Now that the weather has began to change, it's time to get outdoors and start living again, and what better way to do it than soak up the latest in the music scene. Kansas City, Mo., and the surrounding areas are a gold mine for small venues in which you can find a variety of genres of music and a thriving social scene.

Armor for Sleep, a New Jersey based rock band, recently came to The Record Bar in Westport in Kansas City. Armor for Sleep has been living the dream of every wannabe rock band ever since early 2003. It was then that Armor for Sleep released their debut album, Dream to Make Believe. Their first album secured a strong fan base that has been growing ever since.

Then, in 2005, Armor for Sleep released their better known album entitled, What to do When You're Dead, which built up their fan base enough they headlined their own tour.

Armor for Sleep has been on tour on and off for the past couple of years. Additionally, they're growing more and more popular with every tour.

Known for an energetic show, and both hard and soft songs, Armor for Sleep is certainly worth checking out. However, while you're waiting for them to return to Kansas City, I highly suggest checking out the other bands bouncing around Kansas City.

In the meantime, check out Main Street Café and the Grand Emporium located in Downtown Kansas City. These venues host a number of local talents, and you're sure to find a night that works for you because they have a varied schedule of times and days for shows. You won't have to look far to find solid beats, and good times.
