Concert Calendar: 8/31 – 9/6

31, Aug 2009

 
Here’s the list of shows for the week (by no means comprehensive).  Let me know what shows you’ll be attending and if you think something is missing from the list.  I’m looking forward to the first Under Cover Weekend dates at the Firebird this Friday and Saturday – and don’t forget to head on down to the landing this [...]

So Many Dynamos – Say Goodbye/Hello

27, Aug 2009

 
So Many Dynamos have had a big year so far.  Chris Walla of Death Cab fame produced The Loud Wars (out now),  their first album with Vagrant Records, they received a harsh review from Pitchfork, and they marched through the U.S. in support of the new disc.  Through it all there’s been some tension and it seems that tension has caused a fracture [...]

Black Joe Lewis & the Honey Bears – "Sugarfoot"

26, Aug 2009

 
I’ve been dragging this week so I’ve been listening to Tell ‘Em What Your Name Is, the debut album (out now via Lost Highway) from Black Joe Lewis & the Honey Bears, to get my energy level up.  Joe Lewis can wail with the best of them and it’s no surprise that he lists James Brown as [...]

STL Concert Announcement: Son Volt

25, Aug 2009

 
American Central Dust, the new Son Volt album (out now) is their most accessible album to date and showcases Jay Farrar’s character-driven songwriting – I highly recommend checking it out.  Out of the ashes of Uncle Tupelo have come two incredible bands, both of which will be making stops in St. Louis this fall.  Wilco will be making their way [...]

It's Always Sunny: Season 5 Promos

25, Aug 2009

 
So far the Dayman and Kittens Mittens Season 5 promos for Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia have had me rolling on the floor.  After seeing the promos below I can’t wait until September 7, I’ll be busting a gut every Thursday night.  Enjoy:

Where The Wild Things Are: Music by Karen O and "The Kids"

24, Aug 2009

 
If the trailer (see below) for Spike Jone’s Where The Wild Things Are doesn’t grab you maybe the soundtrack will.  Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs) is composing the soundtrack along with her team, dubbed “The Kids”.  “The Kids” features fellow YYY’s Brian Chase and Nick Zinner, Bradford Cox (Deerhunter/Atlas Sound), Tristan Bechet (Services), Dean Fertita (Queens [...]

24, Aug 2009

 
Here’s the list of shows for the week (by no means comprehensive).  Let me know what shows you’ll be attending and if you think something is missing from the list.  As you can tell there is a lack of big names coming to the Lou this week, but I recommend checking out Ha Ha Tonka (pictured above) this [...]
