Antennas Up: June Artist of the Month

Antennas Up is one of our favorite Kansas City bands. Formed in 2008, the quartet showcases a range of genres in its music: funk, hip-hop, dance, electronic, and radio-friendly pop. The band is not afraid to take risks, but can execute its craft better than most bands in Kansas City, let alone around the nation.
The group's latest album, The Awkward Phase, was released on May 15 to favorable reviews.
The band also recently completed a successful Kickstarter project to get the album on airwaves across the country and more than exceeded the goal. Cheers!
Check out the first single from The Awkward Phase, "December."
Antennas Up is:
- Kyle Akers: lead vox, bass
- Bo McCall: guitar, vox
- The Ryantist: drums, vox
- Jonny Universe: guitar, keys, vox
