The Architects with The Bronx, July 22, 2006

A punk rock battle-of-the-bands took place early Saturday evening at The Record Bar in Kansas City.

















The Architects, my favorite Kansas City rock band, played after Warrensburg, MO, act Super Black Market. This is Brandon Phillips of the Architects.



















The green wristbands on the Architects indicate that this was a rare all-ages show.

























The Architects are so good that they can play with their eyes closed.

























Who you calling trash!



















The Bronx possess a might roar.

















So, who won? While The Bronx were louder, tighter and the clear audience favorite, the prize goes to the winner, and still number-one-contender-in-the-world, Kansas City's Architects.
