A death in the family has caused all Black Joe Lewis tour dates to be cancelled.

The shows will be rescheduled in June. Tickets will be honored for the rescheduled shows or they can be returned to point of sale.

Our thoughts go out to the Black Joe Lewis family/crew.

Though they didn’t play my favorite, “Bitch, I Love You,” I was impressed with Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears‘ set of energetic and funky rock and roll. Check out their performance of “She’s So Scandalous.”

Their energy made them one of my favorite acts of the day.

It’s that time of year again.

What time, you ask?

Time for Kansas City’s 96.5 The Buzz’s Halloweenie Roast.

Spooktacular!

Enjoy nine bands at the Beaumont, and partake in the Freaks Tattoo Costume Contest to get your goulish Halloween spirits in full swing before the 31st.

The show is all ages and doors are at 5 p.m on Wednesday, October, 28.

Four local bands will play inside while this crazy line-up rocks it hard outside:

Start out the evening by giving a listen to frenzied NY punk indie-rockers, White Rabbits. Listen to what the Rabbits have to offer by listening to It’s Frightening on iTunes.

Take in the cool, smooth blues and soul of the Austin-based group Black Joe Lewis (& the Honeybears). I predict that these fellas will get the crowd moving to their gritty, swing tunes. Seriously. You can’t sit still during a tune like “Bitch, I Love You.”

Next up are Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo of The Raveonettes. The Everly Brothers, Cramps, Bowie (the list goes on) inspired musicians should deliver a set full of fun songs and awesome melodies. Expect to hear new tunes from their album In And Out Of Control (out Oct. 6).

The the 80s synth-pop rockers whose hairstyles were as memorable as their albums, A Flock of Seagulls, will be next on the bill.

Jet, the Australian loves who brought you “Are You Going To Be My Girl,” will be headlining the show outside. Catch up with these rockers by giving their album, Shaka Rock, a listen.
