Man's Ruin

Such an amazing way to rig in the New Year!! Was a perfect set

It was a great concert! The band interacted with the crowd in a way that made you feel like you were real friends with them... very conversational. It was really fun to hear them talk and joke around between songs. Probably the nicest group of people I've met, as far as bands go. And the music was great! They had a lot of energy and never seemed to tire. A very fun night (although I did get in trouble for taking photos with my phone).

I love Stereo Total, and their live acts are charming, entertaining, and funny. Highly recommended!

I've been a huge fan of these guys since 2006. I don't understand why they are not a household name yet. I spread the word as much as possible and have created a few new fans around my area. They haven't hit it huge yet, probably because blues music is not one of the most popular genres, nowadays. I contend that even if you aren't a 'blues fan', you'd still have an appreciation for the talent in this band. I love SRV, as does Mato Nanji. When I describe the band to someone who has not heard them, it's basically a band who sounds like SRV but with a bit more 'soulful voice'. Definitely worth checking out. Mato's masterful guitar skills, smooth vocals, and humble stage presence make for a great concert.

It was a very LIVE to the keep not and loss seen some prejudice to the effect of X JAPAN of MSG performances in 2008 of a further as 6 years band from postponement to power up to started LIVE packed shall not go.

The venue was the only thing holding back the concert. Sammi performed great but the set-up was in the events section of Caesars and not the concert hall. Make shift stage prevents the typical high energy canton-pop show.

The concurrence of cultures, musical traditions, crashing brains with the power of assuredness. How they could do another show the next night, I do not know. They gave their awl.

Hem Live and The Sinclair. I have been listening to Hem for years, but to witness Sally Ellyson sing and Dan Messe pound on the keyboard was a treat. Steve Curtis and Gary Maurer where amazing on the strings and George Rush filled the room with the stand up Base. Dawn Landes was a great opener and seemed to revel in the back up role marveling in the ease of presence and clarifying power of Sally's voice. The Sinclair was a great place for the show and I will be back.

The venue was so intimate, you felt like she was singing and playing just for you. She is such an amazing artist and her music really speaks to my heart. I listen to her new album all the time, but hearing it in person was just awesome! It was definitely worth the 6 hour drive from Phoenix to attend!!

15 years ago, when I was in high school, I missed the Living End playing with the Vines at the Bottleneck in Lawrence. This has been a regret that has been plaguing me for years! So when I saw that they were coming to KC, I had to go. They sound exactly like their CDs and Chris goes off the script sometimes and does extended guitar solos which are amazing. They even did a fan requested song "Fly Away" which was super cool. All of them are such great performers. We got to the Riot room early and were able to get front row, however the lighting kind of failed and it was hard to take pictures of the other side of the stage. The Dollyrots and Deco-Auto were also awesome live and I suggest to see them whenever they're in town as well!
