Happy Thursday, KC,

I fear I’ve entered my “we still gotta eat” era… gas prices are disrespectful right now, but missing meals isn’t an option. So I’m building a guide to all the spots in Kansas City where you can get good food for $15 or less. If you’ve got a go-to order that doesn’t financially ruin you, I need to know.

Drop your recs. Gatekeeping is cancelled. In the meantime, win tickets to Yagódy, bringing their haunting Ukrainian folk sound and full-body, goosebump energy to the Midwest Trust Center on April 4th.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Big riffs, indie grit, and main-character energy. Krooked Kings hit recordBar on April 5th with an alt-rock set built for late nights and loud singalongs. Enter to win a pair of tickets.

• If the beat drops, you’re dancing. Afrobeats To The World takes over Warehouse on Broadway with international vibes, heavy bass, and a packed floor that won’t quit.

• The sound. The mood. The moment. Silversun Pickups take over Warehouse on Broadway on May 15th, for a night of shimmering guitars and dreamy alt-rock anthems.

• The stars are aligning for Freya Skye as she takes over The Midland Theatre on September 29th. See the British breakout before she becomes a full-blown constellation!

• Smoke in the air, bass in your chest, and legends on the mic. Cypress Hill pulls up to Uptown Theater on July 22nd with a set built for head-nods and throwbacks. This is the Presale of the day, UPTOWNKC.

The sun’s out, and finally… a new tattoo feels like a really good idea.
