Description: If Wakarusa is Lawrence’s answer to Bonaroo, then North vs. South is our town’s version of the Pitchfork Music Festival. More than 70 acts spanning the independent rock, alt-country and folk scenes converge in Lawrence for three wild nights at The Jackpot Saloon, The Replay Lounge (inside and outside) and Louise’s Downtown. Groups from Minneapolis, MN, and Austin, TX, represent the lion’s share of the lineup, but a dozen bands from Lawrence and Kansas City will also participate.
All-access bracelets available for $15 at Love Garden and The Replay Lounge. Tickets for individual shows available at the door for $2-3.
SATURDAY BEST BET: Grand Champeen, 1 a.m. at The Jackpot Saloon. After more than a decade and a bazillion tours, Grand Champeen is still one of the funnest rock and roll shows in the Western Hemisphere. The ambitious Austinites have four albums to their credit spanning Replacements-esque rock, indie-tinted guitar pop and the occasional Badfingered throwback. The group's latest LP "Dial T for This" sharpens the pop edges while channeling the same passion and charisma that characterized previous releases.
