STL Concert Announcement: Dinosaur Jr
30, Jun 2009Dinosaur Jr will be hitting just about every city in America on their fall tour, including a stop at the Pageant on October 14. Farm, their second reunion album (out now via Jagjaguwar) starts right where 2007’s surprisingly good Beyond left off. If their live show is half as good as their latest video for “Over It”, then I’m all [...]
Andrew Bird will be teaming up with St. Vincent starting September 29 for a month of shows throughout the U.S. They’ll be bypassing St. Louis, but you can catch them in Columbia, MO at the Blue Note on September 30. For the rest of the dates, take a jump.

New Releases V6.30
30, Jun 2009It’s a typically slow summer release day, but Wilco (The Album) overshadows everything else anyway. I think the seventh offering from Wilco is one of their strongest yet, piggy-backing off the simple beauty of Sky Blue Sky the guys turned it up a notch and made a bare-bones true-to-form Wilco record. This week also finds Spoon sneaking in a small EP titled [...]

MP3/Video: Dawes – "When My Time Comes"
29, Jun 2009A friend of mine introduced me to Dawes with a video of the guys playing “When My Time Comes” from this year’s SXSW. I think I watched the video a total of 20 times that day, it’s simply an electric performance from a band with a ton of soul. North Hills the debut LP from Dawes is set to be [...]
