The BonnaroOregon Trail: Day 3

The BonnaroOregon Trail: Day Three

We’ve by now reached a point of no return in our adventures through the Manchesterian wasteland. With another 24 hours of binging, sweating, starving, and rocking under our collective belt of the festival’s crowd, the scene at Bonnaroo now begins to more closely resemble that of dystopian, post-apocalyptic Fallout: New Vegas than the Oregon Trail.

The BonnaroOregon Trail: Day 2

It seems we caught a lucky stroke (as opposed to Bonnaroo’s ever-looming heat stroke) as we groggily rise on Day Two of the BonnaroOregon trail: Not only did we manage to properly arrange our tent after last night’s stumble home, but fortuitously anchored it to the West of our car (er, wagon). In doing so, we’re able to stave off Manchester, Tennessee’s brutal 7:00am sunlight alarm clock with some well placed shade. (more…)

Red Bull Thre3style @ The Old Rock House, 6/9/11

Playing to a packed house, the eight Red Bull Thre3sytle competitors threw down as many dance floor jams as they could fit into fifteen minutes (DJ Kue, above). DJ Deception took the crown (followed by DJ Who and DJ Uptown), and will be repping the Lou in the national championships this fall in Vegas. Road trip, anyone?

The BonnaroOregon Trail: Day 1

The BonnaroOregon Trail: Day One

“You guys should cover Bonnaroo this year like it’s the Oregon Trail.” It’s a few days before zero hour for the festival, and Eleven fan and compatriot, Peter, has raised a good point. Bonnaroo is a weekend tour through all of the same trials, tests, and dreams faced by the American California-hopefuls of yesteryear. We’ll stave off blistering heat without cover, and battle sickness and dehydration. We’ll manage limited supplies, and frequently be forced to decide between foraging, bartering, and starving (if only for a few hours). There will be Natives, and they will be wild. Though I suppose instead of hunting for food, we’ll be shooting bands and on the pursuit for live music (and we’ll score each band’s set accordingly).

This analogy seems close enough for us. We’ll run with it until it becomes even more infuriating to write than it invariably will be to read.

Red Bull Thre3style is Back

If you missed last year’s Red Bull Thre3style competition at the Old Rock House, you’ll have a second chance to experience eight of St. Louis’ best DJs fight to win the “party rock” crown: DJ Who, DJ Deception, DJ D-Mega, DJ Needles, DJ A-Flex, DJ Kue, DJ Uptown, and DJ Lonnie Bee. The rules are simple: fifteen minute sets, live mixing, and at least three genres. The rest is in each contestant’s hands (or timecode vinyl and Serato, to be more specific). And the stakes are high: the winner get’s to rep St. Louis at the national championships, and possibly the entire USA in the final, world event in Vancouver. (more…)
