The weekend before Halloween, Friday, October 26 and Saturday, October 27, 2018, the festival Outer Reaches will haunt the crowds at recordBar (1520 Grand Avenue) in Kansas City, Missouri.

 

The music of Outer Reaches 2018 will be showcased over two days on two stages at recordBar. The lineup includes touring acts Cave (Chicago, IL), Sound of Ceres (Brooklyn, NY), J Fernandez (Chicago, IL), Death Bells (Sydney, Australia), Heaven’s Gateway Drugs (Fort Wayne, IN), Black Givre (Montréal, Québec), and Kee Avil (Montréal, Québec).

Outer Reaches is a music festival based in Kansas City that showcases the ‘out there’, left-of-center, under-the-radar artists experimenting within and pushing boundaries in their respective genre. Regional acts as well as national and international touring acts are a part of the festival’s spirit, celebrating the variety of experimental music around the globe. There has always a strong tie to music that would fit into the realm of psychedelic music, but the festival has since opened up to more genres with a goal of promoting all music that is adventurous and mind expanding. The festival began in 2012 at FOKL Center, a community art space in downtown Kansas City, Kansas and was organized by Dedric Moore of local psych / experimental bands Monta At Odds and Mysterious Clouds. Adding Haymaker Records owner Brenton Cook and recordBar owner Steve Tulipana to the Outer Reaches crew, the trio have sought to grow and change the festival each and every year. This will be the first year that the festival falls the weekend before Halloween.

 

Outer Reaches 2018 is a partnership between the festival and Midwest Music Foundation and has been made possible through a grant from the Kansas City Neighborhood Tourist Development Fund.
