The Darkness at The Truman (October 11, 2023)

We saw the Darkness in October 2023 and wrote, “The Darkness, the bombastic, longtime East Suffolk, UK band had returned to downtown Kansas City at The Truman to help commemorate the 20th Anniversary of their globally successful debut album, Permission to Land, and had as usual, amazed the crowd with a solid set and were about to play their biggest hit, “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” as a high point, when singer Justin Hawkins made the plea. He urged fans to live and experience the moment through their own eyes, not through a tiny cell phone screen, and unite to have one last song’s length collective party, before the band would say ‘good night’ and most did oblige- pogo-ing in place, hands in the air, and singing along.”

Mark Daly to open.

Chelsea Wolfe at Varsity Theater (March 20, 2024)

Chelsea Wolfe to open. We saw Wolfe in March 2024 and said, “Every time we see Wolfe, it’s been pretty memorable, with a few standing out: her appearance made national news at the Fitzgerald Theater because Eels debut the return of Journey’s vocalist Steve Perry, and I broke my camera’s lens, so I was forced to draw her: “Apparently, I’ve dropped my camera one too many times and the lens no longer extends or detracts.” If you’ve never seen Chelsea Wolfe before, it’s a great, dark, foggy experience. She creates such a great atmosphere, and she sings mostly in the dark, so you can really hear her notes.”
