Friday (May 10):

DMX @ The Coliseum Music Lounge 8 p.m. | $25-$75 DMX brings his signature gruff style to "Party Up" at the Coliseum. I only ask because I just did so, but have you ever actually looked at DMX's legal history before? Holy shit dude; you need to ratchet it down a few notches. (DH)

Ferry Corsten @ Europe Nightclub w/ Rob Lemon 9 p.m. | $15-$30 Dutch producer Ferry Corsten travels all the way to Europe Nightclub -- check out our interview with the internationally-renowned DJ here. (DH)

King Britt @ The Demo 10 p.m. | $10-$15 King Britt (real name: King Britt) returns to St. Louis, performing a DJ set this time at the Demo. (DH)

Natural Child w/ Bird Cloud, Dad. Jr, Sleepy and the Bedtimes @ The Firebird 8:30 p.m. | $10 Natural Child is known as a party band, but that's not to say the music isn't good - after years of constant touring and working the 24/7 hustle that is SXSW, the Nashville band is primed for a breakthrough.

Scoundrel w/ Boreal Hills, Ghost Dance, Durango @ The Heavy Anchor 9 p.m. | $5 Feel good punk from Chicago and garage rock from Springfield convene at this south city dive for an evening of dance-worthy sets. (MS)
