What’s Up, Joeli? Oct. 18-Oct. 24

Here is your curated itinerary for the week. You’re welcome. (Daniel Thomas)

You might observe some bobbing heads, tapping toes, or maybe a girl doing a jump-snap-spin move at any given concert. Whatever you’re used to seeing, however, is nothing like the exorcist style of bone movement that occurs amidst some grimy dubstep. In other electronic dance music (EDM) crowds, you might also find the crowd fully immersed into their own bodies, flowing energetically with the music. This is the type of experience San Holo brings, a more psychedelic, ambient and genre-bending performance. This is why I love EDM, even if years have passed since my last EDM show. Prior to the pandemic, you could identify me in the pit at least once a month. San Holo is the perfect welcome back to the ravers of KC.

In This Moment & Black Veil Brides

Even I would have hesitated before clicking purchase on these tickets, but I couldn’t exclude this concert. In This Moment and The Black Veil Brides are certainly not bands for the faint of heart, but this will be one hell of a show, literally. Check out their music on YouTube and you’ll know if this is the October music event for you.

San Holo “BB U Ok?” Tour

And this leads us to the main event, San Holo. His music is the kind of ambient sound that you might put on in your car alone and forget where it was you were headed in the first place. What sets San Holo apart is his ability to please the crowd and teach them something new about music all the while. His skills on guitar are also a point of variation from other EDM artists.

Category: Music

When: Saturday, Oct. 23, 9 p.m.

Location: The Midland

Ron White

One of the greatest things I learned in my life is that raunchy, alcohol-guzzling Ron White is dear friends with none other than Dr. Phil. This unlikely friendship is just one example of the hilarity that is the life of Ron White. Usually holding a cigar and a glass of whisky, White rattles off tales of his personal life that will make anyone’s cheeks sore. This conflicts with San Holo, so yes, I will miss it, but if you love comedy more than dancing in the dark with strangers don’t hesitate on this one.
