Middle of the Map fest is the brainchild of The Record Machine label owner Nathan Reusch, who has been releasing music by bands from Kansas City and beyond since April 2003. Building on the success of last year?s fest, this year promises to be even more ambitious with 30 more bands and four more venues. Attendees will be able to see a variety of music acts and genres from rock, pop, indie, hip hop, electronic, shoegaze, psych, punk and more.
