LouFest 2013 Guesses (So Far)

by Julian on April 26, 2013
LouFest released a blank lineup earlier today, with one letter filled in (U, which is interesting, because it didn’t give away any of the bigger names), making for one of the better games of Scrabble I’ve ever played. I’ve made my best educated guesses, so here’s what I have my money on: I’m pretty certain [...]

by Derek on April 16, 2013
After 9/11, one of my favorite music journalists, Chuck Klosterman, wrote an essay about Radiohead’s Kid A, which had come out the year before.  Klosterman wrote that the album, which has since been named Spin’s album of the decade, perfectly reflects the horrible events that occurred that day, starting with the normalcy in the morning, [...]

The Morning Teleporation Play Inimate Show at The Firebird

by Derek on April 13, 2013
It is always a little jarring to see a club totally empty.  The bar tender starts playing with their cell phone, the bands who are preparing to play walk aimlessly around, trying to decide whether to hold out for more people to show up or to just close their eyes and pretend it is a [...]

Hey Marseilles (with Young Buffalo) Bring Their Sweet Sound to St. Louis

by Brian on April 7, 2013

I’m a sucker for indie pop bands with cellos, violas, trumpets or really any other atypical instrument, and Hey Marseilles have them all. The rich assortment of instrumentation, paired with frontman Matt Bishop’s charming but husky voice, [...]

The Joy Formidable, Kitten and Guards Rock Pop’s Nightclub

by Derek on April 3, 2013
