Sept 21
CannaBrew Kansas City – Flame-OFF and Art Festival, Knuckleheads
Kansas City’s hottest Art Show is back again and bigger than ever. On Sept. 21, Knuckleheads will open up to a full day of music, murals, and featured headliner Mac Lethal. The annual glassblowing block party put on by Cannabrew has everything from food trucks to raves to spray-paint mural competitions. Amid all the excitement, you’ll be doing good for your fellow Kansas Citians. Charity raffles, auctions, and proceeds from the event go toward the Kansas City Public School Foundation—building art programs for underprivileged youth. Again, it might be easy to forget you’re boosting your karma points amid Mac’s mad flow, but you’ll def be getting your brownie points. (And maybe some brownies)

Oct 6
Twin Temple, The Granada
Right after September rolls over, the hedonistic old-timey rock ’n’ roll boogey of Twin Temple will roll through LFK on Oct. 6—to cheers and (inevitably) protestors who don’t understand how to have a good time. The married couple’s blend of Roy Orbison and ‘60s girl groups is so singular in modern music that it’s impossible to not be thrilled they’re paying us all a visit—or haunting, more appropriately. In a blood-soaked interview with The Pitch ahead of their tour with the dark lord, we hit on everything from tremolo pedals to the goth-ness of Jane Austin to how Satanists believe in being punctual, first and foremost. Check it out and grab tickets for an evening we’ll never forget at the link.
