This weekend sees new releases from the Maness Brothers as well as Paces Lift and Ben Bounce. Besides these record-release parties, see the Blind Eyes one last time during Off Broadway's SXSCity weekend, get some shopping in at Plush's rummage sale of rock and check out a variety of other shows happening over the next few days. The forecast is a favorable one. Get out and enjoy it.
Friday (March 14):
Greensky Bluegrass w/ Wood & Wire @ Old Rock House 9 p.m. | $15/$18 The band's name tells you everything you need to know here. GB seems to have taken a shine to St. Louis; stops in town have been frequent in recent years. (DH)
Lifeless w/ Not 'Til Death, Dogfight, A Death and A Promise, Ally Ooop, Danny Greene @ Fubar 8 p.m. | $10 Notable is the inclusion of A Death and A Promise on this bill, one of St. Louis' best and longest-running hardcore acts. ADAAP doesn't play out as much nowadays, so don't miss it. (DH)
Paces Lift and Ben Bounce Vinyl Release w/ DJ Who, DJ MAKossa @ Blank Space 9 p.m. | free The sticker on the cover of the LP provides the most apt description: "A Brooding and funky, beat-driven, sample-based, lo-fi instrumental spaghetti Western adventure piece." Check it out for yourself. (DH)
Pearl & the Beard w/ Mt. Thelonius @ Old Rock House 9 p.m. | $10-$12 For fans of three-part vocal harmonies and skilled, varied instrumentation. Also, horn-rimmed glasses. (DH)
The Rummage Sale of Rock w/ Tok, Superfun Yeah Yeah Rocketship, Kenshiro's, The Man in Brown @ Plush 9 p.m. | $5 One-half rock show and one-half rummage sale, this fun-for-all event features a few great local acts as well as Conway Twitty records and Bon Jovi swag up for grabs. (MS)
