 kirkasthemeld Oh yeah. Fugazi at the Outhouse. This show was legendary. I met Ian Mackaye after the show and tried to ask him an innocent question about him being a vegetarian/vegan. He answered rather snarkily. I later learned that he had been given some shit by an Outhouse promoter and may not have gotten paid for the gig, so I can understand why he was upset. Also, it was KS, which I imagine was a bit weird for a DC band to come to. Fugazi / Sin City Disciples Sep 12, 2019
 kirkasthemeld A fun show, and one of the very few that I went to in Wichita. I went with Dave Almanza. Torte Elvis was hilarious and it was a lot of fun. Dread Zeppelin Sep 12, 2019
 kirkasthemeld This was a hilarious show that my sister and I went to at the KS State Fair. Since Hutch had never had a rap artist play there before, in typical racist fashion, the city assumed that there would be gang activity at the concert and the police were there en masse. Of course, it was fine and nothing ever happened. Michael Damian / Kool Moe Dee Sep 12, 2019
 kirkasthemeld This is the infamous $7 Nirvana show. Right before they broke into the mainstream with "Smells Like Teen Spirit". I really didn't know them too well before the show and mostly went for UO, I later became a huge fan. It was an amazing night. I love UO and totally disagree with those who said that they sucked at this show. Nirvana / Urge Overkill / Paw Sep 12, 2019
 kirkasthemeld This was the last show that I went to at the famous Outhouse. It was a fun ska show with some local, and semi local bands. Skankin' Pickle / The Blue Meanies Sep 12, 2019
 kirkasthemeld This was a cool show, and one of the only hip-hop shows that I have been to. The only thing that I didn't like was that the bass was so loud that it drowned out a lot of the rest of the music. Public Enemy Sep 12, 2019
 kirkasthemeld I had to guess on the date of this show, but I am pretty sure that it was in 1992. They played at the Down and Under, which is now the 8th Street Taproom. Shannon came out with mouse traps on his ears and no shirt on and they were insane, noisy, slightly scary, and great. Cows Sep 12, 2019
 kirkasthemeld This was a really cool show. I remember Throwing Muses being great and although I wasn't a fan of the Lips yet (I would become a big fan later on), I remember them being good, but really LOUD. Throwing Muses / The Flaming Lips Sep 12, 2019
 kirkasthemeld This was an awesome show. I remember Dinosaur Jr. was extremely loud and raw. They had cool lights and plants on stage, which made for a cool atmosphere. Dinosaur Jr. / The Spinanes Sep 12, 2019
 kirkasthemeld This was an awesome showcase. I went for Zoom, of whom I was and am a huge fan. This was the first time that I ever heard Hum and was blown away by their intensity. It was great. At the long, lost Hideaway venue. Hum / Zoom / Panel Donor Sep 12, 2019
 kirkasthemeld This was an awesome show. Jesus Lizard were so powerful and creepy, just like you would hope. Raw intensity. The Jezus Lizard Sep 12, 2019
 kirkasthemeld This was a killer show at Memorial Hall. Nirvana had just released In Utero and was in fine form. I was a huge Mudhoney fan as well. Great all around. I remember Nirvana destroying most of their equipment at the end of the show, including Kurt destroying a life-size anatomical doll. Jawbreaker / Mudhoney / Nirvana Sep 12, 2019
 kirkasthemeld What a fun show! I was a huge UO fan at the time (still am) and it was great. The band was decked out in shirts that spelled out URGE and they rocked, despite a mud fight breaking out in the crowd. Luckily, I was far enough back that I didn't get in on it. Urge Overkill Sep 12, 2019
 kirkasthemeld This was an awesome show. Lux had his dick out half way through the show and the band was hot an heavy all night. The Cramps Sep 12, 2019
 kirkasthemeld This was one of the first truly psychedelic show experiences. I was working a terrible janitor job at the time and to go to this show right after work was exhilarating. The Lips came out on what seemed to be a minimal stage set up, only to blow my mind wide open when they flipped a switch and a giant music-synced Christmas light display came on. It was so much fun. I thought at one point that I had lit my sleeve on fire, but it was just my imagination. The Flaming Lips Sep 12, 2019
 kirkasthemeld About as anticlimactic as a show on my birthday could be. I was so hyped to see the Butthole Surfers and I got to, but they were a shell of what they had been by that time. In addition to that, I had to endure an hour plus long set of the Toadies, who were awful. Toadies / Reverend Horton Heat / Supersuckers / Butthole Surfers Sep 12, 2019
 kirkasthemeld This was on the 12 Golden Country Hits tour and was really fun. I was on "it" at the show and the band had a full blown country band backing them. Deaner accidentally injured the pedal steel player by swinging his guitar around and hitting him in the head. He was bleeding like a stuck pig. Ween / Doo Rag Sep 12, 2019
 kirkasthemeld Saw ol' RL at the KC Blues and Jazz fest. He was great, but had to play seated as he was old and frail. He autographed my ticket (which I have since lost) after the show and I was amazed to learn that he was nearly entirely blind. R.L. Burnside Sep 12, 2019
 kirkasthemeld Went to this one with my girlfriend at the time. The band came out on stage in a giant lemon-shaped disco ball. It was pompous and ridiculous. What a bunch of "rock stars". U2 / Third Eye Blind Sep 12, 2019
 kirkasthemeld This was neat, but a bit of a disappointment. The band had a handful of volunteers come on stage with boomboxes and conducted them through a cassette-driven orchestral version of some songs. A cool idea, based on their parking garage orchestra idea, but it didn't translate too well. The Flaming Lips Boombox Experiment Sep 12, 2019
