Vats
Sunday Candy
Janet

Vats is a super scintillating post-punk sensation from Seattle. Heavy on the fuzz over the thick bass lines, Vats brings a raw punch into their doom and gloom post punk sound. Highly recommend if you enjoy having nightmares.

Woah this is a lot. Thanks to the Durham kids and that Lumpy guy, we got ourselves a mini-fest of some sorts. Pinkwash, you remember them, punishing noise punks from Philly. 0% and The Monoliths, two punk groups from fucking Denmark. Plus three locals This is only 7 doll hairs. Jesus.

If you missed these two bands the last time they were in town, this is your chance to redeem yourself for the mistakes you have made. Tunic is a heavy noise punk trio from Winnipeg. You remember them from blowing the roof off at the Hardbody/Skin Tags release show. Constant Insult was just here last month, but they are back and are real fun rock 'n' roll.

No Aloha
at Foam - $7
Denton, Texas is home to some of the coolest punks on the planet and The Noids are just a few of those punks. Take-no-prisoners punk rock that forces the hair on the back of your neck to stand in attention. Bottomfeeders are some serious slingshot rock 'n' rollers from New Orleans. Psych riffs for days, you love it. This is my birthday; buy me an apple soda.

Yao Ming
at Blank Space
With all of the events occurring in last few days centered around police violence, brutality and the murder or innocent black men, this show seems even more significant. A stacked lineup come together to continue to show support and raise funds for those imprisoned from the Ferguson uprising.

Folk punk still lives in Garner, Iowa. Giving Up isn't giving up on this genre that had a solid 3 year run in the late 2000s. Come hang in the cleanest house venue in St. Louis. The Nest is the best.

Chalked Up

Each and every month, the Weirdo series keeps growing and growing. This month features Deacon Bill, thrash punks from Brooklyn join a lineup of some of my favorite experimental acts in St. Louis. If I don't see your face at this show, I will forever judge you.

Mangina

I can't tell you a whole lot about this show because of the sheer absurdity of it all. What I can tell you, there will be puppets, there will be feline impersonators and it will be very out of the ordinary. Have fun and good luck.

Friday, July 8th
Cohete
Lars
at Bolozone
Get your weekend started with heavy slammage. A couple young Chicago punks rolling through a place near you. They've got jams so hard, you are going to bleed from your belly button.



at Kismet - $5
I have quite the soft spot for black metal. When it's good, I'm all in. And boy, is Ethicist really good. Crusty, lo-fi American black metal from Cincinnati, Ohio. Ethicist adds elements of shoegaze and post-metal to their blackened stylings. Joining them is Kentucky's Cryptic Hymn, a blackened death metal outfit that you shouldn't sleep on. Also Stagorn vs. Laika, battle sets. Good luck, Jack.


Saturday, July 9th
The Christmas Bride
at Foam - $5
Three bands full of real rockers from all over who will come to Foam to show off their real rockin' tunes. Brother Gruesome is a grunge band from OKC that has some slick stoner riffs. Pudge is a rad punk band from New Orleans. Christmas Bride is a lame pop band from Chicago that uses homophobic slurs in their songs. Show up to the gig and tell them they fucking suck.

at The Heavy Anchor - $7
Four of the best experimental acts in St. Louis come together at The Heavy Anchor for a real good time. All of these groups are phenomenal, but I highly recommend Key Grip for anyone unfamiliar.

Warm Bodies
Livin' Thing
Trauma Harness (synth set)
Q
Posture
at Bonerville - $7
Seriously, what the fuck? This has to be one of the best lineups assembled in recent memory. It feels like a mini fest will be happening at Bonerville. There is just so much. Warm Bodies, Kansas City punks that are simple on fire right now paired with Mountain Dew and Oreo-fueled Springfield punk rockers Livin' Thing. Also Trauma Harness playing an all synth set. This is too good to be true.

Just Me and My Dad
Lechuguillas
The Conformists
Black Panties
Mike Herr
at CBGB
Austin, Texas noise rock cowboys are back in the saddle again. Their music is out of this world. Listening to Lechuguillas has me fearing for my safety because it sounds like the music is going to come out of the speakers and punch me directly in the face. This show will be worth however much Luc asks for at the door.

The best fest in St. Louis. This is a benefit show for a future mega weekend of everything you could ever ask for. But that's in August.

Post-Coffee
Staghorn
Alaska
Rhone
Mariner
Bike Path
at Sump Coffee - FREE, later at The Bottom Bunk - $5
A double shot of espresso and a double shot of Staghorn please. A glorious double-event where you can attend a listening party for Staghorn's new album, enjoy coffee and then see great bands like Alaska from Las Vegas and Rhone from Chicago. So much happening and it should be tasty.


Rocky Mountain High
Swells
The Dorms
Blight Future
Sunwyrm
at Kismet
I always see Chelsi Webster wearing that cool Swells t-shirt and if Chelsi likes your band, your music is probably really sick. Post-hardcore masters, Swells is definitely a little left of center in the post-hardcore genre, embracing portions of doom and post-rock that is absolutely refreshing.

Hardbody
at Kismet - $5
Once a week on this little blog, we talk about a sick band from Minneapolis coming to town and how rad their scene is. Well, we're doing it again. Weakwick is a two-piece noise punk/garage rock thing. Sounds a lot like your mother's disapproval. Take that how you will.

Philly power trio Backslider makes their way through our wonderful city. A nice mix of punk, noise rock and even a little thrash makes an aggressive tone that is relentless in it's delivery. If you have been missing a little rage in your life, this is the show to get some. 


Thursday, June 9th
at Foam
OKC is the hottest spot for punk and hardcore. So many new and old bands coming out of there to be excited about. Life as One is one of those bands to be especially excited for. Straight up old school hardcore. Get wise, show up.

Friday, June 10th
My Bloody Underwear

Three hard-ripping punks from Texas are playing the infamous Bolozone. This show is absolutely stacked with talent and to quote Nick G. "if you missed them last time, ur fucking dumb because it ruled." This will be a nice night to slam. Get down, get dumb.

"When a show has 2 flyers you know it's going to be special"
Waveless
Swear Beam
Veil
at CBGB - $7
Minneapolis just keeps churning out phenomenal bands. This time around, we are talking about Waveless. Fuzzy post punk/shoegaze that is easy to get lost in. If this band was from St. Louis, people would try to have them on every show.



 Monday, June 13th
Open the Flood Gates
Fucked Up Fuckin System
Porno Glows
at Rootwad Park - $5
It wouldn't be summer time without a generator show on the river banks, now would it? We got another OKC band coming through, so you know it's going to be a wild one. Fucked Up Fuckin System is a slimy d-beat mess featuring members of American Hate. Ask someone in a leather jacket for directions. Make sure they have sick patches, though. If not, it might just be your uncle. Carpool for minimum shit.
