Beat Happenings

The Royale wises up: St. Louis hipsterati are always seen pounding Maker's Mark and dragging on Camels at south city's beloved stomping ground, the Royale (3132 South Kingshighway; 314-772-3600). But while it has long boasted Depeche-loving DJs, the establishment has recently come to realize what's been missing from its cool-kids agenda — live musicians! And in true Royale fashion, doing something new means doing it right: They've booked a free performance by indie rocker Wisely on Friday, May 19, at 7 p.m. Hipster nirvana!
