If you’re going to SXSW, make sure to catch the band’s set at the festival. If you don’t make it to SXSW, no worries — you can see ‘em at Middle of the Map Fest.
The Floozies are at it again. The Lawrence band recently released a tour promo video, set to the band's new song, "Birfday Suit." Watch it after the jump.
Local heavy-metal movie-mockery program Incognito Cinema Warriors XP is smack in the middle of filming its second season. In addition to the myriad photos posted to its Facebook page, the show recently posted a rough cut from the first episode, where Rikk and the bots venture away from the lobby set and into the bowels of the Cine-A-Sorrow Theater for some action. It's even gained enough views in the scant couple of weeks that it's been up to become part of the YouTube revenue-sharing program. Check it out below.
Street Eaters hail from the same Berkeley scene that birthed the likes of Operation Ivy and Green Day, yet the bass-and-drums duo has more in common with angular English punk acts such as the Fall or Wire. The pair of Megan March and John No are touring in support of their debut full-length, Rusty Eyes and Hydrocarbons, due out July 12 on Plan-It-X Records. They bring their fiercely pulsating tunes to the Studded Bird Friday night, where they'll share the bill with KC's own Street Legal.
Well, this will just break your heart. Local filmmaker Chistopher Good's new video for the Secret Cities song "Always Friends" has been released, and it's the cutest and saddest damn thing you'll see today.
The split-screen video -- Good's first attempt in the medium -- tells the story of a geeky friend who longs for his equally nerdy gal pal who is dating a skeezy-looking guy with a basketball. Though she enjoys battling him in role-playing games, she doesn't like like him. Isn't that always the way?

We recorded the video outside of the Bloch Building at night. It is a pretty great-looking video, and we wanted to share it with The Pitch. We tried to represent Kansas City really well and think we pulled it off.
Here's the promo trailer for the upcoming Rock N' Fashion Show at Crosstown Station. It features the Beautiful Bodies, Roman Numerals and Audiovox, in addition to a bunch of people wearing pretty clothes from local designers. It's on April 23.
Click through to watch young pretty folks jump on a bed, touch each other and pour beverages over each other's faces. Yup.
Here's the latest place you'll find local hip-hop mover and shaker Reach: on the sophomore album of Paris and Montreal producer Dela. The album is called Changes of Atmosphere, and it has guests on every track (including Talib Kweli, Les Nubians, Large Professor, Elzhi), but Reach, who appears on most of Dela's projects, opens the record with "Go On," an ode to the working class.
Topeka rapper Stik Figa and East Side MC Ron Ron made waves with "Caked Up" in 2009 -- especially here at The Pitch, where we awarded the track the best song of the year. Here's the new video for "Caked Up," directed and edited by Ron Ron with camerawork and production assistance from Vashon of Pyramidwest.tv.
