We feel like it’s intentional, how he appears with absolutely NOTHING on that stage. Not even a speck of dust. Just pure Tech. He doesn’t need the frills when he’s got that stage charisma. We’ve said it before, but everything Strange Music (Tech’s label) touches turns to gold. We’ve NEVER been to a Strange Music show and had a miserable time. It’s like the label only books the most entertaining performers around, as was evident by his selection of openers. The equally scary X-Raided (he came out SWINGING A SWORD, you guys!), Topeka’s top-notch lyricist Seuss Mace, and Lawrence’s number one rapper to watch, Silent Ave (you’ve heard us swoon enough on him already, but he’s really paving new trends in hip-hop, and we’re lucky to have him here).</p></div></body>

Tech N9ne, the King of Halloween

There’s no better musical act to see in this region during the scary season than Tech N9ne. Not only is he the King of Kansas City, he’s also the King of Halloween. He has an admiration and respect for the macabre, and he wears it year-round. On Thursday night, ahead of his sold-out show at the Granada, he delivered both a trick AND a treat for the fans by leading the annual Zombie Walk as the Grand Marshall… but he did it in costume! So when “Dr. Satan” from “House of 1000 Corpses” glided by the line wrapping around the Granada, little did fans know it was actually who they were in line to see (though some were tipped off by Tech N9ne’s bodyguard, who was humongous and terrifying and gave major Shredder vibes).
