., November 21	Westport	Garage Rock
This Detroit-based band’s reputation as a comedy act was forever cemented with its video for a cover of Queen’s “Radio Ga Ga,” but that’s not how Electric Six frontman (and sole remaining founding member) Dick Valentine sees it. After all, the band had been solidly... More >>

Hatebreed, Cannibal Corpse, Unearth, Born of Osiris, Hate Eternal The Beaumont Club	Sun., November 22	Westport	Hard Rock Hardcore Rock
Hatebreed gained fans beyond its hardcore niche by touring with Slayer and the Deftones, leading to big sales for The Rise of Brutality in 2003. But the album was a step away from the Connecticut band's original mission statement: to create old-school hardcore music in the face of the... More >>

Russian Circles, Young Widows, Git Some The Riot Room	Mon., November 23	Westport	Rock
It's no small feat that this instrumental trio from Chicago works the spaces between indie rock and metal with enough individuality so that both sound fresh. Russian Circles describes its sound as "epic" yet its music is remarkably unpretentious. Midway between busy freakouts that recall Tera... More >>

Summer Breeze: A Yacht Rock Tribute RecordBar	Wed., November 25	Westport	Easy Listening Pop Rock
Between the years 2005 and 2008, the masterful, low-budget viral video series Yacht Rock, made by a bunch of 20-something dudes out in California, had music geeks glued to their Channel 101 bookmark hoping for a new episode like farmers praying for rain for their thirsty crops. Beginning with... More >>

Season to Risk, Iron Rite Mangle, New Franklin Panthers, Little Murders RecordBar	Fri., November 27	Westport	Rock
Talk about influence. For a time there in the ’90s, it seemed that people in the Midwest were even sneezing differently — louder, more dissonant, more staccato — because of bands such as the Jesus Lizard, Shiner and Molly McGuire. Classrooms were disrupted, and relationships were... More >>

The Good Foot The Levee	Fri., November 27 more dates/times	Westport	Blues Covers Funk R&B Soul
On the whole, the seven members of the Good Foot, who have converged on Kansas City from Midwestern states such as Nebraska and Iowa, are laid-back. At rehearsals, members casually straggle in. Collectively, they emit a self-effacing sense of humor. And they're taking their recent success with a... More >>

Hearts of Darkness RecordBar	Sat., November 28	Westport	World
Afrobeat is not for the faint of spirit. Pioneered by the mercurial Nigerian Fela Kuti in the '70s, the genre is a Yoruba spin on James Brown-style funk. It's loaded with horn breakdowns, improv jazz solos, call-and-response vocals, and rhythmic figures woven as tightly as clay-dipped braids.... More >>

Folk Revolution with Mati Mat The News Room	Every week Tuesday, 10:00pm	Westport	Acoustic Blues Folk Roots
From the 2008 Buckle Bunny Chronicles: It is supposed to be Warrensburg punk night at the Brick. On the menu: the sibling rebel yells of Kosher and Super Black Market. But first, a skinny guy in a white wifebeater and ripped blue jeans steps up with an acoustic guitar. Matthew Alvarado knows... More >>
