Although it's not until May, tickets are on sale on Knuckleheads website for a reunion gig by The Rainmakers. That will be a great night for those of us who consistently packed Parody Hall back in the day to see them. I also recall their '87 show at a packed Memorial Hall, the night before Thanksgiving. Probably their biggest headlining show in KC (and possibly their best). I have seen Bob on stage several times since, but getting the band back together excites me way more than, say, The Get Up Kids reunion.

Saw The Rainmakers perform at the amphitheatre at Worlds of Fun during grad night. Not sure of the capacity of that place.

Sorry, MetalHEAD, but music fans have some pretty eclectic tastes and require more than dozens of Nu-Metal bands that sound exactly alike. Sitting through two hours of repetitive noise is not high on my list of fun. Speaking of Metal, it must be hard to be a fan of this antiquated genre. It was always pretty much a boys-club anyway, as the girls always liked the Hair bands who tried to look just like them.

Also, you either have bands to go see who are long in the tooth like Ozzy, Maiden, AC/DC, or Judas Priest-fine bands all, but WAY past their primes-or you have the new breed of Metal in which you can't understand any of the lyrics and the guitarists possess only about a tenth of the talent of their predecessors. I gave up on Metal before Nirvana and the Grunge bands finally kicked it to the curb.

Yaaaawwwnnnn.....can't wait for comments from those not quite so obtuse as to assume one's musical predilections somehow correspond to an on-line nom de guerre.

That's means "name" in case you're lacking reference material..

Does anybody have presale information about Jimmy Buffett? I'd like to get tickets before the rush sells out the floor on monday.

Paul Kersey

Ya yawned at every other show listed here, tired MetalHEAD, so I simply did the math......and I prefer "moniker" to that French nonsense you just blathered. This is Kansas City, not some Francois Truffaut flick.
