• New releases: Tuesday, June 2

  Not a lot coming out today, but there are a few releases worth taking note of. Long-running SoCal punk rockers Rancid release their seventh full-length, Let the Dominoes Fall, on Hellcat. You'll have just enough time to learn the words (hint: there will be copious use of the words "yeah" and "whoah-oh") before they play the Beaumont's Back Yard next Friday with Rise Against and the Riverboat Gamblers.

• Concert Review: Shots Fired reunion show at Record Bar, Saturday, March 7

  Forester MichaelZachary Aaron and Shots Fired are back from the shadows. "I'm scared so shitless right now." That's how Shots Fired frontman Zachary Aaron greeted the audience at the Record Bar on Saturday night. He had a right to be nervous -- it was the first time his band had played a show in more than two years. His later poll of the big but by no means capacity crowd revealed that someone had flown in from Utah for the occasion. The two new KC bands I'm currently most excited about -- Pet

• Cheech and Steve

  It's less than shocking to say that certain restaurants and foods cater to pot smokers. Without trying, Dorito's, Domino's and Cap'n Crunch have become part of the stereotypical image of getting high. But I'd be willing to bet that no major restaurant chain has courted stoners as actively as Denny's does in this new advertisement:They really don't leave much up to the imagination with "Steve the Unicorn." But just in case there's any doubt, on the Denny's bio page it created for each character,

• Incoming: Blink 182 to Sandstone?

  It's not exactly news that Blink 182 will be reuniting for a new album and tour later this summer, and that Weezer's hitting the road with 'em. A Canadian blog has posted a complete tour itinerary that has Blink coming to Sandstone on September 4, and you know that Canadian bloggers are never wrong. Not sure whether Cuomo and co. will be with them, however, as the blog reports that on different dates, support will come from "a revolving cast of hit and miss noobs like Fall Out Boy, Panic at the

  This past Friday night, the intellectuals went to the Beaumont Club, and the people that really wanted to rock were at the City Market. Scott SpychalskiHow many of these kids have actually been to the Steamboat Arabia Museum? 96.5 The Buzz kicked off their Buzz Under the Stars concert series with the Offspring's The Shit Is Fucked Up Tour, with opening support from the kinda-Christian alternative band Anberlin, suburban Chicago punk three-piece Alkaline Trio, the angsty platinum-selling the Us

• Incoming: The Buzz's Beachball, September 4

  96.5 The Buzz presents the return of their Summer Beachball show. For a few years there, it was your way to see a lot of bands for cheap. Well, they didn't have one last summer, but now it's back on September 4--which makes it more of an end-of-summer ball than anything else. The Blink-182 / Weezer pairing at CapFed Sandstone has been out for a while now, but there's a quite a bit more than just those two: KC's own Republic Tigers and Mac Lethal, plus Taking Back Sunday, Matt & Kim, Stellastar*

• See Oklahoma rockers Red City Radio at the Mustache Club this Saturday

  Red City Radio has real mustaches. And a guy who looks like David Cross. It's official. I can't keep track of all the ironic, figurative and literal upper-lip hair in this city. There's the Kansas City Fake Mustache Club, a bunch of people who go to local rock shows and make podcasts with faux hair affixed to their faces. It's great that this group supports local music, but I confess I remain confused about the point and unamused by the 'staches. There's also Club Mustache -- a rock house around
