I had heard of Wildbirds and Peacedrums before watching their Take Away Show, but I knew absolutely nothing about them.  After watching the husband-and-wife duo from Sweden perform inside of a boxing ring with nothing more than drums and vocals I was hooked. 
I have to say I was skeptical at first.  After all having only a drummer and [...]

 

 
I’ve been seeing the name Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. pop up a lot lately.  They were featured on NPR’s All Songs Considered and they recently recorded a session with Daytrotter.  That being said it took me quite a while to get around to listening to the actual music.  Sometimes I find myself overwhelmed by the [...]

 
I mentioned yesterday in my LouFest Video Roundup post for Saturday that Broken Social Scene stole the show that day and probably the whole festival.  That being said the other performance that sticks in my head as I’m typing has to be Jeff Tweedy’s solo set.  The crowd was definitely bigger on Sunday as a whole and once Tweedy took the [...]

 
 
I’m still sorting through my thoughts about the first ever LouFest.  It was an incredible music experience for the city of Saint Louis and it has left me feeling like my best friend just left town.  I still can’t get over the fact that I was able to hop on my bike and watch many [...]

 
No that’s not a typo Deer Tick is coming to Off Broadway on October 31 (Halloween!).  I can’t even begin to imagine the mayhem that will go on at this show, but I for one wouldn’t miss it for anything.  I’m sure the costumes will be out in full force, both on stage and in the [...]

 
The first day of LouFest was nothing short of a smashing success.  I still can’t get over the simple fact that I biked 5 minutes from my house to my local park (Forest Park) and saw Broken Social Scene, Built To Spill, The Airborne Toxic Event, Lucero, Titus Andronicus, Adam Reichmann, So Many Dynamos, stephaniesid, [...]

 
Happy LouFest day!  It’s Saturday, August 28 and that means Forest Park is ready for its inaugural music festival.  After checking out the grounds last night and looking at the weather report today (it’s going to be quite nice) I am as giddy as could be.  Make sure to check yesterday’s preview post for today’s [...]

 
 
Hopefully you’ve been enjoying the LouFest-heavy content on the blog the last couple of weeks, because there’s only going to be more.  The powers that be at LouFest have been nice enough to give me a press pass for the festival and I will be all over Forest Park covering the festivities this weekend. 
I’ve said it [...]

 
Tomorrow’s the big day.  LouFest kicks off Saturday at noon and continues on through Sunday at Forest Park in St. Louis (gates open at 11am both days).  In an effort to keep the excitement level high and get through this final day of the week I’ve put together a little video preview for each band [...]

MP3/Video: Deer Tick

If you witnessed the Deer Tick show at Off Broadway earlier this month you know what an amazing band they are (or if you have read this blog for any length of time).  Deer Tick just released their upcoming tour dates and while Saint Louis isn’t listed they did pass along a great video of John [...]
