    The Wandering Bard Returns – Dandelion Lakewood on Life, Travel & Music | KCene with Vader & Julianna

    Vader and Julianna sit down with Kansas City’s own Dandelion Lakewood — multi-instrumentalist, audio engineer, video maker, and self-described transnational faerie elf bard. In this heartfelt episode, Dandy opens up about his unexpected transformation in 2014: leaving his life in Chicago to become a wandering bard, spending eight formative years traveling through Hawai’i and across Europe. He shares raw stories of street performing, cultural awakenings, how living abroad completely reshaped how he sees society, freedom, and creativity — and what it felt like to eventually bring all of that wisdom back home to Kansas City. We also touch on his latest music, including the atmospheric new single “Dropping Leaves, Setting Sun” and its haunting B-side “The Longest Night,” and how his years on the road continue to influence his songwriting and sound. If you’ve ever dreamed of dropping everything to chase music and meaning, this conversation is for you. 🎧 Stream Dandelion Lakewood on Bandcamp & Spotify → [link in pinned comment / bio] Follow Dandelion Lakewood: @bowlofdust | Bowl of Dust & Co.

    [SPACE] Jockey: Shoegaze Catharsis, Modern Comforts & KC Underground Real Talk

    New KCene drop: We go deep with [SPACE] Jockey, the Kansas City shoegaze/rock band crafting hazy textures, melodic vulnerability, and raw emotional punches. Fronted by Cheyenne's vocals (joined by Chris Swartley on guitars, Kevin Ingraham on drums, and Matt Tuttle on bass), they formed officially in 2023 after years of friend-jams—and their debut album Modern Comforts (Nov 2024) is earning love as 'all killer, no filler' earnest punk for late nights and loud speakers. In this episode: How the band evolved from creative hangouts to locked-in lineup and signature sound (Deftones intensity meets Paramore emotional edge) Songwriting layers: Starting with personal vulnerability, building confrontation through riffs and atmosphere, and Chris's wild ideas turning into great songs. Behind-the-scenes on Modern Comforts—tracks like 'Brain Dead,' 'Treading Glass,' 'Terminal Boredom,' 'The Well,' and what makes the record hit so cathartic Live fire: Energy at Sk8bar, VooDoo Lounge, and connecting with KC crowds in the heavier shoegaze lane. We also touch bigger questions bubbling in the scene: AI's role in music/art—does it clash with the human vulnerability at the core of their work? KC's underground potential— what's fueling the rise of alt/rock acts, and where could more support (venues, promo, community) help bands push further? Thanks to the band for the honest vibes. And this is Julianna McCarroll's first episode co-hosting—welcome to the crew!

    Human Creativity vs. AI + KC's Music Scene Reality Check: Jamogi Bridges on KCene

    🎤 Fresh on KCene: Our real, no-filter conversation diving into the tough issues facing creators and the local scene right now. We went deep on AI in art and music — the stance is clear: human creativity needs real protection. No free mixing without barriers, mandatory labeling, keeping AI out of competitive charts and streaming dominance, and shifting fans back toward owning/supporting genuine human-made work. AI's threat to the soul of music? We can't ignore it. Plus, the straight-up reality check on Kansas City's music scene — it's bursting with talent and energy, but KC isn't fully ready to expand and support indie/local artists at the next level. We break down the infrastructure gaps, venue challenges, funding needs, city strategy shortfalls (even with new amphitheaters coming), and why a stronger collective push is essential to grow without leaving artists behind. We also cover Jamogi's journey from California to KC, blending funk/jazz/dembow, Belize roots + KC vibes, upcoming gigs, staying authentic, and pushing through creative blocks. Big thanks to the KCene crew for hosting this unfiltered chat and thanks to Jamogi for participating—appreciate the platform to tackle what matters.
