I do love me some Squidbillies . In fact, I love everything about the show except that it's on in the middle of the night when my old ass is hard at slumber. Anyway, if you're a fan of the show, you know damn well that the music is dazzling. And not only do you get twisted original songs performed by the show's voice talent (Unknown Hinson anyone?), but the creators have somehow managed to wrangle more than their fair share of bona fide musical celebs over the years, including such [...]

While Katy Perry was littering the tween-filled Sprint Center with confetti and frosting, there was something a world apart going down at Crossroads KC. Something a little dustier, more tattooed, and assuredly more stoned.… [ Read more ] [ Subscribe to the comments on this story ]
Wakarusa is still working out the kinks. That makes sense though. There's a growing demand for this festival, so figuring out how to make a limited space – mountain tops are only so big – work with more people is going to be a challenge. For starters, organizers once again tweaked the festival grounds for easier flow from the main stage to the other tents. They also made the main stage a part of the late night Interstellar Meltdown, calling it the Interstellar Sanctum. This meant the bigger electronic acts didn't have to be crammed into a tent. It [...]

This weekend, we're highlighting Primus at the Congress Theatre , The Hold Steady at the Vic , [...]

As we previously reported, Primus will return to the road this summer for their first headlining tour in four years. The quirky funk-rock act is wasting no time in lining up additional shows by announcing plans for the second annual Oddity Faire, which last year was headlined by Les Claypool's solo band. Joining the bill for the traveling fest, which kicks off on September 14 in Sacramento, CA, will be Mariachi el Bronx , Portugal. The Man and Split Lip Rayfield , with more acts to be confirmed [...]
"Before we even start, I just have to say, you're all fucking legends." – John Butler 2010 proved to be a landmark year for Wakarusa . It was the culmination of years of enduring the politics of festival organizing and coming out on top with a premier mid-level event. After settling in to their new home last year, Waka was able to step up their game and build the festival they'd been dreaming of for this past weekend. Even though this was its seventh year, it felt like the first, but with the same intimacy and charm [...]

On Sunday, June 13, the festival features a Folk stage planned by the Chicago Bluegrass and Blues festival , and a Punk stage booked by [...]
Notes From Middle America is contributor Danny R. Phillips' monthly column. You can read past installments here . I have to ask. What happened to rock? Has it become passé or uncool for a band to struggle, tour, play shows night after night to build a fan base without the help of excessive internet buzz or douche bags in the "hip" magazines who supposedly have their fingers on the pulse of the American youth culture? If a band has to work hard to get what they have, is that far less important [...]
It's the season of giving and we want to get in the spirit. PopWreckoning would like to give you a pair of concert tickets to see Split Lip Rayfield and Ha Ha Tonka this Friday, Dec. 12, 2008 at the Beaumont Club in Kansas City, MO . Split Lip Rayfield is a bluegrass, alt-country act from Wichita, KS and credited as helping to define the "Thrash-grass" genre. The band gained a large following after the releases of In The Mud and Never Make It Home . [...]
We're Baaaacccckkk... The Lucero Message Board has made a triumphant return and the regular posters are beginning to wander back in. By next month everything will be back to normal. The May compilation was made while the message board was still down. This time around it included folks from the Drag the River message board as well. Unfortunately, I did not get in on the submissions for the May comp so I'm like you...a mere listener. One fella that has really stood out to me is Roger Alan Wade. He has two tracks from [...]
I didn't know Kirk Rundstrom personally. I wish I had. He had a real presence over the Lawrence music community. This was my first favorite song of theirs years ago. Listen: Split Lip Rayfield - The Day the Train Jumped the Tracks Support: The Kirk Rundstrom Cancer Fund
Split Lip Rayfield is playing at Blueberry Hill's Duck Room tonight with St. Louis' very own The Monads . This will likely be Split Lip Rayfield's final St. louis show, as their guitarist has cancer and, having given up on chemo, decided to go out swinging, doing the thing he loves most - playing live music. The Wichita band's music could be best described as bluegrass punk; they feature a guitar, banjo and one string, gas tank bass guitar strung with weed whacker line, for God's sake. This is from [...]
