The KK WADE Show

KK WADE Returns with another episode of "Behind The Mic," but this one is different. This was mostly recorded directly after KK's final karaoke at The Smiling Moose. This was originally going to be part of a deluxe edition goodbye episode to The Smiling Moose, but... shit happened, and the project was cancelled. But with the return of the "Behind The Mic" series, KK saw the perfect opportunity to...

When KK WADE makes the decision to go out for his birthday this year, he decides to go to a bar that he's been going to for karaoke since 2013/2014, Jekyl & Hyde in Pittsburgh's South Side neighborhood. Only one thing, though... ...its a karaoke contest night. After avoiding contests over the past 11 years like a branch covidian trying to avoid coughs during the pandemic, KK says "fuck it" and...

In this 2nd episode of the "Behind The Mic" revival, KK Wade does a recap of the previous episode before diving into a weekend spent in Washington D.C. for a Hilary Duff concert. But the night before the concert, KK decided to help himself to some local karaoke at Solly's. While the KJ was great and the crowd was cool for the most part, there were surrounding factors that dampened the night, such...

A long awaited Saturday night at Star Lake Pavilion (Burgettstown, PA) for a Rob Zombie/Marilyn Manson concert almost totally went to shit due to a cocksucker who was DEFINITELY on steroids and his dipshit, queef of a wife. KK WADE talks about the incident at hand... and how lucky the 2 motherfuckers were that he was in a good mood that day. Things could've gotten really shitty... REALLY fast.

A karaoke night usually involves some singers, some alcohol, a KJ and a bar. But on this special night, February 28, 2025, your rock n roll nigga decided to involve 3 bars: The Smiling Moose, Remedy, and the Blue Moon (and even tried to bring some KJ energy 😂).  You gotta understand, this wasn't just any ordinary night.  This was the last night of Black History Month '25.  That alone meant that e...

Talking portion of this episode was recorded on 8/19/26. BEHIND THE MIC RETURNS TO KK WADE ON DEMAND!!!

But unfortunately, what started as a usual great night of karaoke at Ruggers, took a hard left turn when out of nowhere, a WEDDING happens at the Pub. T...

And rounding it up is KK WADE performing the aforementioned Patti Smith song for the first t...

The heavy metal community, as well as the entire world, was dealt a blow like no other when Ozzy Osbourne passed away on July 22, 2025, only a few weeks after a very special "Back To The Beginning" Black Sabbath and solo Ozzy tribute concert. I'm not gonna lie to you, its been weeks after the passing of Ozzy and I've heard and read so many tributes from people talking about everything from memorie...

All good things must come to an end. The Pittsburgh Karaoke was shocked at the beginning of May 2025, when it was announced that The Smiling Moose (South Side) would be shutting its doors forever by the end of the month. The Karaoke Home of KK WADE. Where it all began... The Smiling Moose was going to be going away forever. But despite some setbacks (that'll be discussed later on), there was no fu...

There was no way that KK WADE was going to just slide into 2025 like some horny dude into the DMs of some overrated OnlyFans whore and not get some more Karaoke Time in. Fuck no! In the last 2 weeks of 2024, KK WADE went to 4 karaoke shows and got a whopping 30 songs in. Out of all of those, 17 of my absolute favorites were chosen to be in this episode of The KKWS for all of you niggas to enjoy. T...

5 days after the end of The Eras Tour just so happened to be Taylor Swift's 35th birthday! Any bar owner worth their salt was going to try to find a good way to capitalize on this day. While I'm sure that there were plenty of events going on across the city, I decided to go to a trusted bar that I'd been to before, Stinky's Bar and Grill! I'm not a fake nigga, so I'll keep it real: not exactly my...

A little more than 2 weeks after the special Swiftie karaoke event at the Hard Rock Cafe, on December 14, 2023, Dormont's Apple Inn also had a Swiftie-themed karaoke event of their own.

Songs Performed: Taylor Swift - Bad Blood Taylor Swift - Ready...

Having seen many bands at the Hard Rock Cafe in Pittsburgh, KK had always wondered how long it'd be before THE KK WADE SHOW would grace their stage. Well, on November 28 2023, the waiting had finally come to an end... and in the form of a special "Eras Tour" karaoke event.  KK WADE, with the 10 years of karaoke experience he had, along with 8 years of being a Swiftie under his belt, you know he wa...

Being only a month away from his Taylor Swift concert in Stockholm, KK WADE wanted to experience as much Taylor Swift and Swiftie culture as he could as his excitement was at an all-time high.

And so KK WADE showed up, rocked the ho...

On Friday, May 17, 2024, the night before KK Wade went to see The Eras Tour and after the night that he sang at a Swiftie Karaoke event, KK decided to check out a non-themed karaoke event to see how the Scandinavians truly roll when it comes to karaoke. He chose a place called Den Gröne Jägaren (The Green Hunter). KK Wade was mostly impressed with what he saw and heard that night... although, ther...

I dont know about you, but Im feeling twen... I'm just kidding. But Im tired of going to karaoke and only hearing "hit songs." Thats almost what concerts are for.
