Iddy Vice, Give, and Judy & the Jerks get June’s concert calendar off the ground

THURSDAY, JUNE 8

Iddy Vice

With J-Tone, A’Sean, Deffy Rose, Alex Dace, Tiggz Music, Star B and RMS Flex

10 p.m. at Prohibition Hall, $12

Iddy Vice is a Kansas City rapper with a distinctive appreciation for grime — Britain’s most successful hip-hop movement. Vice’s debut EP, Christflow, contains the hurried flows and slick production made popular by artists like Skepta and Jme.

Alex Dace recently took some time off from working on music but is excited to get back in the groove and see some longtime friends perform with him. “Me, him [J-Tone], A’Sean, WontoN, all of us went to the same high school and a … mutual friend set up [our first show together],” Dace recalls.

FRIDAY, JUNE 9

Give

With Protester, Spine, Youth Pool and Altered Beast

7 p.m. at the Uptown Theater (all ages), $10

Washington, D.C., “flowerheads” Give return to Kansas City for the first time in several years this week. The band’s colorful, positive take on punk and post-hardcore has been thrilling fans since their self-titled debut in 2009.

D.C. hardcore band Protester is also on the bill. Singer Connor Donnegan recently played drums on tour with Power Trip when the band opened for Anthrax, playing the biggest shows of his career. He says though that reverting to his DIY roots on this tour shouldn’t be a problem. “It’s not like I got used to being in a fuckin’ tour bus or whatever,” Donnegan says. “I’ve been doing it the way I’ve been doing for years and years, and that’s never gonna change.”

MONDAY, JUNE 12

Judy & the Jerks

With Natural Man & The Supreme Court, Nitecrawlers and Anti-Seed

8 p.m. at the Snake Tank (602 East 31st Street, in the basement of Oddities Prints), (all ages), $5

Judy & the Jerks are bringing one of the most highly anticipated punk tours of the summer to Kansas City. The band — from a buzzing Hattiesburg, Mississippi, punk scene — oozes charisma while churning out catchy tunes reminiscent of the genre’s earliest days.

This show will also be one of the first opportunities to see a new Kansas City band called Nitecrawlers. “[Guitarist] Bennett [Weaver] described it as [sounding as if] Suburban Lawns fell into a pool of radioactive sludge,” says singer Kayla Haubenschild of the band’s first set of songs. Weaver and bassist Jack Marsh also play together in the Drippies and Killakee Kat.
