Got a yen to do the danse macabre tonight? Head down to Crossroads KC at Grinders tonight for an electro-dance cruise ship of awesomeness helmed by Austin synth-vocals duo Ghostland Observatory and openers the Glitch Mob, a scruffy, knob-twisting dance quartet from Cali.

Get like PBS and watch these docu-videos about both acts. The first is a quaint little Central-Texas-made piece starring people with hefty drawls tawlking about Ghostland's unique aesthetic. (Kinda reminds me of Suicide in that they've got one weirdo doing beats and another weirdo singing, but Ghostland is way less threatening and dire than, say, "Ghost Rider." And they've got braids.) Anyway, here's the film.

And here's an XLR8R-made film about the Glitch setting up guerilla-style outside of an Apple Store in San Francisco. The old guy at the beginning decrying their lack of instrumental ability is priceless.

Doors at 7 p.m., show at 8. Call 816-221-LIVE for info.

Oops! I meant Crossroads webpage. I guess Crossroads and Fest are forever stuck together in my mind. Good work Mr. Sundahl!

Getting scooped by a girl avoiding her real day job.
