The 10 Best Concerts in St. Louis This Weekend: November 7 to 9

Saturday, November 8

Bear Hands w/ Fences November 8 Off Broadway 8 p.m. | $15 Post-punk played by former NYHC scene punks, who have opened for GZA of the Wu-Tang Clan. This band has "legit" written all over it, and the tunes ain't so bad either. (DH)

New Music Circle presents: Eli Keszler w/ Rashad Becker November 8 The Luminary 7:30 p.m. | $10-$20 What drummer Eli Keszler is able to achieve as a solo artist exceeds the breadth of many full ensembles. Berlin native Rashad Becker will open the evening with a performance using samples and distinctive aural manipulations. (JH)

Ty Dolla $ign w/ Lil Bibby, Joe Moses, A-Game, MARKOE November 8 The Ready Room 8 p.m. | $20.50-$23 Ty Dolla $ign has been on the come-up since 2010, when he wrote and produced the YG song "Toot It and Boot It." Since then, Ty (who is sometimes just as much of a crooner as a rapper) has become pretty well-versed in the mixtape game, dropping seven tapes from 2011 to 2014 before finally releasing his debut EP Beach House this past January.

Yowie w/ Sand, Omoo Omoo November 8 The Heavy Anchor 9 p.m. | $5 By using two guitars and an embellished drumset, Yowie crafts contemporary classical music through atonal sounds. Rather than focus on traditional forms of melody-making, Yowie packs in more parts per song than most bands write for an entire album. (JH)

Sunday, November 9

Dirty Loops November 9 The Ready Room 8 p.m. | $20-$75 Pop-rock/jazz fusion all the way from Sweden! Catchy, too. Make 'em feel welcome here in the good ol' U.S. of A. (DH)
