Stone Hen
Haiku
3 of 5
Zagk Gibbons
Joe Stein
at Way Out Club - FREE, 21+
The 6th installment of Way Out Weirdo may have the best line-up in the series so far. An eclectic blend on St. Louis experimental, every inch of your weirdo heart will be touched on this night.


Thursday, March 3rd
The Return of Mr. Clit
Mr. Clit & the Pink Cigarettes
Boreal Hills
Babe Lords
at Foam - $5
I saw this band last summer and they do not disappoint.  These circus side-show punks from Indianapolis bring carny energy to their music. Seeing Mr. Clit & The Pink Cigarettes is a lot like being at a real circus. You know a lot of what you're getting into isn't safe, but you love every minute of it.


This is NOT a Hardbody Show
Skin Tags
Hess/Cunningham Duo
Fragile Farm
at Schlalfy Tap Room - FREE
Six familiar faces that have played many shows together put on one unlike the rest. We all know and love Skin Tags and Hardbody and after releasing a split 7" together, these groups will be forever linked. But this isn't another Skin Tags/Hardbody show. Instead you will get the top-tier intense punk sound of Skin Tags but you will see another side of the Hard-boys. Hess/Cunningham Duo is the experimental free jazz/avante garde side project of 2/3rds of Hardbody while Fragile Farm is the freak folk solo project of the other 3rd of the math rock trio. I'm hard.


Friday, March 4th
LAB: The Brainstems
The Brainstems
Demonlover
Soda Boys
at The Luminary - $5
The LAB series at The Luminary is back to celebrate St. Louis garage rockers The Brainstems. A band that started as a Ty Segall cover band has blossomed into one of South Cities brightest acts. They will be playing two sets, one of all originals and a second of covers, to go back their roots as a band.

 Saturday, March 5th
HEAVY HORSE LAST SHOW
Heavy Horse
Laika
Path of Might
Mariner
at Dugan Haus - FREE
Come say goodbye to one of St. Louis' heaviest and punishing post-hardcore/doom metal acts Heavy Horse. I hear there will be plenty of beer to drown your sorrows. No one can see you cry if you head-bang hard enough.


Sunday, March 6th
Cincy Koot Kats
Bummers Eve
Lil' Toughies
Shitstorm
Soda Boys
at Foam - $6
Bummers Eve is a lo-fi garage punk from good ole Cincinnati, Ohio that goes heavy on the reverb that brings out the power in their sling-shot riffs. Lil' Toughies is a glitchy drum machine-powered synch punk group from the Kansas City. Would you expect anything less from the 913?

Two of the most iconic death metal bands of all-time, Cannibal Corpse and Obituary will be coming through St. Louis bringing their relentless and ground-breaking sounds.

at Foam - $5
The Roaring 420s are psychedelic rock band from Dresden, Germany that sounds like they were ripped right out of the 1960s. As the band's name implies, there is a feel of a certain substance that may or may not heighten a few things. 

Friday, February 26th
at The Demo $5-7
One of Complex's Musicians to Watch and leader of STL Hip-Hop collective MME, Mvstermind is definitely someone to pay attention to in 2016. He is headlining a show with some of the best up-and-coming St. Louis rappers that you need to be listening to.

Shitstorm and Little Big Bangs are two of the biggest bands in the St. Louis DIY scene. Everybody knows them, everybody loves them. And for good reason. They are playing a free show with CoMo's punk-rock hybrid Conductor.

Saturday, February 27th
at The Billiken Club - $5
Chicago's favorite garage rock duo White Mystery brings their flying red locks to The B Club. The White Stripes comparisons are obvious (I mean, their last name is also White. Come on!) but White Mystery is definitely their own band with their own sound and style.

Tuesday, February 16th
Givin' You the Shakes
Jitters
Jr. Clooney
Hardbody
at Foam - $5
Jitters is an experimental math duo comin' straight out of the swamp of Tampa. A wonderful combination of guitar noodling and incredibly speed and precision on drums. Bands like this make you question your own ability to do anything at all.

Pop Music for the Goofballs
Paper Ceilings
Willis
Witchy
Joe

Good ole fun time folk pop out of CoMo. The folk-y scene in Columbia is thriving right now and Paper Ceilings is one of the best examples of that. Definitely check it out and other acts coming from Mizzou-town.

Rockin' out of the Appalachia

Brenda
Cave Lizard

Weird Science is a psych punk mad pack out of Athen, Ohio that just sounds like sweat pouring off of a forehead. Brenda is a fierce garage power group from Louisville. I hear they have a thing for pizza.
