A Darkwave Weekend, Farnam Fest, Strange Daze, The Voice Winner and More
Saturday and Sunday Live Music Lineup
Let’s do one more outdoor fest this year with Farnam Fest 2024! You get Minne Lussa, Velvet Velvet, Cowgirl Eastern, and DJ Herricane Cole. You also get Clarence Tilton who I talked about in the post yesterday which you can catch up on HERE.
The Kottonmouth Kings are back. Well, D-Loc and a new crew are. After Saint Dog’s passing in 2020, he is keeping the vibes going. The last time I saw Kottonmouth Kings, I was driving them from an instore to the Ranch Bowl down Dodge Street in rush hour traffic. We definitely got some looks, as they had all the garb on back then. You can catch up with them at The Royal Grove in Lincoln Saturday night. Rehab is also on the bill.
If you don’t get a little darkwave in your life in October, you are not doing October right. Two of the best in the genre in our area-Jeff In Leather and Ex-Lover pair up at The Sydney on Saturday night and Public Circuit and area faves Pagan Athletes are along for the ride.
Saturday October 12thOther happenings on Saturday night include power pop band Jukebox the Ghost at Slowdown, a free show at O’Leavers with Living Conditions, Spurney’s Hawk and Face, and a Folkhouse show with Cold Leather Seats at Joslyn Castle. It is night two of Omaha hard rock band Arson City’s Citizen Ball at Waiting Room Lounge. It is also night two of the Cats Under the Stars street dance at Brokedown Palace. On the lineup there today are Doc Webb, Hector Anchondo Band, Pretty Heady, Omaha Beat Brigade, Underbite, and Doom Lagoon. Happy Birthday to Jales Jon from Virgin Mary Pistol Grip! You can celebrate with them Saturday night at Harney Street Tavern with Waton & Co. also on the bill.
Canadian pop band Marianas Trench is coming to the Admiral onSunday. Also on the lineup is Cassadee Pope who recently left the country music world and now The Voice winner is trying something new. Marianas Trench is touring on their album Haven that came out a little over a month ago.
The Sydney continues a weekend of dark wave/cold wave synth goodness with Dancing Plague on Sunday night. The Portland Oregon artist has put out five albums of music in less than a decade and his 2019 album Too Still was among my best album list that year. It’s October, you go out and embrace this music, even on a Sunday night. Those are the rules.
Also happening on Sunday is MANIA: The Abba Tribute at Holland Center. Indie folk band Carbon Leaf is at The Waiting Room and they just released their fifteenth album Time is the Playground.
