buckethead

To get your summer started off right, here are a few suggestions for you folks in the heartland.

Tues June 3rd
Buckethead with That 1 Guy @ The Waiting Room in Omaha. Rad Kadillac went and did it again. Unfortunately for you procrastinators, this show is sold out, but does start at 9pm. I suggest getting there plenty early to offer strangers random “favors” for a ticket.

Wed June 4th
Modest Mouse with The Dirty Dozen Brass Band @ Westfair Amphitheater in Council Bluffs, IA a.k.a. Omaha. This 7:30pm show will set you back $35.

Thurs June 5th thru Sunday June 8th
Wakarusa Music and Camping Festival in Lawrence, KS. Already in its 5th year on the scene, this year's edition promises to be a blast. Pack up the crew and bring ‘em down to Clinton State Park for the weekend. Tickets are $169 for all 4 days or $60 for each day at the gate. See you there!!!
