Previews for September's first epic week of concerts!

The month has barely started and already the Lawrence music scene is amped up with shows! Tomorrow night there are two great concerts downtown, another the next night, and even Sound Tribe coming up this weekend!

Thursday night, local music lovers will have plenty of options downtown. The Floozies are having their Homecoming celebration at the Bottleneck with South Carolina-based The Malah. The show starts at 9:30 p.m. for just $5. The Floozies' style of funky, jazzy jam is pure party music, and with a dedicated following of fans in Lawrence, this show is guaranteed to rock.

At the very same time, From Quiet Arms is having a CD release party at the Granada. The local Alternative Rock group has completed a 10 track album they are selling for just $5, and will be performing every song from the CD in order, at the Granada to give the audience a demonstration of what they've accomplished. The show starts early with three openers, Cloud Dog, Mother Culture, and PM Today. The headlining band comes on at 11 p.m. From Quiet Arms has taken their stage presence to a new level, with a third guitarist, and second keyboard to give their performance a fuller sound. Every crescendo and climax will feel tremendous with the band's added instruments, and the entire set will include an extravagant light show. This show will also be just $5.

Deciding which show to attend is a tough call, but no matter where you wind up, it's sure to be a great night for music downtown.

Friday night Mountain Sprout, one of the best bluegrass bands around will be coming up to the Bottleneck from their home in Arkansas. These guys really know how to party. Every show is a hilarious, boot-stompin', beer-drinkin' riot. Come ready to rage it with wild bluegrass folks.

Skipping ahead to Sunday: Sound Tribe Sector 9 will be playing at the Crossroads in Kansas City. STS9 usually stops by Lawrence a little later in the fall, but this is a welcome surprise, and the outdoor venue will be a great location for this epic electronic jam band to rock out at. Tickets sold at the Bottleneck were only $27. They may have already sold out, but if you can get there, it will be worth anything to be at this show.

This is shaping up to be a great month for concerts. Stay tuned for more previews of awesome shows coming up soon!
