Zone Mondays
the archive

In March of '99, the Zone and the Grand Emporium teamed up to launch "Zone Mondays" at the famous blues club. These nights feature some of the greatest local bands from Kansas City, and are free to students with a valid student ID. So come on by this Monday, say hi, and pick up some free Zone stickers and keychains from us at the Zone table in the back. To find out who's playing this week, check out the Zone Monday feature section. It you want to find out what you've already missed, browse the reviews, reviews, and pictures from past shows below.

Bands interested in playing a Zone Monday show should send a CD and other promotional materials to:
