The Wilders are like the Grand Canyon of the Kansas City music scene. You hear they’re great, they’ve been around forever, but you kind of take them for granted. Then you actually see them play a live set and understand why everybody loves them so much. Late last year, the country-Americana band announced that it would soon be going on an indefinite hiatus and, in December, played what I figured would be its last local show in a long while. Very exciting, then, to learn about this Knuckleheads gig, which is the Wilders' actual last scheduled show (at least for now).
