Concert Review: Mount Righteous Marching Band

By ALEX BERGIN

Last Saturday night was plagued by foreboding weather conditions; but it wasn’t apparent within Kansas City’s Brick. A double billing of Texas natives Mount Righteous and Lawrence’s Calamity Cubes boasted an eager crowd that defied the dreary night’s expectations.

It had been two years since Mt. Righteous last assembled on The Brick’s modest stage. (A digs that more than crowded the nine-member-strong Mt. Righteous.)  But they looked comfortable; I mean, how couldn’t they be? For those unfamiliar with the group, Mt. Righteous hails from Grapevine, Texas, and plays outrageous, poppy marching-band rock, which, by definition is both joyous, and peculiar. One cannot help grinning at the spectacle.
