Lousy Smarch Weather

Everyone here at the Eleven Office is still buzzing from the Yacht show at Plush last night, but now is no time hide from the hail, there is lots more going on this weekend.

The hard-rocking duo, Bass Drum Of Death brings their high energy show to St. Louis this week.  Sure, the obvious comparison is to the Black Keys or The White Stripes, right?  But Eleven would never go for the obvious comparison would it?  Would it?

The Old Rock House 8pm $10 with Up The Academy and Tone Rodent & The Airliners

As if Yacht wasn’t enough, Blind Pilot continues the stream of Portland bands flowing through Plush, though, they couldn’t sound any more different from the techno, dance, pop, harmonic sounds of Yacht.   The folksy, rootsy sound is right in St. Louis’ wheelhouse.  There is no reason that St. Louis shouldn’t be a huge base of fans for these guys and no reason for you to miss the show!   It’s just too bad there isn’t local support on the bill, as we at Eleven can think of a number of St. Louis bands that would be perfect for the task.

Plush 8pm $13-$15 with Cataldo

The Blind Eyes are celebrating the 3rd birthday of their debut album, Modernity at Off-Broadway. Not only is the show guarentee to rock your socks off, the first 100 people who walk through the door will win themselves a free download card for the album, so you will never forget the experience every time you fire the album up on your iPod.   AND not only that, but if you are the first 100 people through the door, you get the added bonus of seeing two more of St. Louis’ best bands, Union Tree Review and Volcanoes!  It doesn’t get any better than this folks.

Off Broadway, 8pm, $8 with Union Tree Review and Volcanoes.

Black Lips w/ Blind Eyes and Box Elders @ The Firebird, 4/7/10

The unhinged, debauched shows put on by Atlanta’s resident flower-punks – now the stuff of contemporary rock ‘n’ roll lore – are, by all accounts, not for the faint of heart. To the relief of Black Lips’ diehard STL fans, their show at the Firebird this week was certainly no exception. (more…)
