Eight One Sixty

The Riot Room


Listen Later

On this week's episode of the Eight One Sixty, we're celebrating The Riot Room! For 13 years, The Riot Room has been hosting shows here in KC, and owners Tim and Dallas Gutschenritter have worked hard to run a great venue. They recently launched a GoFundMe to stay afloat.

This week on the show, we’ll do a deep dive into The Riot Room, as well as talk about some of our favorite shows and stories from our many (many) nights at the venue over the last decade.

We’ll hear music from and stories about Lord HuronHooray For EarthPhantogramSharon Van Etten, A Lull, Adia VictoriaThe Joy Formidable. and Fucked Up. We'll also have some honorable mentions from names like Donnie Matthews “The Beer Guy”, Neill SmithDavid GeorgeThe LumineersRL Brooks and Sisters Of, The Appleseed CastThe Casket LotteryJason F. HarperStrand of OaksRadar StateHermon Mehari and Heartfelt Anarchy, Thom Yorke, Shabazz PalacesNathan ReuschMiddle of the Map FestEBONY TUSKSRussian CirclesEl Ten ElevenJacki BeckerMammoth and so much more.

If you’re missing shows and the conversations you have with people between sets, this will be a fun show for you. I’m hoping if you were at any of these shows, or have similar stories of seeing great bands at Riot and how they’ve left a lasting impression on you, you’ll consider throwing a few bucks in the hat for their GoFundMe page.

Hat tip to Dallas, Timmy, and their crew over the years for giving KC a great space to see live music, and hopefully we’ll get back to doing that soon.
