Good week for St. Louisans who like rock; bad week for folks who like sleep
Monday, September 29, 2008
I know it’s such a drag to go to shows on weekdays, but the amount of shows coming through St. Louis this week is plain ridiculous. Admit it, you’re already planning to get by this week on power naps and shots of 5 Hour Energy poured discretely in your coffee mug. If not, here’s the itinerary for the ridiculosity that’s about to ensue this week:
Monday
Fleetwood Mac’s Lindsey Buckingham - the genius behind “Never Going Back Again,” “The Ledge,” “Holiday Road,” and countless others - is playing at the Pageant. I heard they were giving away free tickets to this show at last week’s Neko Case concert, which is kind of sad. It’s almost enough to make me wish I went to Neko’s concert. Almost.
The Bluebird has pulled together an impressive bill consisting of Dead Confederates, Catfish Haven, Lovelikefire, and hometown heroes Jon Hardy & The Public. I don’t know why, but nobody seems to be talking about this even though it should be a pretty cool show.
Tuesday
My old hometown favorites the Heartless Bastards are playing with the exuberant folk troubador Langhorne Slim from Brooklyn at the Duck Room. I’m not too familiar with Slim’s discography, but regular Post-Rockist contributor Fancy Dan put this little number on a mix for me a while back and I whole-heartedly echo its sentiments:
Langhorne Slim - “I Love To Dance”
Lots more after the jump… (Continued)
