Concert Review: Nada Surf in Omaha, NE 3/30/12
Nada Surf is a band that is much better than their image. They have the fortune of having a “hit” song in the 90’s and the misfortune of always being associated with that song. That song, “Popular” is nothing like … Continue reading
Concert Review: Craig Finn / Mount Mariah at the Record Bar, Kansas City, MO 2/11/12
The Record Bar is one of the chattiest venues in the Kansas City/Lawrence/Omaha/Lincoln area. It seems like the crowd at shows at The Record Bar are there to catch up rather than see a show. I don’t really understand this … Continue reading

Concert Review: Gas Pump Talent / Marcus Words at the Cafe Acoustic 11/26/11 in St. Joseph, MO
