KMBR Montana's Best Rock

Is it the country/nü-metal hybrid we never knew we needed?

One can only imagine what it was truly like for these homesteaders. From the Irish to the Italians, many descendents have been researched along the way. Well, now a group of archeologists hope to bring to light new findings of African-American homesteading in Butte during a Brown Bag Lunch Series, presented by the Butte Archives, Wednesday, August 24th at noon.

The Dumas Brothel, once the longest running brothel in America, now sits empty and alone. Some say it is extremely haunted. What did we find?

Once again, the streets of Uptown Butte will be hopping with music and festival-goers.  This time, the An Ri Ra Irish Festival makes it's return to town after a 2-year Covid-related hiatus and Butte is more than ready.  Over the past week, crews have been busy preparing and assembling the Original Mineyard's stage area and commons for music, dance and displays, while city crews have been busy deco

Thanks to this particular program the future is literally looking brighter. This calls for some serious shades! On Saturday (August 13th), The Montana Clean Energy Fair will be up and running to educate the community about renewable energy. The event which runs 9:30 am to 3:30 pm is absolutely free to the public, and will be held at the National Center for Appropriate Technology in Butte.

Decades in the making, Rockin' The Rivers is set to rock Big Sky Country, August 11th through the 13th outside Cardwell, Montana. Like most everything in the world pandemic related, the 3-day event took a hiatus for a short period of time.

The times they are a changin' and so are some very historic places in Butte, America. In the mining city, you can still invest in a piece of Butte History. According to the Butte Realty Group, open concept condos are coming to life in the Historic O'Rourke Annex building in Uptown Butte. The structure originally built in 1900, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Do you love to treat yourself? Whether it be a trip to the salon, a spa, or your favorite clothing store, taking care of yourself is satisfying and well deserved, no doubt. However, if it's something that starts to negatively affect your bank account, that's another story...and that's when your eyes are bigger than your bank account.

When you hear these songs, it's impossible not to think of the corresponding TV show or movie.

Ah, the Butte pasty.  Well, if we're being honest, it's not really ours.  Pasties are English, from Cornwall, England to be exact, but like a lot of things in Butte, true ownership sometimes is claimed by the whole town.  It's pronounced "PASS-tee", as anyone Uptown will tell you, although I had a roommate in college from Billings who insisted on calling it a "PASTE-tee".  Even

One influencer argued the band's 'problematic' past.

As Benjamin Franklin once said, "Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today". Pretty good advice from a Founding Father and a kite flying, bad *ss inventor. Of course, the thing humans most commonly "put off" are CHORES. It's true! Procrastinating chores is inevitable, but there are also some extracurricular activities that we don't allow ourselves to enjoy in the moment, either. No time like the present to get out there and enjoy yourself and in between, finish those particular tasks/chores around the house, and maybe some involving your vehicle.
