Big Dudes Music City is amazing! The staff is even better! Be sure to give them a visit! They’ll get you Rockin’ no matter what you need! Just dropped a flyer for The David Luther album release show next Wednesday, March 23rd at the Westport Bowery Hope to see you there! It’s going to be grand! Tickets provided by Moon Tower Tickets!

Thanks Big Dudes Music City for always letting me test your merch🤘🏻 and being so supportive. Ready for my 3rd MammothWVH show. One of my favorite bands.
Big Dudes Music City is pretty special to me. The staff there is the absolute best! When I wear this shirt, I tell this story, because it’s a great example of the service you’ll receive. One day picking up rental gear for a show when I got out to the parking lot after loading everything up, my car wouldn’t start. I walked back into the store and asked if anyone had jumper cables, and no one did. Mark the owner over heard and literally dropped everything he was doing, and offered to take me to the parts store to grab a set of jumper cables for the shop, since there were none. I’ll never forget that. When we got to the parts store I insisted on buying them, and leaving them at the store should they encounter a similar situation in the future. He helped me jump my car, and I was off. That’s community, and if you’re ever in need of gear make sure that Big Dudes in Kansas City is your first stop! They rock!

What’s wonderful is these people! Ziggy and the Neptunes is just one of this amazing trio’s projects! They are outstanding! Last night to a "Sold Out" crowd they brought all the joy and cheer you could ever need rolling into the holidays!
such a wonderful job as always so professional and inviting! Thanks so much for the positive impression you make on so many! Be sure to check out Quixotic and catch one of their shows at Crown Center if your fortunate enough to find a ticket! They are absolutely wonderful!

Special thanks to our sponsors!

Classy, crisp, and unique; The limited edition Oregon Concert White Sand. Find this model at Big Dudes Music City!
Good Morning Y’all! Hope you’re well!

There’s always a great story behind a shirt! Just like many things it connects us to a memory. I picked this sweet tee up at a show that I’d helped put together for This is Love at Middle of the Map Fest I purchased it at the merch table just before the show. This one was a doozy, it was outside on the patio at Old Shawnee Pizza-Shawnee in NKC, at first we were looking to have a small band 4 to 5 musicians, well that quickly erupted into 10+, fortunately for me that day I’d purchased 3 additional mics and stands just in case, and rented some gear from Big Dudes Music City. That night McClain Johnson opened up the evening spinning some sweet tunes! If you didn’t know Nathan Reusch and Chris Haghirian are the amazing people behind Middle, they always deserve a shout out, because they are absolutely amazing humans! Thank you two for the opportunity to be a small part of this! It was an honor to meet Rudy Love & The Love Family that night I’ll never forget! Thank you!

Hey, hey!

Hope you’re all having a great day! I picked this sweet tee up at Big Dudes Music City at one of my many stops in when I was booking and running sound for Old Shawnee Pizza - Cocktails & Live Music in NKC and ULAH for the Live Sessions! Big Dudes has always been there for me and so many, and if you’ve not been in give them a visit! Located in the heart of KC! If you’re a touring artist, musician, dj, sound engineer, you name it, and I’m sure they’ve got you covered or will point you in the right direction!

Semper Fi,
Sarge

🔥Clinic Weekend🔥

We had such a great weekend at !

With a packed house and an incredible clinic performed by our very own WFL III endorser John Humphreyof Seether ! John has such a intricate and technical way of approaching
the full on ROCK genre. The intentionality of his parts really shined when it was just him on stage! Trust us when we say this the drums sounded HUGE. The Kick drums were literal cannons😳🔥

Thanks to everyone who came to be apart of the clinic! Also a major shout out to Larry and Big Dudes Music Cityfor putting all of this together! We are so appreciative of everything you do for WFL III Drums!

Mark Your calendars !!!

Damn good people is the first thing that comes to mind! I don’t even know where to begin! Okay, one day renting gear for a show I’d put together, I go out to my car and it won’t start. So I walk back inside, and ask if they had any jumper cables, and if someone wouldn’t mind giving me a jumpstart. A couple employees asked around to the other staff, we came up empty handed. Mark the owner of Big Dudes Music City comes downstairs from his office, and says I’ll take you to grab some jumper cables at the near by auto parts store, he’d said it might be good to have them around anyways. We jump in his car, and head to I insisted on buying, because he’d already given me a ride and taken the time to do so. I believe to this day there’s a pair of jumper cables there, should you ever find yourself in that situation. I can’t speak highly enough about how great everyone’s been there! Kyle, you rock my friend! If your passing through or in town stop in and say hello. They’re the best, and will get you set up just right!
Happy WFL III DRUMS WEDNESDAY! Thank you to Big Dudes Music City for being such a advocate for WFL III and spreading the word of Bill’s family legacy!

J Mascis' latest creation from Fender just arrived!

An icon of alternative rock, J Mascis’ penchant for running Fender guitars into stacks of amps to create massive fuzzy riffs, incendiary leads and huge hooks have made his work in Dinosaur Jr and on solo records an indispensable part of rock history, influencing countless artists to follow. The J Mascis Telecaster recreates J’s favorite guitar, an original 1958 top-loader Tele, with which he recorded most of his lead work throughout his career. Features include a Dazzling Bottle Rocket Blue Flake finish, mirrored chrome pickguard, custom J Mascis Telecaster pickups, top-loader bridge and Road Worn maple neck and hardware.

Hurry and Pre-Order the USA built Marcus King "MK Ultra Amp" from Orange Amplifiers with only 1 available. Created in conjunction with guitar prodigy and Grammy Award-nominated singer–songwriter Marcus King, the MK Ultra is the first-ever amplifier designed with Orange USA and built in the USA. Using the highest-quality components available, including American-made custom Heyboer transformers, this hand-wired 30-watt all-valve guitar amplifier represents a marriage of classic American and British tonal sensibilities. Make no mistake though, this is not a copy of a previous design with slight modifications. This is a unique innovation that offers a new approach to the trademark Orange sound.

More Electromatic series have arrived from Gretsch Guitars!

No nonsense, Electromatic models are the perfect real, pure and powerful Gretsch instruments. They're your next-step Gretsch bold, dynamic and articulate, and crafted with essential Gretsch sound, style and playability. Classic tone begins with a chambered mahogany body with maple top that produces full lows and mid's with an exceptionally smooth and present high end. The result is a deep acoustic foundation that is robust, yet balanced. Black Top Filter'Tron pickups amplify and accentuate the Electromatic chambered body to produce a wide, balanced and transparent tone. Loud and punchy, this Jet sounds out with remarkable definition at any level of gain. Together, the body and pickups thunder with full, responsive lows and mid's with a high end that sparkles without spikes. Swing by Big Dudes Music City for a true test and start sounding like a legend.
