I Am DJing at The Royale Tonight

…Or you can come out and drink some beers to the sweet sounds of my excllent taste in music at The Royale tonight when I DJ. The Royale is on Kingshighway, just south of Arsenal. I go on around 10.

Jumbling Towers & Lapush

If you missed Jumbling Towers with Be Your Own Pet last night, you can head to Lucas School House to see them tonight, when they play with another local band, Lapush. If you haven’t seen Jumbling Towers yet, you definitely should. They sound different from nearly every other band in town.

MP3:
Jumbling Towers – He’s A Cop Now

Be Your Own Pet & Jumbling Towers

Head to Off Broadway tonight to see Be Your Own Pet and Jumbling Towers. Check out the songs below and head out to Off Broadway after stuffing your face with ribs at Ribfest and rocking out to Blue Oyster Cult, Molly Hachet and Jackyl.

Be Your Own Pet – “Bicycle, Bicycle, You Are My Bicycle”:

The Fucking Champs

If you are a fan of keyboards, 9-string guitars or prog-sounding guitar solos, you’d better head out to the Duck Room on Sunday night to catch The Fucking Champs.

MP3s:
The Fucking Champs – Some Swords
The Fucking Champs – Guns In Our Schools

The Daybreak Boys

St. Louis’ The Daybreak Boys are celebrating the release of their debut EP, The Bowery, tonight at The Duck Room with Dozemarypool and John Boy’s Courage. The Daybreak Boys play jangly indie pop with a strong thread of moody 80’s indie rock that was quite the rage earlier this decade with bands like the Kaiser Chiefs and Hot Hot Heat.

MP3:
The Daybreak Boys – Baby, You’re Darling

Captured! By Robots

In case you’re not in the dancing mood and don’t plan on heading up to the Duck Room to see !!!, you should head out to Off Broadway TONIGHT, to see Captured! By Robots and St. Louis’ own Riddle of Steel. That’s a solid lineup, and if I wasn’t going to see the greatness that is !!! live, I would definitely be at Off Broadway. This will be the first C!BR show in St. Louis I’ve missed in five years.

MP3:
Captured! By Robots – Ethiopia

Tonight – Wydown

St. Louis’ Wydown is playing their last show tonight, at Blueberry Hill’s Duck Room with Troubadour Dali and the Skidmore Foundation. Sorry for the late notice and short post, but I’m walking out the door…
