Milestones: Midwest Pt 1 - Kansas City
Sunday October 4, 2009 by Offwhyte
Back when Galapagos4 first started going on the road, the first shows we did were all in the Midwest. The earliest I remember is hearing about Qwel and Meaty going to do a show in Louisville. And I was so jealous that they were going to Louisville! But anyway, at that time, the promoters that started getting ahold of us just happened to be in places nearby: Iowa City, Milwaukee, Champaign, and the subject of this post, Kansas City. I don’t know much about KC but I do know that the Galapagos4 fans out there have always been very supportive. Photo credits on this post go to Syke.
Qwel, Meaty, Robust, Jackson Jones, Dreas and I first came to Kansas City in 2002 to rock at a festival called Goin' Off, and we did an in-store performance at a record store called Recycled Sounds. Recycled Sounds closed their doors a couple years ago, but it was a great establishment, one that definitely pumped a lot of Galapagos4 records straight into the Heartland. Here are some photos from the in-store.
