I'm not sure what this Red Bull Thre3Style business is pertaining to because the "about" section of their website is rather outdated, but this event boasts practically an All-Star lineup consisting of some of our area's tightest DJs, with recent BET Master of the Mix winner,...

The free holiday party that The Floozies headlined at the Beaumont Club in Westport alongside EZ Brothers just a couple of weeks ago was the best band show I've been to in quite a while. I don't know if Matt Hill is getting better at guitar, or if he's just playing more...

Be sure to swing through Riot Room on Friday night for what should be the most fun Black Friday music event in Westport, presented kindly by Demencha Magazine. Depending on how early you arrive, you'll be able to snag one of these shirts. There weren't many of them printed...

A couple of months ago, I received an e-mail from someone at the Kansas City Public Library downtown. This is what it read:
"Hello! My name is Stephanie and I work at the KC public library. I was wondering if you had an extra copies of Demencha magazine that could be...
