Gin Blossoms Ozzie Smith Sports Complex |
Fri., July 4, 8:30pm |
O'Fallon |
|
When Gin Blossoms broke up in 1997, it seemed like a strange decision for a band that had just released two modestly successful albums and earned two Billboard top ten singles (Til I Hear it From You and Follow You Down). But the underlying turmoil of alcohol addiction... More >>

The Western Front Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center |
Sat., July 5, 8:00pm |
St. Louis - Soulard/Benton Park |
|
The Western Front makes sharp 90-degree turns in its song arrangements, jumping from genre to genre without warning, like the flipping of a light switch. Joseph Campbell Recommendation commences with a jangly electric guitar riff full of twangy bends alongside a feverishly strummed... More >>

|
The Mae Shi The Bluebird |
Sun., July 6, 8:30pm |
St. Louis - Midtown |
|
With buzz-saw guitars borrowed from Thunderbirds are Now! and the keyboard-fueled, candy-coated madness last heard on the Unicorns first record, the Mae Shi gives twisted pop a spasmodic kick to the pants. The L.A. sextet is affiliated with the über-hip arts and music space the Smell... More >>

Delmar/The Loop |

With their tenth studio album, GNV FLA, set for release this month on their own newly established label, Sleep It Off Records, Gainesville ska-punk veterans Less Than Jake aren't showing any signs of slowing down.

Samantha Crain Cicero's |
Tue., July 8, 9:00pm |
Delmar/The Loop |
|
Call it necessity or imagination, but folksinger Samantha Crain has ensconced herself in a thoroughly do-it-yourself approach to music ever since she dropped out of college to travel in cramped vehicles to gigs that didnt pay much. There was no real plan as to how things would work... More >>

Glow CD Release Lucas School House |
Thu., July 10, 8:00pm |
St. Louis - Soulard/Benton Park |
|
Like their 80s male/female synth-pop duo forebears Yaz and Everything but the Girl, keyboardist/programmer Brian Beracha and vocalist Brooke Edwards of Glow meld the austerity of electronic music with the warmth of the human voice. Most of these eleven tracks are open-ended and amorphous,... More >>

Shame Club The Bluebird |
Fri., July 11, 8:30pm |
St. Louis - Midtown |
|
An apt exhortation to fans and detractors alike, Shame Club's Come On honors classic rock heroes without resorting to musty dinosaur gestures. Guitars scream like bottle rockets or twist lazily like a kite mimicking Led Zeppelin and Motörhead as much as Sly and the Family Stone or... More >>

|
Jon Hardy and the Public Off Broadway |
Fri., July 11, 9:00pm |
St. Louis - South Grand |
|
For a skinny white dude, Jon Hardy sure packs a lot of soul into his performances with the Public. The songs from last year s Working in Love drip with emotion and conviction, and Hardy channels his passion directly into his microphone. The band plays a mish-mash of Americana-influenced... More >>

The Dials Way Out Club |
Sat., July 12, 10:00pm |
St. Louis - Soulard/Benton Park |
|
The Dials have a history of creating hooked out, grooving pop tunes. The Chicago quartets debut full length, 2005s Flex Time, was a pop revelation. However, the band members' combined talent was never as apparent as it is on the new album, Amoeba Amore. Amore takes the bands... More >>

Gladys Knight and Al Green Fox Theatre |
Sun., July 13, 7:30pm |
St. Louis - Grand Center |
|
Veteran artists receiving career makeovers at the hands of hotshot producers isnt exactly a new trend (see: Johnny Cash/Rick Rubin and Loretta Lynn/Jack White), but something feels right about Al Greens latest resurgence. The soul legend and (ordained reverend) recorded Lay It Down... More >>
