December 15 - 21st

Tuesday, December 15th
at Kismet Creative Center - $5
The CCB crew has shown to have a strong connection with the artists coming out of Denton, Texas and Riftworm may be the group out of there I am most excited about. Ambient post-rockers Riftworm have a mend of drone, shoegaze and doom. Crank that reverb! This show will be the last show for STL noise act BICYCLEtricycle so come squirm with them one last time. Also I hear there is a special mystery performance to start the show? 


Velvet Curtain
 Dave Stone & Kevin Harris
at CBGB - $5
Non-stop trance inducing power is what you can expect from Minneapolis group Gnawed.  Frantic power electronic Velvet Curtain is the harsher of the two, but is not harsh for harsh's sake. There are no wasted motions. Minneapolis has one the strongest noise scenes in the country and these two acts are good examples of it.
OkENDO
at Foam
Four very different folk acts are coming together on a Tuesday. Wandering Lake is the psych folk project of Brian Kupillas. Bringing more experimental influences into traditional acoustic folk music makes for something of note.  Wished Bone is lo-fi indie twee folk from Athens, Ohio. Heavy 60's country and folk can be heard from this project. 


Thursday, December 17th
Drag
at Foam - $7
Albany, New York-based punks Scuzz bring it and they bring it fast. You might want to wear a helmet. These riffs are dangerous.

at Kismet Creative Center
Baritone-singing, acoustic guitar slinging, simplistic one-man folk act Real Live Tigers from Austin, Texas comes to strum his strings for you.
Friday, December 18th
Shrink Ray
Cave Lizard
at Livery - $5
I'm telling you, Springfield, Missouri is a real weird, gross place. Take filthy punk rock band Gigantic for example. No stranger to the slop and the plop, riff-machines Gigantic are back with another Springfield band made up of gross human beings, Cum Bats.

Beauty Pageant
at Foam - FREE
In my opinion, Acid Kat and Freezerburn make the best zines in town. Whenever the two groups come together, you know it's going to be a blast. Cheap zines and a bevy of experimental artists from St. Louis just in time for the holidays.


Saturday, December 19th
OkENDO
at Foam
Indiana-based experimental indie rockers Spandrels dabble in drone, post rock, shoegaze and have a flair for the melodramatic. In what sounds like the angsty, pissed off younger brother of Trauma Harness, Spandrels takes poignant twists and turns through their music at the drop of a hat.

Wow Wow Gold
John Beabout
at Kismet Creative Center - $5
The Inheritance are some cold wave goth freaks some a small town called Chicago. Minimalistic, chill and industrial are also words to describe this band. They are good. Turn off the lights in your room and listen to them on repeat until your inevitable death.
