Band Boomerangs Back To Omaha, Thrash Legends, Lincoln Will Find A Band, New Weekly Music Event and Improvisational Showcase
Tuesday Night Live Music Lineup
I am back from vacation and hope to have the weekly album list and curated playlist up tonight. Mainly to keep it consistent. Just did not have time on vacation to write it up.

You can check out the shows announced last week HERE
Friko is one of the most buzzed-about indie bands in recent memory, and they’re playing Reverb Lounge tonight.
Did they just play here last week with Black Country, New Road? Sure. But this show was announced first, and then they got added to that tour—so tonight’s show is still happening.
I’m happy about it since I was out of town and couldn’t see them last week. I caught them at Lincoln Calling last year, and they were an exciting, eclectic, and dynamic band live.
Check them out—or check them out again.
Spike and Kurt bring classic 80’s thrash band back out for a 2025 tour. D.R.I. (Dirty Rotten Imbecels) haven’t released a lot of new music in the past 30 years, but they do bring it to the stage still. They will be at Waiting Room tonight with Authors of Fate.
I Don’t Know How But They Found Me is at the Bourbon Theatre tonight. This is the project of Dallon Weekes former keyboardist and bassist from Panic! at the Disco and he returns to Nebraska for a show at Bourbon Theatre. I did an interview with him last year that you can read HERE.
There’s a new weekly event at North Omaha Music and Arts (NOMA)—Big Wade Tuesdays!
With his band, Black Swan Theory, Big Wade has won multiple Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards. He blends R&B with hip-hop and will be mixing it up weekly at NOMA Cafe.
Free admission
There will be a night of improvised music tonight at Project Project in the Vinton area, featuring performances from Ed Getzlaff, Jesse McBee, Phil Smith, and Kyle Jessen.
