You’re with the Band

During last week’s Pitch Music Showcase, you threw up your rock fists for metro musicians. Now you can party with ’em. Virtually every awesome musician nominated for something at the Pitch Music Awards is set to appear at the 6 p.m. VIP party that precedes the big event at the Uptown Theater (3700 Broadway). Which means that you can get down like a KC rock star for the low price of $20. If you’re skipping the hobnobbing, just arrive by 8 p.m. to see the ceremony’s hilarious host, David Wayne Reed, hand out trophies, accolades and sass. Our little version of the Grammys also features performances by nominees, including Mark Lowrey, Diverse and the Dead Girls. See ticketmaster.com or call 816-753-5990 for tickets.— Crystal K. Wiebe
