FEATURED EVENTS
SENTENCES // MIDNIGHT MOVIE CLUB // SUTURE // ACETONE
Four bands, zero cover, and a full night of ska-punk, hardcore, and heavy emo at Kirby’s Beer Store!
Wichita’s Midnight Movie Club brings the party with a high-energy, horn-driven blend of ska and punk, mixing infectious rhythms, irreverent humor, and unexpected covers guaranteed to get the room moving.
Sentences delivers an entirely different kind of intensity, combining emotional hardcore with jagged rhythms, unconventional time signatures, and nasty, dissonant guitar work.
From Winfield, Suture cranks up the aggression with blistering, sludge-soaked hardcore punk. This power trio brings speed, grit, and plenty of volume.
Rounding out the lineup, Acetone serves up heavy, emotionally charged emo, adding another layer of raw intensity to an already stacked night of underground music.
Four distinct sounds, plenty of energy, and absolutely no admission charge. Come support the local and regional underground at Kirby’s!
Music starts at 9PM. Free admission. 21+ with valid ID. Please tip the bands!
GOTH NITE
Goth Nite returns to Kirby’s Beer Store, presented by Perfect Void, and it continues to stand as one of the strongest goth nights in the country. Helmed by resident selectors Lady Hylle and Act of Contrition, the night moves effortlessly from classic darkwave and post-punk into newer underground currents, all dialed into a packed room that actually lives for it. This isn’t cosplay nightlife. It is a real scene, sweaty and immersive, where the dance floor stays full and the energy never dips. Come dressed, come curious, or just come ready to move.
HALLOWEEN
10pm to Close.
