I don't really hang out in kansas city, so I don't know what is happening there. However, I know they have quite a few straight edge and Bridge 9 style hardcore bands. In terms of hc and punk, kansas city probably has the better bands, but I prefer Lawrence.
Lawrence, KS is home to the Univ of KS, and has quite a few punk houses. Although it's nationally known for its indie pop scene (The Casket Lottery, The Anniversery, Get up kids, etc) it does have a vibrant punk scene. There are a couple punk houses where shows are held and the scene is pretty full of crust punks and grind punks and anarcho-punk types. I used to attend all the shows at one of the punk houses (The Haunted Kitchen)...(saw Hammer, Regulations, Signal Lost, etc)... but there was never any hardcore or straight edge bands which came through. The hardcore punk bands that played there were always the typical MRR (maximum rock n roll) style bands ranting and raving about smashing the state and fighting for anarchy....
I haven't gone to any shows for a couple years now...I still buy records and read zines, but just not into the scene and scene type people anymore.
EDIT:
Lawrence also has a really cool garage punk festival coming up...The Oblivions, The Gories, Tyvek, Digital Leather, and a million other bands....should be cool for those into garage punk
oh thats actually way more than i expected. and as the name implies i think i would dig those MRR hardcore bands. totally down for state smashing and autonomy!
oh, ha ha, missed your username...I used to like that stuff and read MRR religously...Lawrence is considered the Berkely of the midwest, even has its own anarchist library and played host to some American Anarchist conference a couple years ago (it was a bunch of tents near the lake)...unfortunately, no REAL hardcore or straight edge....I was always careful not to wear an edge shirt to the punk houses because plenty of hxc kids had been beated up at punk houses....Lawrence also had it's share of punk gangs and a couple anti-skinhead gangs also (although there really weren't any skinheads in lawrence..kinda odd)Quote:

Choose either pile ons and sing alongs or spin kicks and two-step? All of the above except 2 step, and add headwalking haha.

Youth Of Today, Strife, XbattlegroundX, Floorpunch
hmm i never knew that haha. We have an Infoshop if that is what you mean by anarchist library, but then we allow lenin and other authoritarians like him a spot on our shelves, freedom of the press i guess haha. and being a fairly progressive city we have alot of Co-ops that are actually collectively owned, though i've never checked out (or been aware of) any punk houses round here. That crazy to have hardcore kids beat down but i guess that could happen!Quote:

Try something like that sometimes. It's like magic.
Great, now you ruined it.
Erm.. are you serious?Quote:

So, @Lifestyle X: people from Belgium usually have a belgian accent. And even the hottest top model cannot be sexy if he had that kind of accent. Haha, just kidding... I think.
And there's no arguing about the origin of French fries. We all know they're from Belgium, and we French people even have some jokes with fries included. (I wish I could tell you one, but you need to see it performed... too bad!)
Anyway, I'll let you know when I approach Belgium (which happens quite often since half my family lives like 15 km away from Belgium).
And Belgium has like the hottest sxe gigs in that corner of Europe, I heard!
You wouldn't have that problem with me babe, I don't even speak French ! Aren't there a lot of hardcore gigs in France ? I know that Terror plays in Antwerp in 2 weeks.
haha, your accent might be even worse, no idea!Quote:

Ans it's super cool to see hardcore gigs at metal gigs and metalheads at hardcore shows! But still no sxe stuffs! The only sxe band that has played near my place is Nueva Etica.
yuckQuote:

I haven't been to a show yet. My friend told me there's usually one around Oct 17th but there may not be one this year.
I'm 37.
I currently live in LA, and I've lived and been active in the punk scene in Wisconsin, Chicago, Boston, and New York. Moved to LA about a year ago and am still getting acclimated.
Having just read the new book on the hardcore scene in Detroit ("Why Be Something You're Not"), I'm keen on early Midwest hardcore bands right now.
Last night, I picked up two No Empathy records, a CD by The Fix, and the Negative Trend EP on CD. The Fix record is awesome.
I would have loved to have seen a show by Freewill (sxe?), Minor Threat, Seven Seconds, and Youth of Today.
welcome dude. wisconsin represent. Where in wisconsin did you hang out? Glad to know you're still edge after 21!
Grew up near Whitewater. Went to shows in Whitewater, Madison, and Milwaukee. Helped book shows and worked merch in Janesville and Beloit c. 1990. I remember hanging out on State Street, buying 7"'s at Cat's Meow.
Haven't been straight edge the whole time, alas. In college, and after, I drank a little, with a stint smoking -- but was still vegetarian (lacto-ovo). Now, in my 30s, I've ditched the drinking and cigs and am all the better for it. About 80% vegetarian.
Interested in reconnecting with the idealism and energy I used to get from hardcore. Which is what brought me here!
Welcome aboard then! Make sure you stay around for a little while. Start some topics. There are people who love hearing stories about past hardcore days so you might try starting with that. Just a hint you know xDQuote:

Anyways welcome back to the edge and work on the animal rights thing :-P. either way, start the thread crucial dude alluded too, i never heard of the cats meow so it must be gone now, we do have a pretty cool shop called earwax records though
