Tuesday, March 8th
Lumpy & the Dumpers
Rüz
Mala Leche
at CBGB - $5
Oh the sweet, sweet sound of Rik & the Pigs. Portland's rowdiest punks bring their catchy-as-all-hell groovin' tunes through and play on a with a who's who of St. Louis punks. This show is seriously packed.


Wednesday, March 9th
It's Gettin' Heavy Ova Here
Bell Witch
Wrekmeister Harmonies
Fister
Staghorn
at The Firebird - $10
Bell Witch is a doom metal duo that is truly unique. A band only comprised of bass and drums makes for a dark and haunting listen. With a hint of atmospheric black metal, Bell Witch can switch from melodic and disturbing to powerful and punishing.

Chi-town Fun-for-All
Relevant Hairstyles
The Funs
Hoonbag Moonswag
at Foam - $5
In case you have forgotten, The Funs are one of the best bands going right now and has been for quite some time. This power duo is non-stop force that cannot be contained. Do yourself a favor and indulge in every bit of music these two have created.

Pre-Fest Mess
Slav
Wrung
Veil
at Bonerville - $7
Everything Is Not O.K. is a punk fest happening in Oklahoma City from March 10th-13th. If you are like me, you are unable to attend this year. However, you can catch three band playing the fest at a friendly South City basement near you.


Thursday, March 10th
NYC Ghost-Poppers
Super FM
Apex Shrine
Persh
The Bobby Dazzlers
at Foam - $5
Super FM is a fun loving psych rock/pop punk/garage rock/music trio from New York. Catchy riffs and bouncy tunes for the entire family. Or maybe not. I won't tell you how to raise your kids.



An Experimental Experience
Dave Stone + Drew Gowran
Centipede

A match made in heaven as local saxophonist Dave Stone and local percussionist Drew Gowran team up once again for their unique blend in the experimental scene.


Saturday, March 12th
Big Sound from a Small State
Gymshorts
Demonlover
Shitstorm
at CBGB - $7
A band that is always welcomed back to St. Louis is surf punk outfit Gymshorts. Coming out of an exciting scene in Rhode Island, Gymshorts never disappoints when they come through town. A truly can't-miss show every time they play.


Sunday, March 13th
Independent Detroit Music
Growwing Pains
Gush
Dracla
Maximum Effort
at Foam -$5-$7
Quick, quirky and catchy pop tunes is what you can expect from Detroit's Growwing Pains. An upbeat indie rock group with lyrics full of self-deprecation and frustration. Really exciting stuff coming from these Motor City folks.

Monday, March 14th
Put some MENTHOL in your LEMONADE
Menthol
Lemonade
Voight-Kampff
at Bonerville
Menthol is a psychedelic hardcore/punk from Greensboro, North Carolina. A strange yet fitting combination of sounds makes Menthol a very interesting band. You don't know whether to throw down in the pit or swing dance with your partner. Lemonade is a new band from Minnesota that features members from Uranium Club and Chuckleheads, so you know they are going to rule.
