The Clyde books Kings Kaleidoscope
On Sunday, Oct. 22, at 7 p.m., The Clyde will welcome the faith-based alternative rock band Kings Kaleidoscope.
Employing a wide array of styles from math rock and hip-hop to chamber pop and anthemic indie rock, the group continues to blur genres and find favor with secular and nonsecular audiences.
Opening the show will be indie rockers Mike Mains & The Branches.
Tickets are on sale at clydetheatre.com, over the phone at (800) 514-3849, or in person at The Clyde box office and Sweetwater Sound.
Nita Strauss performing at Eclectic Room
If you were taken in by Nita Strauss’ guitar work when she performed with Alice Cooper at Memorial Coliseum this month, then I have good news for you. The guitar virtuoso is embarking on a monthlong solo tour between her Cooper shows.
The Summer Storm Tour will make a stop at The Eclectic Room in Angola on Friday, June 23, at 7:30 p.m. She will be joined by special guests Lions at the Gate.
Tickets are available via TicketWeb.
After her solo tour wraps up, she will jump back in with Cooper who has a run of August dates with Mötley Crüe and Def Leppard before embarking on a co-headlining tour with Rob Zombie.
Catch Alexander Craig at The Rail
When producer, singer-songwriter, and prodigal son of rock Alexander Craig visits The Brass Rail on Thursday, June 15, he’ll have local band Left Lane Cruiser as his opening act.
The Minnesota-based artist wrote and produced a handful of albums and performed thousands of gigs as Crankshaft from 2008-18. With a new perspective on life, he decided to get rid of the persona and reinvent himself using his given name.
His songs are as wide-ranging as his character; swampy gut-bucket blues to blistering punk inspired rock n’ roll. It’s a perfect match with Left Lane Cruiser.
This show will only cost you $7 at the door.
