**Kansas State Flower
Kansas State Flower

What is the Kansas state flower? The sunflower, of course! But it's also the neo-psychedelic collaborative trio of Major Matt Mason (Schwervon!), Julie DeLano (The Leader), and Christy Davis (Mold/DJ Spin-O-Mama). The only band in New York that covers Madonna and Gram Parsons in the same set, this is no ordinary flower. Verses and choruses that stay forever in your head, set in swirling landscapes that travel seamlessly from a growl to a whisper. Harmony and cacophony over a block-rocking rhythm section that is so agile it steps past you before you even realize it. Always facing the sun, while acknowledging those dark clouds. Wake up, Dorothy--you ARE in Kansas now.
