UPDATE: Friday, April 8, at 6 a.m.: Pre-sale tickets for 2011’s Buzz Under the Stars are already sold-out. (Damn, son!) Snag your tickets for the event this morning, when they go on sale at 10 a.m. sharp. They’ll run you $35, and they’re on sale either on Ticketmaster (click here for a link) or in person at the Midland box…
It’s a big week for summer and early-fall show announcements. I know none of us want to think about falling leaves and brisk air. Blame Ke$ha, LMFAO and Spank Rock. They’re slated to perform at Starlight on Friday, September 2, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $35-$49.50. However, Starlight kind of — I stress kind of — redeemed itself yesterday, when…
Answer: Spaghetti Bolognese. Can you guess who loves it, really loves it? You would if you were a hormonal teenage girl. It’s Justin Bieber, damn it! Celebrities — movie stars, reality-show messes, infomercial spokespeople, teen idols, rock stars — all have food issues. You would understand why the late Elizabeth Taylor packed on the pounds if you knew the kind…
Easter is 17 days away, and the Fat City readers who observe Lenten traditions — or just have a yen for fried fish — know that the next two Fridays are chock-full o’ fish frys. (Click here for the Catholic Key’s list of all the church dinners in the metro.) But there’s a fundraising fried-fish dinner scheduled for next Friday…
Todd Schulte, the owner of Genessee Royale, the stylish breakfast-and-lunch restaurant in the West Bottoms, is more than ready for warmer weather to appear. He wants to open the glass-paned garage doors — this space really was a garage and gas station once — and begin serving meals outside on the patio. He’s also ready to introduce a new menu…
I feel as if I’m about to tell you that water is wet. AlterNet ranked the “10 States With the Most Shocking Anti-Woman Legislation” yesterday, and sadly, predictably, Missouri and Kansas both made the top 10. The only surprise is that Missouri ranked seventh, and Kansas ranked eighth. The top honors went to South Dakota, Virginia and Arizona. Categories: News,…
Rogue human police officers aren’t the only authorities we have to fear. Sometimes it’s a rogue canine cop, such as Eros. The 3-year-old Belgian Malinois and his handler were searching for a gun at 43rd and Chelsea that a robbery suspect may have dropped; they’d already found a magazine, the Star reported. But when Eros spotted a woman in front…
There’s something to be said about going home. Kansas State basketball coach Frank Martin and his agent have both said that no one from the University of Miami has contacted them. Earlier this week, Martin told Tim Brando that he is “extremely happy” at K-State. But he did qualify it with a “never say never.” But now, CBS Sports’ Gary…
We’ve caught wind of a new local music blog that has cropped up in Lawrence recently, called I Heart Local Music. It has just put up a collaboration between Cowboy Indian Bear’s Katlyn Conroy and Hospital Ships’ Jordan Geiger, who are both covering a Daniel Johnston song in honor of the artist’s appearance at the Middle of the Map Fest…
Jayhawk fans don’t need another reminder that they didn’t make the Final Four after getting whooped by VCU. It’s even more painful for a couple of Lawrence apparel stores — Jayhawk Spirit and Jock’s Nitch — that are stuck with hundreds of pre-ordered T-shirts celebrating a Final Four berth that never happened, according to the University Daily Kansan. Jayhawk Spirit…
If you were at the Queens of the Stone Age’s show last night, the synapses in your brain are probably completely crispy. (At least, that’s what our writer Berry Anderson is telling us. Check out her review of the night’s hard-rockin’ swagger here.) Our photographer Scott Spychalski was on the scene, too. Click the photo above to see more. Categories:…
Pitchfork’s sister blog, ALTERED ZONES, gave a shout out to Kansas City, Missouri’s Umberto. (The original shout came from Rose Quartz.) Here’s what the blog says: Moving on from the ’70s horror-doom reverence of his last few releases, Matt Hill of Kansas City’s Umberto is taking to the red Corvette and submerging his synth experiments in a milieu that Dee-Dee…
The third season of Top Chef Masters premiered last night, and much like the beautiful, over-the-stove, time-lapse camera shots that briefly flitted onscreen, everything felt a bit rushed. There’s a new host, Curtis Stone; a new judge in critic Ruth Reichl; and a new format — one chef goes home every week. And, frankly, they haven’t quite figured out how…
Some folks in Lawrence would like it to remain legal to discriminate against people based on their gender identity, thank you very much. That was the message sent loud and clear Wednesday night in a Lawrence church during a discussion over adding gender identity to a city ordinance barring discrimination. The Lawrence Journal-World reports that groups, including the Alliance Defense…
Anthony Jackson was 15 years old at the time of the killing of Nigerian-born University of Missouri-Kansas City student Oladipo Oladimeja. He’s 16 now and facing second-degree murder charges (along with charges of first-degree robbery and armed criminal action) after being certified to stand trial as an adult. Oladimeja, 25, who worked as a corrections officer, was using his laptop…
At one point during his band’s sold-out show at the Beaumont last night, Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme said, “We may be drunk, but we still care. I may be really high, but I still care.” He also claimed that he hadn’t played in Kansas City for the past 19 years; but he was glad to be…
Earlier this week, a Wyandotte County jury convicted Aaron Clay of first-degree murder in the killing of Javier Reynoza. Clay, 31, was also found guilty of attempted aggravated robbery and criminal possession of a firearm. His sentencing is scheduled for May 27.

Matt Dunehoo may have moved on from his former Kansas City project, Doris Henson, a while ago; but we here at Wayward like to keep tabs on what our favorite formerly local musicians are up to these days. Dunehoo’s new band, Baby Teardrops, is nominated in an online poll to be the next New York City artist of the month…
Photographer Sabrina Staires tried to capture the essence of Knobtown in a photo essay accompanying David Martin’s cover story this week about John Uhlmann’s failed redevelopment plan.
