A great read from the October 26th show in Kansas City.....
By Mike Kennedy
TLDR ALERT: There's alot to be said about young musicians being the future of the local scene, but last nights show at Aftershock was PROOF that us OG rock and rollers won't go down without a fight. I was able to witness five killer bands staffed by, ahem, forty(fifty)somethings lay WASTE to the stage at Aftershock.
Viking was a killer cover and, and the guitar player was channeling his best Mick Mars, right down to the top hat.
Jimmy EvansEvan's and the #HarderTheyFall boys were excellent. They remind me of an old school NWOBHM band influenced by Rainbow and Ritchie Blackmore. The lead player SHREDS. SHHHHREEEEEDDDDDDDSSSSS.
OH MY, what is there to say about Blood Of Heroes? Holy Shit is what to say. These boys drove from Springfield to annihilate the Aftershock. It was a huge success. Doug Walker and I were talking about how FULL the band sounded with only one guitarist. The explanation as to why they wear face paint is best left to them to explain, so you best go see them. #CANCERSUCKS
I am honestly EMBARRASSED to say that I've never seen #BurnTheGates before. Webster's dictionary describes the word "heavy" as a band from Kansas City called Burn The Gates. Their new song, who's title I didn't catch, made me immediately open my jacket and display my Slayer "Whermacht" shirt and get a head nod from John Jay who was adorned in his Slayer hat. Holy cow.....Burn The Gates have definitely laid down the gauntlet for the heaviest metal band in KC.
The headliners were Death By Fucking Diesel, and honestly I was quite upset that not more people stayed to see them. Mr. Greg Divine, has fronted many legendary KC bands like Quietly Violent and Thrust, as well as singing with Tracii Guns of LA Guns fame. DXD is an old school, whiskey drinking, gunslinging band of badass mothers who ALWAYS leave everything they have on that stage, which of course they did. Oh, their new guitarist Rosario is bad (young) man. HO LEE CHIT.
Last night was also a celebration of brother Gil. Lost wayyyyyy to early to cancer. I lost my father to cancer and Tracii lost her Mom to cancer. We totally understand what kind of MONSTER cancer is. #FUCKCANCER
So when the OG's throwdown, you young motherfuckers need to stand up and grab your notebooks because we are gonna school you on the "ways" of rock and roll.
Our thoughts and prayers are directed to Cory and family. We love you big man. See you soon.
Props to Amber for keeping everything running on time in Cory's absence.
