Prost! October, Rocktober, and Oktoberfest celebrations seem to be in full swing, and while it’s been unseasonably warm, things are soon to change and jacket weather is coming.

We♥KC – March 27 – April 3 Upcoming Shows (Kansas City / Lawrence KS)

Here’s what’s happening in the Kansas City/Lawrence area for the Final WEEK of MARCH

Wham! Glam! Thank You, Ma’am!
British glam rockers The Darkness is back! The band formed in 2000 and by 2006 had called it quit. Of course, they couldn't stay away - by 2012, they had reformed (which we mentioned the reunion tour). Britain's rising new glam/rock band The Struts are taking on the US with their current tour promoting their album Everybody Wants. Their hit single "Could Have Been Me" is currently on the top 5 of Billboard's Alternative charts, and the self-proclaimed "glamorous indie" band has been racking up Best New Artists awards consistently for the past year. Lead singer Luke Spiller is a sight to behold, strutting around onstage like he was born to be there (hence where their manager thought of their band name). They do a killer cover of Lorde's Royals, which we hope to hear when we cover their show at the Troubadour in Los Angeles this Wednesday, October 14th.

The Darkness first came on the scene with their debut 2003 album, Permission to Land, and quickly gained this reputation for putting on some amazing elaborate live stage shows. There was also a lot of backlashes for the makeup and ridiculousness of it all, but I guess you have to take the good with the bad.
