This week brings a pair of new EPs from top-notch St. Louis acts Freddy VS. and Tidal Volume as they team up for a dual release show on Saturday at Off Broadway, with Chicago's Rebecca Jaffe kicking things off. Elsewhere, the inaugural Midwest Diskrust Fest brings together a bevy of hard-hitting d-beat bands from across the country for a full Saturday of fast, filthy fun at the Sinkhole; rapper and producer Mvstermind tops the lineup of St. Louis artists set to greet Saturday's marathon runners at the finish line for an afternoon after-party; and Michigan's Greta Van Fleet brings its progressive blues-rock stylings to Chaifetz Arena on Saturday evening.

"But are there any days of the week other than Saturday?" you may find yourself asking. The answer is yes, and those days even have shows, too: Friday will see Brittany Howard (of Alabama Shakes fame) bringing her powerful voice and fearsome songwriting chops to the Pageant, Sunday sees the Golden Record playing host to a Boiler Room-style DJ event hosted by Run the Jewels DJ and St. Louis native Trackstar and featuring a performance by the great Skratch Bastid, and guitar legends Joe Satriani and Steve Vai bring their Satch/Vai tour to the Factory on Tuesday. All this and San Francisco's premier perv pop band (that would be Big Gorgeous) in our picks for this week's best shows!
