Three and a half bells (Jive)
Today
When rock bands swarmed Earth 40 years ago, they seemed otherworldly — hirsute tribes clad in kaleidoscopic garb, brandishing their guitars like medieval weapons. But over time, these mongrel hordes and their misshapen songs assimilated into American culture so seamlessly, they practically vanished into the normalcy of popular music. Today, our guitar heroes reside mostly in video games.

Catching a band between albums can be a good thing — for both hard-core and casual fans. When Maroon 5 performs Sunday at Charles Koch Arena, the pop-rock band will preview a few cuts from its forthcoming but as yet untitled album, which will drop in early 2010. The band will also render the hits.
Wichita
The Wichita Symphony delivered a wonderful array of musical selections Sunday easily likened to the courses of a gourmet meal. The orchestra was led in this concert by guest conductor Daniel Hege, who will become its new director next season.
On a cold night in early October, hundreds of people crowded into Rock Island Live to witness a milestone in a Wichita artist's career.
