Hipness

Wednesday nights at the Foundry (424 Westport Road, 816-960-0866) may be one of the best-kept secrets in Westport. Cobra Strike with Martin Bush kicks off at 11 p.m. and lasts until the bar closes at 3 a.m. Local rock scenesters should recognize Bush as half of Audiovox and the frontman for Paper Cities. When he’s wearing his DJ hat, Bush spins cool-hot danceable tracks by acts we love (the Faint, Black Kids, Hot Chip) and ones we can’t believe we don’t know better (New Young Pony Club, Dondolo). Sweat it out downstairs or in the upstairs lounge, or just appreciate the soundtrack with your drinking. Come back Thursday night for a late-night spin session by Bush’s Paper Cities bandmate DJ Billy Johnson.
