The Record Machine showcases three stellar local acts

​By Brad Krohe

The Record Machine served up three helpings of Kansas City artists at the Record Bar Friday night. Celebrating the release of Soft Reeds’ debut album, Soft Reeds Are Bastards (which is out July 13th — stream it here), the party was rounded out by labelmates Motorboater and Cowboy Indian Bear. It was an impressive showcase for the homegrown label.
