And, as usual, no one from Kansas City is on it. Yet. (You will be glad to know, however, that Dananananaykroyd, from Glasgow, is.)
A coworker was wondering aloud today whether the festival would be as big this year because of the economy. Many of the unsigned acts that flood the city -- playing free shows any place that will have them, paying all their own expenses, sleeping in the van and so forth -- probably won't be able to go this year. And in past years, that's precisely how Kansas City

With her retro style, exotic roots and riot-grrrl attitude, America's not quite sure what to make of Scandinavian import Ida Maria Sivertsen. Is she supposed to be a 21st century Chrissie Hynde? A thinking man's Katy Perry? A modern pop-punk princess?

The Pitch Music Showcase wasn't the only thing going on last night. The other thing: Scottish band Glasvegas and Norwegian rocker-girl Ida Maria played at the Granada.

In what seems to be de rigeur behavior these days, we've got yet another show moved. Whereas the Sunday, November 8, Dashboard Confessional show was moved to the Beaumont Club from the Uptown Theater, it seems that the Bouncing Souls show this Wednesday, November 4, has been moved from the Beaumont to the Riot Room.
It's somewhat harsh being a music fan in Kansas City these days. Passion Pit canceled their show at the Yard and Springsteen canceled his show at the Sprint Center, among ot
