We gave you fair warning about this Kansas City band’s sinister and bizarre music, but you braved the Replay over the weekend anyway. The Fog unleashed hell at the venue for their official Lawrence release of Darkness USA.

The Fog is definitely a band that should return to the area, if you’re looking for a wild ride.
