LA’s verBS Set to Return With “The Progress 3: Manifest Awesome” EP

Here are a couple of tracks (one video and one soundclouder) off LA-based MC, verBS' upcoming EP "The Progress 3: Manifest Awesome". Whenever I come across a new promo track from verBS I always revert back to a show he performed at in Lawrence opening for MURS at the...

PREVIEW: Dat Jam Vol. 2 @ The Bottleneck in LK [05.18.12]

The second edition of the Dat Gang events will probably be one of the more accurate representations of KC/LK hip hop that The Bottleneck, or any venue in Lawrence, has seen in quite a while. All the Datura Records affiliates listed on this flyer are more than capable of...

PREVIEW: Big K.R.I.T. @ The Granada in LK [07.16.12]

Mississippi's favorite (perhaps after David Banner), Big K.R.I.T., pretty much destroyed Crossroads KC at the Section 8 Concert last summer. His new album, "4 Eva N A Day", is chalk-full of the country-tinged floaters and Southern-fried bangers that we've become accustomed to....

As Editor here at Demencha, there’s a lot to say about this right now, so bear with me. Demencha is now requiring that artists we write about retweet, reshare and link out posts to the stories we’re writing about them. For example, if you have a show coming up this weekend...

I made it out to Lawrence this past Friday night for the Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 show at The Granada. With Jason at the wheel, we arrived around 8:30 pm to see what was happening at the venue site and to scope out the crowd. Mass Street was full of stylish sidewalk strollers...

LAST NIGHT IN REVIEW: Joc Max, Miles Bonny, Reggie B & Draper @ KC Academy + Vital Nerve 5 @ Newsroom

Last night I trekked out to two different hip hop shows in Kansas City. I knew they would be very different from one another, but I don't think the differences really struck me with such authority until I just recently sat down to write this. The Kansas City Academy at 79th...

[pictured: Reggie B & Diplo] Even though I recently expressed some concern over the lack of promotion for music concerts and shows in Lawrence, the Diplo/Chiddy Bang/Lunice show last night at Granada drew anything but a sparse crowd. KC funkateer, Reggie B, and I cruised...

A most sought after show coming up this Friday featuring KC's very own Hearts of Darkness opening up for Seun Kuti (son of Fela Kuti) & Egypt 80 at The Granada in Lawrence. I am not sure why this show has been so downplayed...perhaps there is a lack of afrobeat followers in...
