Lord Huron’s stop at St. Louis’ Chaifetz Arena was a show that felt less like a standard concert and more like a play on Broadway. The band has always leaned into theatrics, but this performance pushed their storytelling instincts even further, using blocking and props onstage to create a true narrative to go with the […]
I remember the first time I had ever heard a Sir Chloe song… It was 2020 and, like most people during the pandemic, I was cooped up inside scrolling through TikTok videos late into the night. I paused when I heard Dana Foote’s voice, aka Sir Chloe — a stage name adopted in 2017. It […]
Motherfolk is a band that holds a weird place in my heart. Prior to 2022, I had never heard of them. A magazine I was shooting for at the time asked me if I’d be willing to shoot their show at The Duck Room in St. Louis and take some portraits for an interview they […]
I requested to cover the sold-out They Might Be Giants show, because I recognized their name from a free sample song that came with my family’s Dell computer that ran Windows 2000. Before I even had my first iPod, I would listen to those songs when I would get bored of what I had on […]
I can’t think of a better way to start the week than to see a Japanese Breakfast concert at The Pageant. Rather than begin another dreadful Monday the same ‘ol boring way, I had this show to look forward… making me wonder why I don’t go to more concerts on weekdays! Opening for Japanese Breakfast […]
My final concert at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater this summer turned out to be one of the best shows of the season. It was a hot night, featuring an unexpectedly cohesive lineup of Apocalyptica, Lindsey Stirling, and Halestorm. Starting first was the Finnish cello metal group, Apocalyptica, who set a bizarrely powerful tone for the […]
If you’re looking for something romantic for date night, here’s my suggestion — buy tickets to a Lucy Dacus show. Trust me on this one. If you enjoy listening to the indie band boygenius, then you most likely know that Lucy Dacus is the third member of the trio, alongside Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker. […]
The night of Pantera in St. Louis started off with Aussie grindcore sensations King Parrot. Named after the similarly Australian bird, King Parrot were a colorful bunch. They opened the night with an aggressive, screaming, hair-flipping set that left the already sweaty crowd drenched by the end of it. Lead vocalist Matt Young — shirtless […]
One of my last concerts for the month of August felt exactly how those dwindling last few weeks of summer feel: reflective, moody, and nostalgic, with a little chill in the air. That’s how it felt seeing Goo Goo Dolls headline with Dashboard Confessional on the 21st. Both bands had a significant impact on the […]
St. Louis has been having one hell of a summer with the amount of bands coming through, especially all of our returning favorites from the last few decades! Mid-August, this midwest town was granted another epic show, this time the nostalgic punk-pop days of the 90s and naughts with a visit from The Offspring while […]
If you’ve been keeping up with the shows I have been covering this summer, you know that we have had a string of insanely hot outdoor shows here in St. Louis lately. It’s been a grind shooting shows in 95+ degree heat. I like to think of it as training for the impending heat death […]
I found myself at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre for yet another night of excellent jams and a seat of summer swamp ass. What made this night different from others as of late was not only the longest concert line I had ever seen going into the venue, but also the songs and the musicians who […]
I can’t think of a better way to start the month of August than seeing a Rainbow Kitten Surprise show. The first of August fell on a Friday — a perfect night to begin the weekend with live music outside. Saint Louis Music Park was bustling with people under the soft orange sun, some with […]
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 […]
