Looks like Lawrence is the place to be this weekend…
Especially if you want to see a guy in a top hat shoot ping pong balls out of his ….. mouth. Sorry. Apparently he can throw a dime in the air and then shoot a ball out of his mouth and hit it. Top notch! Yep, the Lawrence Busker Festival is this weekend, featuring a bunch of freaks that do weird stuff on the street. Check it.
Or maybe you’re more into old timey hats and such? Well, the Kansas State Fiddling & Picking Championships are in town as well, at multiple venues as well as in South Park on Mass. Street. Here’s the full schedule.
Friday, August 22nd
The Sluts and 3 other bands at Liberty Hall in Lawrence
Yeah, I know that garage rock was soooo Lawrence, like 3 years ago. But The Sluts do it really well, with a little bluesy edge to it. Kind of like the Black Keys only not really. A little harder and more interesting, in my book. This concert is actually billed as #ASSJAMZ, and it also features Approach, Paper Buffalo, and Spencer Brown, all for the low low price of $6.
I fucking love sluts!!! Never heard the band, but I assume composed of slightly overweight 20-something chicks with one or two unsightly tattoos, a few stretch marks, maybe a missing tooth?
