Mouth has been making these amazing text fliers for their shows, and I've been meaning to showcase them for a while. Most text-only fliers are ugly as sin, but Mouth's Jeremy Anderson -has the ability to do more with a little bit of color and a simple image than most people can do with the whole Photoshop suite. You can check out a whole bunch of his past work over at the band's MySpace.
This show has a pretty swank concept. Anderson explained in an e-mail:
"The idea for the show was for us to pick five of our favorite local emcees, come up with live arrangements for two or three songs by each one, and make the night in to something like a giant live mix tape. We'll also be playing a short set of our own tunes and hosting an open mic for emcees at the end of the night. PopFreeRadio will be broadcasting the whole thing live."
The show hits the Scion Lab (located on the east side of Oak Street, between 18th Street and 19th Street, right behind Grinder's and CrossroadsKC) on November 13. Mouth will back Reach, thePhantom*, Dutch Newman, and Swayzorbladez. More special guests are to be announced.

I wasn't promoting anyone. It's a fact: these shows are going to be competing for the same, fairly small local indie hip-hop audience.
Also that night: Butterfly and Doodlebug of Digable Planets at the Bottleneck.
Oof!
What a dick move by Jason. Promoting another show on an article about Mouth. Nothing constructive about the actual article or band, just self interest promotion. Way to represent The Pitch!

oh whow, 4 mcs versus five emcees and a live band and special guests, whatever am i to choose?
You're talking about Kansas City here; one of the best things about this city is that, if you book a show on a Friday or Saturday night, you're gonna have some competition. I'm cool with that. It's not about how many people you get to come out; it's about how weird the show is. This one is gonna be weird.
Too bad for everyone this show is the same night as Steddy P's "Leaders of the Nu Skool" gig at the Record Bar with CES, Stik Figa and G-Train. Split!
Awesome, thanks Nick! I think this show is going to be really fun and unique, and I'm hoping it will encourage some more interaction between the KC hip hop scene and the KC improvised music scene, both of which are producing some really good music.
