Nirvana and Green Day both played the Bottleneck's cramped stage, and that DIY spirit still defines Lawrence's sound. Indie rock and alternative bands headline the Granada and Liberty Hall on Massachusetts Street, while the Replay Lounge hosts folk and bluegrass pickers on its back patio. Jazz nights at the Jazz Haus and hip-hop showcases at local venues keep the University of Kansas town's musical appetite sharp and eclectic.
