You just didn't specify that you meant people who exclusively went to that club were white trash. And since when was Pabst Blue Ribbon ironic?

The Beaumont Club, was, indeed, before the last 2-4 years, essentially a white trash cowboy/metal bar. That might sound like an insult to you, but for most Kansas Citians - real KC - that's almost a badge of honor. If you were looking for PBR before it was ironic, wanted to ride a mechanical bull and end the night possibly getting your ass beat to the tune of the new Dwight Yoakam, that was your place to be. That being said, the Beaumont needs to upgrade their sound - that's a positive thing, Justin. If they don't, they are going to cause a lot of bands that aren't going to settle for "just whatever" to go back to skipping KC when planning tours. I'm not concerned about the egos at the Beaumont - I'm concerned about the concert/show experience of people who pay $XX/ticket to go to a show there.

What do you mean when you say call locals white trash. Maybe you should just lower your expectations before you leave the house or better yet just stay in. All people like you do is push KC down deeper than it already is. There are many good shows all over town that do way more to promote local music than your blog. Maybe try Overland Park in the future. I think it may be more your speed. While I tend to agree with some of you points I can’t help but wonder…Do you ever have anything positive to say?
