This week St. Louis sees a stop from the legendary NYC experimental rock act Swans, who will bring an apocalyptic cacophony of hypnotically delivered nihilism and complex soundscapes to Delmar Hall on Friday. Elsewhere, Atlanta's Mariah the Scientist comes through to the Pageant on Tuesday, fresh off last week's arrest in which she is accused of attacking a woman at a nightclub. (Gonna need that show money for lawyer fees, lest she end up joining her boyfriend Young Thug in the clink.) Meanwhile, Yonder Mountain String Band is set for a two-night stand at Off Broadway on Friday and Saturday, TikTok sensation Thomas Day tops a free pre-game block party at Citypark, while Boston's Fleshwater hits the Duck Room on Wednesday to gaze at some shoes. All this and a Star Wars-themed metal band (that would be Galactic Empire, playing Off Broadway Saturday with Bit Brigade) in our picks for this week's best shows!
