Concert Review: Radkey / Maps For Travelers at The Rendezvous in St. Joseph, MO 9/20/13

It was Friday the 13th so this lineup made perfect sense. Three hard rock bands all converging at Cafe Acoustic on a night that would end with sweaty horse head mask getting passed around. That would be the end of … Continue reading

Concert Review: Queens of the Stone Age / The Killers at Buzz Under The Stars 8/3/13

I hate big shows. I always wish bands I like the most success possible but bigger shows simply aren’t as enjoyable for me and I feel most concertgoers. It is inevitable that as bands gain popularity, more people will go … Continue reading
