| The Gunhands Crosstown Station | Wed., August 20, 8:00pm | Downtown | |
 Tonight at Crosstown Station, the Gunhands and their pards in True North bring chicken-fried, wind-burned down-home country hipsterism to the Crossroads. Look, the music is great, and what better excuse do you need to wear your awesome giant belt buckle? But that crinkled-up straw cowboy hat... More >> |

| Sikenomics Fall Release Party with Egyptian Lover & Jamie Jupiter, DJ Sku, Tactic Crosstown Station | Sat., August 23 | Downtown |
|
 Traditionally, DJs have not bothered too much with wardrobe. Up there on the decks, presiding sonically over the dance floor, a T-shirt usually suffices. But in the early ’80s, Greg Broussard, with his bouffant ‘do, sculpted facial hair, fancy jackets and a... More >> |

| Sikenomics Fall Release Party with Egyptian Lover & Jamie Jupiter, DJ Sku, Tactic Crosstown Station | Sat., August 23 | Downtown | |
 According to Phil Shafer, the man behind Sike Style Designs and Sikenomics Clothing, the future ain't what it used to be. As the magentas, aquas and purples of his fall line of streetwear don't quite match up with the complex, mineral shades of most of 2008's autumn trends, it's safe to say... More >> |

| Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band Sprint Center | Sun., August 24, 7:30pm | Downtown | |
 It's been a tough time for the E Street Band, losing two members in less than a year: last summer, Springsteen's personal assistant Terry Magovern and, in April, keyboardist Danny Federici, the man Springsteen called "the heart and soul" of E Street. Soon after Federici's death, Springsteen... More >> |

| Hail the Conquering Hero Kansas City Public Library, Central Branch | Mon., August 25, 6:30pm | Downtown | |
 It's hard to get away with successful satire in a supercharged, hyperpolitical atmosphere. Remember, for example, the depressed state of comedy in the early years of the war in Iraq. So imagine how difficult it must have been to produce successful humor during World War II. You can see some of... More >> |

| Lightning Swords Of Death Korruption | Mon., August 25 | Downtown | |
 Los Angeles-based death metal outfit Lightning Swords of Death brings their dark, umlaut-rich blend of heavy sonic distortion, morbid lyrics and Cookie Monster vocals to Korruption for a satanic blast of brutal truth-telling. More >> |

| Flee the Seen KC Live Stage at the Power & Light District | Wed., August 27, 7:00pm | Downtown | |
 Hardcore breakdowns usually share songs with clear, confident female vocals about as often as supermodels show up at Rush concerts. And yet, Flee the Seen, which alternates its crushing slow-down segments with sickle-sharp melodies, combines these elements in combustible fashion. Kim Anderson's... More >> |

| Service Industry Night with Tactic Crosstown Station | Every week Tuesday | Downtown |

Across four turntables, Tactic plays hip-hop derivatives, hard house, grime and dub step, dance rock, and R&B (you know: party music) in a single set, bouncing among genres like a satellite radio station. Hip-hop... More >> |
