Massive Lineup for Omaha this Wedneday
Shows at The Astro, Waiting Room, Reverb Lounge, Slowdown, Steelhouse Omaha, Barnato and more.
There is a lot happening tonight. Let’s get into it. Mike Ness and his legendary punk band Social Distortion come to The Astro in La Vista this evening. The band has been touring with Bad Relgion, but those shows got kind of split up for Omaha, with Bad Religion coming last year and Social Distortion this year. This was due to Ness battling tonsil cancer. Our area has seen some legendary shows from this band at DIY clubs, The Ranch Bowl, and Sokol Auditorium, and tonight should be another one.
Taylor Swift’s main man (not Travis), producer and songwriter Jack Antonoff, will be at Steelhouse Omaha with his band Bleachers. Bleachers just released their self-titled album in March.
90’s hitmaker rock band Mr. Big will be at the intimate Barnato tonight. The band is on their final tour and will play their classic album, Lean Into It, in full this evening.
It will be a rawkus night at Reverb Lounge as rock bands Electric Six and Supersuckers combine for one hell of a double bill.
Denver thrash metal band Havock returns to Omaha to play at The Waiting Room. The band was formed 20 years ago and releases albums on the popular metal label Century Media. Also on the bill is Exmortus.
I am going to try to make it to Slowdown tonight for Eyedress, who is a synthy bedroom pop, post punk, hip-hop, goth-you name it artist. The current album is Vampire in Beverly Hills, which is 34 tracks long and quite good. Also on the lineup tonight is Na-Kel Smith from the Odd Futures collective that brought us Tyler the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, and more.
Here is the full list of what is happening this evening. If you want to plan out the rest of the week, you can do so HERE.
