It was another busy (and scorchingly hot) night at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater. The final Saturday of July was celebrated with a total of five performances, with the headliner being the very anticipated, quirky, and colorful AJR. The crowd was coming in steady as the first performers completed their sets. Madilyn Mei was the opener, […]
One of the beautiful things about music is how easily it attaches to memory. Ask anyone and they will tell you a song that takes them back to somewhere else, some other time. It’s a lovely aspect of music although, sometimes, this can be quite painful. I have a lot of songs like that… songs […]
The week was off to a great start for The Pageant on Monday night, with a packed venue for Jack’s Mannequin — the show having entirely sold-out. There was a buzzing of excitement as people gathered outside to get in line and make their way to the front of the stage. The evening’s opener was […]
My first show back at Hollywood Casino Amphitheater was one for the books. Storm clouds loomed over the venue as I approached, darkening the sky while I searched for the staff parking lot and made my way to the box office. As I walked, I said a prayer to whichever god controls the weather that […]
My Morning Jacket recently wrapped up the first half of their Is Tour. We caught up with them at the second-to-last stop at The Pageant in St. Louis to see what the Louisville band was up to. The last time I saw My Morning Jacket was on the backend of a three-hour set that they […]
St. Louis was overflowing with an emo, rock, pop punk mishmash of sound this past Monday night at The Pageant. Mayday Parade came to St. Louis with a sold-out show for their Three Cheers for 20 Years Tour, having just began a week prior. With them, they brought the talents of Like Roses, Grayscale, and Microwave: […]
Let me take a moment to paint you a picture with my words. Whether you have been to an EDM show or not, I want you to join me as we walk into the St. Louis venue Mississippi Underground to see SVDDEN DEATH. It was a Friday night and the evening was jam packed with […]
Can you remember the first song you ever listened to of a band? We all have one… that one song that opened the musical doors in your mind. Something about it clicks with you; you can’t explain it. For whatever reason, it just feels right. The first time I heard Bright Eyes, I was 16 […]
Suki Waterhouse recently graced The Factory in St. Louis with a performance that left the audience starry-eyed. Taking the stage alongside a band known as Bully, the night was full of feminine power and catchy bops. Bully, a rock band formed primarily by singer and guitarist Alicia Bognanno, started the night out with a very […]
Rod Wave recently crashed the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, with a star-studded lineup of hip hop and R&B artists. The show lasted well into the night, with six different performers taking the stage throughout the course of the concert. It seems like no coincidence that the last person to play this stadium was Jelly […]
Election night 2024. Tensions were running high across the United States. Kamala vs. Trump butted heads over who will control the future of our country. You could feel everyone’s stress hanging in the air everywhere you went in the city — except one place. Politics don’t exist once you set foot inside The Pageant. The […]
Country music sensation Jelly Roll recently brought his latest tour to the Enterprise Center in St. Louis in spectacular fashion. Just days prior, Jelly Roll’s Beautifully Broken album earned the title of number one album in the country. This album, and the similarly named tour, have been hot topics of discussion in the music world […]
It was another packed house at Delmar Hall in St. Louis and Philadelphia indie rock band Mannequin Pussy were the ones responsible for the sold-out show this night. They were accompanied by the Mexico-based rock group Margaritas Podridas. Both bands played to a roaring crowd of 750 enthusiastic fans, all crammed into the small venue. […]
Khruangbin, a musical trio from Houston, Texas, put St. Louis into a trance when they took the stage at The Factory, supported by Pakistani-American artist Arooj Aftab and her band. Both acts delivered slow-building sets, with songs that started off low-key, minimal on lyrics, and gradually lulled the audience into a meditative state as they […]
I recently made the cross-Missouri trek from St. Louis to the Starlight Theatre in Kansas City in order to see one of my favorite bands that I discovered in 2024 — Rainbow Kitten Surprise. Yes, I know, I am very behind the 8-ball when it comes to RKS… almost a decade behind for a band […]
