After the announcement that Kansas City’s City Market would no longer play host to 96. 5 the Buzz’s Buzz Under the Stars series, the radio station has announced its new venue as well as the lineup for the first night of the series.

Tickets for Buzz Freeloaders go on sale Wednesday at 10 a.m. General public can buy their tickets starting Friday.

Kansas celebrates Father’s Day with Father John Misty

“Happy Father’s Day, bastards.” That’s how Joshua Tillman opened his set at the Granada Sunday evening. Rather than offending the eager audience that chose to spend Father’s Day at a concert, Tillman was greeted by cheers. Lawrence had chosen to celebrate the holiday with a special Father — Father John Misty.

In a year of big blockbuster action movies and gut wrenching dramas, the comedy world hasn’t even been a contender in the fight for blockbuster dollar signs. Cue Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Their latest installment, “This Is The End,” literally puts Rogen and all of his real-life friends into the movie.
