Don't Miss Corners of the Sky: Wild Psychedelic Rock in KC!

Update Exploring the Wild Side of Kansas City's Music Scene If you're a music lover in Kansas City, chances are you've heard the buzz about the psychedelic rock band Corners of the Sky. In less than a year, they have solidified their status as a must-see live act, captivating audiences with a unique sound and unforgettable performances. On January 15, they will hit the Replay Lounge stage, showcasing their energetic and reverberating set that fans have come to adore. Recordings that Set the Tone Their latest album, Live Under A Bridge, released in December, captures the essence of what makes this band so engaging. As the title suggests, the album was recorded beneath an abandoned railroad bridge in North Lawrence, powered entirely by portable batteries—demonstrating a commitment to authenticity. Band members Jason Perez and Jacob Sell shared insights into their live recording process during a recent Zoom interview. “It’s just fun,” said Perez, explaining their unconventional recording locations. “You don’t see people playing outside much anymore. We’re trying to bring it back.” Their enthusiasm for this raw format is palpable, and it resonates in their music. Behind the Magic: Challenges and Innovations Despite the thrill of live recordings, it comes with its own set of challenges. “Battery life is a huge factor,” Perez noted, humorously recounting how their setup failed as they attempted an encore. The ingenuity involved in their recording methods, from the type of portable batteries used to adapting their performance space, reveals a commitment to creativity and innovation. Jacob brings to life the visual aspect of their performances, noting that video has always been integral to their identity. The band aims to capture the kinetic energy of their performances not only through sound but also through sight, a strategy that enhances the overall experience for fans. This emphasizes the importance of their dynamic presence on stage, adding another layer to their artistic expression.
