Watercolor

Watercolor play Janitors Closet on Saturday, October 10, starting at 7:30 PM. It's a local night for a local band, and they're the only act on the bill.

Watercolor is a Kansas City band, so this is home turf for them. They describe their sound as emo, alternative, pop-punk and rock, which covers a fair amount of ground. The emo and pop-punk side puts them in the neighborhood of the melodic, guitar-driven stuff that defined the early 2000s, while the alternative and rock labels pull in a broader, more straightforward sound. It's the kind of set that works whether you're there for the hooks or the heavier side of things.

Since they're based right here in KC, this is one of those shows where you're seeing them in their own city rather than on a tour stop. They'll be playing a full set, and as the sole bill of the night, they've got the whole evening to work through. If you've caught them around town before, you know the general territory they cover; if you haven't, this is a good place to start.

It all goes down at Janitors Closet in Kansas City, MO, on Saturday, October 10, with the music kicking off at 7:30 PM.
