August 2nd - August 8th

at Foam - $5-$7
Oh one those classic "stacked bills" that is becoming more and more common in St. Louis. It's nice to see a 5 band bill where all 5 bands are worth checking out. Royal Brat is a gang of queer punks from MPLS that like to bounce around and bring the ruckus. Kitten Forever, also from MPLS, is a whiny and chaotic punk trio. Jefferson St. Parade Band from Bloomington is responsible for one of the silliest nights of my life when they played here a few months ago. It's a fucking marching band with West African influences.

Raunchy punks from Little Rock playing fast riffs, hitting hard and jamming to the fullest. Jangly riffs with a mean punch, reverbed-to-hell vocals that are disorienting. If these guys are your boyfriends, you should absolutely break up with for being too rock 'n' roll.


Way Out Weirdo Wednesday #11
Regicide Bureau
Kenshiro's
Larva Lu
Jessiher
Tom Hill
at Way Out Club - FREE
You know the drill by now. As always, I am stoked on the lineup put together for WOWW 11. I remember grabbing free Regicide Bureau CDs from APOP and thinking they were pretty rad. Never seen the infamous Thomas Sutter live, however. Should be a blast.

Friday, August 5th
NYC's Spanish-speaking freak punks La Misma roll into town with more energy than one can fathom. Pryss is a newer punk band from the outskirts of life, Springfield, Illinois. Fast and feminist, both of these out-of-towners are on the hunt to crack some skulls.

Andy is Not A Human
Andy Human & the Reptoids
Shitstorm

at Foam - $5
Oakland's Andy Human and his buddies in The Reptoids produce some firey West Coast mutant rock. A little psychedelic, a little punk, Human and friends have a diverse and distorted sound all their own that is worth digging into.

Amber Kogut (CCDS)
Cameron Rogers (CCDS)
Mady Patty

Sunday, August 7th
A Dilapidated Boat
Dugout Canoe
Solid Waste

Jake Leech

at Kismet - $5
My good friend Jake Leech has been telling me about the minimalistic synth style of Dugout Canoe for months now. Out of Denver, Dugout Canoe keeps it simple while using heavy experimentation and is open for interpretation.
