Wednesday night we rolled into Kansas City. A good friend of ours, Ashley Weaver (on the far right in this picture), convinced us to come all the way out to to the heartland, and we were not disappointed! Ashley took us in and fed us a yummy homemade lasagna, then we were off to Crosstown Station for the show. There, we met up with the other bands, Ste. Simone and Mr. History.
Mr. History had an impressive visual show. They were a big band (7 people), and had a huge sound. Ste. Simone were on second, and they helped organize the show with us. Tara, the lead singer, is awesome! Her voice is dark, ala PJ Harvey, and she gave an amazing performance. In her non-rock star life, Tara is a birthing coach. Rock on!
We headlined and closed the show. The sound onstage was amazing, and we played one of our best sets. Ashley captured this cool pic of SMV rockin' the keys.
After the show, we met this woman named Jen. She saw us four years ago at Ladyfest Columbus. She happened to see a writeup about our KC show in the local weekly (The Pitch), and came out to see us again after all these years. How awesome is that?
People really dug and got us in KC. The folks there were edgy and cool. We *heart* Kansas City.
After the show, we got down and partied with the other bands and Ashley. Good times!
We then headed to Ashley's to crash, and she was an incredible host. She let us take over her apartment and computer, and let us do laundry. She also carted us over to The Hen House, an awesome local grocery store.
Omaha next!
