You will recognize him as the official DJ for Club Vortex since 2018! \nPaul’s DJ style is much like his long-standing love of music; varied\, informed by many different styles\, and constantly looking for the newest sounds. Growing up in the late 70s and early 80s\, Paul discovered music at the height of disco and the beginning of the punk and new wave era of the very early 80s. Always a fan of propulsive\, beat-driven music\, Paul also loved the emerging synthpop wave of bands coming out of the UK and Europe\, from experimental to pure pop to industrial funk and dark ambient soundscapes. He also had a great love of early electro and hip-hop music coming from America\, and loved seeing the musical styles from all over the world inform each other. \nAbout The Kunty Kittens: \nThe Kunty Kittens are the first and only drag girl group in Michigan established in 2015 that travels all over the state to multiple venues entertaining the masses with burlesque\, comedy\, glamour\, and shenanigans! \nHere is our 2023 State on the Street lineup: \n\nJune 2nd —Lady Ace presents featuring Venus Flyytrap\, Jes Kramer\, Raydale Shamine and August*\nJuly 14th — Jake Kershaw\nAugust 4th — Fake Baseball\nSeptember 15th — Delilah Dewylde\nOctober 6th — The Battle For Kalamazoo finale**\n\n  *= Special start time: patio and bar opening at 5:30PM and live music from 6:00-8:30PM \n**= More information coming soon \nWe can’t wait to see you all at these free\, outdoor events! \nWhat To Expect: \n\nFree admission\nThrowback drink specials available to purchase outside of KST\nVisit local business and organization tables including Drue Salon\, OutFront\, and more TBD\nEnjoy live music from from 5:30-8:30PM\nKST Box Office and Merch on site\nTo-go drinks in Social District cups\n\n\nRSVP On Facebook – www.facebook.com/pg/kazoostate/events/ \nSign Up For Our Exclusive E-blast

SUMMARY:St. Paul & The Broken Bones — The Angels in Science Fiction Tour
DESCRIPTION:Kalamazoo State Theatre  \nWhat To Know Before Attending The Show \n\nAll bags and purses must be under 8″ x 5″ x 2″ – Click for more details\n\nDoors: 6:30 PM | Show: 7:30 PM \nBuy Tickets HERE\nThe eight-piece kings of soul\, St. Paul & The Broken Bones\, will bring their Angels In Science Fiction tour to the historic Kalamazoo State Theatre on Wednesday\, September 27\, with special guest Abraham Alexander. \nAbout St. Paul & The Broken Bones: \nFounded in Birmingham\, Alabama in 2011\, St. Paul & the Broken Bones consists of Paul Janeway (vocals)\, Jesse Phillips (bass)\, Browan Lollar (guitar)\, Kevin Leon (drums)\, Al Gamble (keyboards)\, Allen Branstetter (trumpet)\, Chad Fisher (trombone)\, and Amari Ansari (saxophone). The eight-piece ensemble burst into the world with their 2014 debut Half the City\, establishing a sound that quickly became a calling card and landing the band a slew of major festivals including Lollapalooza\, Coachella and Glastonbury. Critical praise from The New York Times\, Rolling Stone\, SPIN and NPR followed\, leading to shared stages with some of the world’s biggest artists—Elton John and The Rolling Stones among them—and launching an impressive run of headlining tours behind what Esquire touted as a “potent live show that knocks audiences on their ass.” \nThe group has continued to expand their sound with every record\, branching out well beyond old-school soul into sleek summertime funk and classic disco on albums like 2018’s Young Sick Camellia. Their forthcoming LP\, Angels In Science Fiction\, stretches their limbs further afield\, building on the shadowy psychedelia and intricate\, experimental R&B of 2022’s The Alien Coast. \nGeneral Ticket Information:\n \nThis event features both general admission pit and reserved seating throughout the theatre. There’s a 6-ticket limit. \n\n$35-$130\nLimited VIP available\n\nOne premium reserved ticket -or- general admission ticket\nEarly venue entry\nIntimate pre-show soundcheck performance by the Broken Bones\nExclusive limited edition signed merch item \nOfficial pre-show VIP laminate\nMerchandise shopping before doors open to the general public\nLimited availability\n\n\n\nAttention ticket buyers: Please note that individuals seated in the first three rows of the main floor may experience obstructed views from the General Admission/Pit section.  \n \nSecurity Information:\nAll patrons are subject to search\, pat down\, and wanding.  The following items are not allowed in the venue: guns\, knives\, lasers\, tasers\, mace\, glass items\, cameras\, selfie sticks\, outside food or beverage\, no bags over the dimensions of 8 inches wide by 5 inches tall with a width of 2 inches\,  and other items that may challenge public safety.  You can view our full list by visiting our frequently asked questions here
