"Spring into Summer" with seven bands at the Replay Lounge and two at the Jackpot Saloon. A $2 cover gets you into both venues all night to see this walloping mega-bill of top-shelf local rock, hip-hop, metal, alt-country and DJ acts. Lawrence's Appleseed Cast and Kansas City's Republic Tigers are two of the best in the business when it comes to mixing unique melodies with copious experimentation and sonic detritus. Approach holds down the funk-infused hip-hop tip, while DJ Konsept rocks the decks for local weeklies NEON and Table Manners. The Esoteric is Lawrence's resident metal vanguard, and Paper Airplanes will haul ass from Wichita to bring their intelligently crafted groupsing indie vibes. Local karaoke king Brodioke keeps the patio drunkies satiated from 11pm onward, preceded by Only Chillin'-a one-off group that purportedly looks exactly like The Only Children. Appleseed Cast sister project Old Canes play the dinner hour with an acoustic take on singer Chris Crisci's poetic songsmithing.

whoever had the idea for this show is brilliant, how much more fun can you have on a saturday afternoon than listening to all this great local music outside on the patio for only two bucks. replay and jackpot should do this more often.

correction:
Konsept will not be djing at this event.
Instead he'll be djing a huge party at Fatsos, 1016 Mass.
