![REVIEW: Middle of the Map Fest [Chris Mills' Take]](http://demencha.com/wp-content/themes/widezine/thumb.php?src=http://demencha.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/crowd-at-riot-room-saturday-1024x490.gif&w=200&h=200&zc=1&q=80&bid=1)
I wasn’t expecting Ink and The Record Machine’s Middle of the Map Fest last weekend to be as draining and taxing as it turned out to be this year. Perhaps I’m just getting older? Or perhaps music festivals and I don’t always cooperate with each other. Back in 2007,...

If you're just another person in KC trying to make a "documentary" on local music/hip hop and you're not at this show, you might want to reconsider your mission statement, or just quit entirely. I believe the picture above was shot by one Jeremy McConnell (Editor of Flavor...

Z-Sonic's latest moombahton spice-up comes courtesy of the Henrick Schwarz remix of "Feeling You" by Omar. We can dig this, and Sonic's more funky, less acidic tracks as of late in general. With Westport hosting Gusto Lounge, The Union and Riot Room (all dance-friendly venues)...
Have the days of seeing Ces Cru for five measly bones been completely washed away? Quite possibly. Strange Music's latest addition, the two headed, KC-based, lyrical giant known as Ces Cru are rocking out at Record Bar in Westport once again for their Strange Music signing...
Michael Byars is a cool guy; I say this in complete confidence although I've never actually met him. On top of having one of those comforting and informative voices you can hear regularly on KCUR (89.3, the local NPR affiliate for those of you not in college) he has really...

The Kansas City-based, Be/Non, are badass and you should go to this show. Admittedly, I don't know a whole lot about Electric Light Orchestra aside from the time someone told me that all the early-20's hipsters who write for Pitchfork adore them. However accurate that is, I'm...
