www.KAUFFMANCENTER.org BLONDIE & GARBAGE: THE RAGE AND RAPTURE TOUR

Blondie & Garbage: The Rage and Rapture Tour brings two quintessential rock acts together to share the stage for one night. John Doe and Exene Cervenka, of the seminal 1970s Los Angeles punk rock band X, open tonight’s show.

The members of punk/new wave band Blondie are undeniable pop icons, their sound and sensibility as fresh as when they first topped the charts in the late 1970s. Blondie’s brand of cross-genre rock has spawned hits including “Call Me,” “Rapture” and “Heart of Glass.”

Garbage made a name in the mid-1990s with singles including “Only Happy When It Rains,” “Stupid Girl” and “#1 Crush.” Since the band’s self-titled debut in 1995, Garbage has crafted a blend of dark, industrial noise, sci-fi pop melodies and whirlwind guitar.

About Blondie

“Here comes the 21st Century,” Debbie Harry assuredly sang nearly three decades ago on her solo disc Def Dumb And Blonde, “it’s gonna be so much better for a girl like me.”

With the turn of the century well behind us now, that gleeful prediction has certainly come true: Singer-songwriter Harry, guitarist and co-writer Chris Stein, powerhouse drummer Clem Burke and their bandmates in Blondie are undeniable pop icons, their sound and sensibility as fresh as when they first topped the charts in the late 1970s. In their newest project, Po11inator, Blondie enlisted a group of cool songwriters to contribute to the record weaving their own way into the living, breathing story of Blondie, a group that directly affected their own genetic makeup as

www.KAUFFMANCENTER.org artists. The list is enviable and reflects the dynamism of Blondie’s very own cross-pollinating past – the fans and friends contributing material are blonde-bewigged superstar Sia, Blood Orange frontman Dev Hynes, British singer Charli XCX, Dave Sitek (TV On The Radio), Nick Valensi (The Strokes), Johnny Marr (The Smiths), and Canadian movie blogger and indie rocker (under the name An Unkindness) Adam Johnston. The invincible Joan Jett and crossdressing comedian and singer John Roberts, who rose from DIY YouTube sensation to Bob’s Burgers regular, both contribute vocals.

“We put the word out and asked people for songs and we got a lot of responses. I’m happy the way it all came together. It was a different approach for us, to draw in all of these things. I feel like we did what we did back then and we put out these sounds and ideas and now we’ve come full circle, pulling it back in, continuing this ongoing chain of events, this circular motion,” Harry shares.

About Garbage

Hailing from Madison, WI, Garbage is guitarist Duke Erikson, drummer Butch Vig, guitarist Steve Marker and lead singer Shirley Manson. On its 1995 debut, garbage, the band’s unique sound and provocative visual aesthetic inspired massive worldwide attention.

Garbage’s follow-up album, Version 2.0, released in 1998, topped charts all over the world and garnered multiple GRAMMY Award nominations, including Album Of The Year. Garbage went on to release two more albums: 2001’s Beautiful Garbage and 2005’s Bleed Like Me.

After a 7-year hiatus, the band released its fifth studio album, Not Your Kind of People, in 2012 on its independent record label, STUNVOLUME. The album was named one of Rolling Stone magazine’s Top 50 Albums of 2012 and was hailed as the “alternative to everything,” by Pitchfork. Garbage has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide and performed in more than 35 countries.

In 2015, the band celebrated its 20th anniversary with a sold-out world tour and the release of a special 20th anniversary edition of its debut album, re-mastered and featuring previously unreleased material. In 2016, Garbage released Strange Little Birds, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Rock Albums and Alternative Albums chart.

Tradebot Systems is a registered broker-dealer and a member of most major stock exchanges. Based in Kansas City, the company has 60 associates and was founded in 1999.

Featured Ensemble Member Tradebot Systems Tradebot Systems CFO Jennifer Tomlinson said that joining Ensemble, the Kauffman Center’s business membership program, aligned readily with several of the company’s core interests. “We believe strongly in entrepreneurship and admire the Kauffman family. Becoming part of the Kauffman Center through Ensemble was natural for our company,” Tomlinson said.

Tradebot was founded in 1999 and often accounts for 3% to 5% of stock trading in America. Tomlinson said that, as a Kansas City-based company, Tradebot is especially proud that the community has such a world-class venue as the Kauffman Center. She is also aware that many of their 60 associates are performing arts supporters. “Our Ensemble benefits allow us to choose from an amazing range of performances as a way to reward associates and entertain colleagues,” says Tomlinson.

Discounted hospitality options are Ensemble benefits that Tradebot immediately put to good use in 2016. The company’s annual holiday party is held at a different venue each year, leading to a glamorous event in Brandmeyer Great Hall on December 2nd. Since the company picks locations that are iconic and classic Tomlinson said, “The Kauffman Center certainly fits that bill and provided our team with a memorable evening in an inspiring setting.”

Chuck Campbell and Tina Youngblood (second and fourth from the left) enjoyed meeting the members of Pink Martini after their Kauffman Center debut.

Featured Spotlight Premier Members Chuck Campbell and Tina Youngblood

An Easter church service held in Helzberg Hall introduced Tina Youngblood and Chuck Campbell to the Kauffman Center in 2013. “The incredible space and its acoustics were a revelation, and we wanted to get more involved,” Tina said. They called Janet Mark, senior development director, to take a tour and learn more. Soon they joined Spotlight Premier, a group of donors who make significant annual commitments to support programs and operations at the Kauffman Center.

The couple describes their charitable giving with elegant simplicity: church, education and the arts, with a downtown focus. While they neither live nor work downtown right now, both are strong advocates for efforts to revitalize the urban core.

After the introductory Easter service, the couple joined the Church of the Resurrection Downtown and got involved in helping the church to build a new home at 16th and Grand. They also joined in the church’s partnership with Wendell Phillips Elementary. “It’s an urban school with all the usual challenges,” said Tina, “but it’s high-performing and doing some really innovative things to help kids thrive.”

Chuck, now a real estate developer, said that his first job out of college gives him another interesting link with the Kauffman Center. “I joined Marion Laboratories in 1986 and got to meet Mr. K a couple of times. My love and respect for what he has done for our city is immense.” Tina, whose job as CEO of the insurance company Spencer Re brought her to KC, grew up in Nashville, surrounded by great music options. “It is so great to have to have artists wanting to come here--to Kansas City, to the Kauffman Center. Having such a treasure in a vibrant downtown means a lot to us.”
