Urochromes
Big Bleach
Ruz
Q
at Bonerville - $7
Western Massachusetts' nastiest group, Urochromes, is heading to Casa de Boner. They are a rag-tag punk group led by a man in a white turtleneck that you may have seen outside of your window. They are joined by Mississippi's finest Big Bleach. Quirky and quick, Big Bleach is a definite party favorite.

Lone Star Post Punk
New Berlin
Boreal Hills
Drag
Zak M.
at Foam - $5
New Berlin is a post-punk band from McAllen, Texas. A distorted sound that is lead by the bass and everything else follows suit. Hypnotically repetitive melodies and an apathetic vocalist make for a memorable experience.

Weirdos being weirdos, man. A show full of St. Louis' best weirdos doing the Lord's work. I heard a rumor that The Corrigan Brothers are releasing their album at this show. Sounds good to me.

Deep South Psych Rock
\\GT//
Yonsei
Staghorn
Breath Fire
at Foam - $5
\\GT// are a psych punk band hailing from Birmingham, Alabama. The howls of a mad-man with a distorted wall of grunge riffs and a pounding rhythm section. The perfect blend of psychedelia of the 1960s and grunge of the 1990s, minus the ugly clothes.
