Where: Off Broadway
When: Doors at 8:30, Show at 9

Theodore’s sound is straight out of another time – full of country roads, dusty phonographs, and just enough pedal steel to make you really feel it. The Saint Louis-based band will bring their unique folk/bluegrass sound to Off Broadway this Friday evening.  Stop in for a listen and maybe you’ll catch a song off of their upcoming album, slated for release in February 2010, or possibly their killer cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Chelsea Hotel.”

Rock N Roll Craft Show

Where: The Firebird
When: 3:00 – 6:00pm

The Rock N Roll Craft Show has been out to bring Saint Louis the freshest handmade crafts together with some of the area’s finest music since 2005, and this year is no exception.  The festival takes place Friday through Sunday, with musical acts at The Firebird and hundreds of vendors at the Third Degree Glass Factory.  Saturday evening brings Sleepy Kitty, Beth Bombara, Robb Steele, and Via Dove to The Firebird, but check out The Rock N Roll Craft Show website for a complete list of events…

We All Have Hooks For Hands

Where: The Firebird
When: Doors 8:30, Show 9:00

We All Have Hooks For Hands, in addition to having one of the best visual band names ever, are the Beach Boys’ demented children.  Okay not really, but that’s how a fan described their sound, and it’s actually pretty apropos.  The surf-y guitars and penchant for harmony are there, but roughed up around the edges by their deconstructed, definitely modern sound.  They’re at The Firebird on Sunday with Saint Louis’ own Target Market, and Tarlton, out of Minneapolis.

St. Louis music scene staples Say Panther have announced the release date of their long-awaited (and long-overdue) album, As We Grow: November 24th.  In addition to releasing the album (which was, in the best St. Louis fashion, recorded with So Many Dynamos alum Ryan Wasoba), the group will play As We Grow it its entirety on the 24th at The Chapel.  Local indie stars Target Market will be opening, so you have no reason to miss the show.  Here’s a track from the upcoming album:

Say Panther – Not Alone Enough

More details after the jump.

Unfortunately, this will be the last show for Say Panther for quite some time.  Lead singer/guitarist James Bishop will be departing St. Louis on indefinite sabbatical sometime this month, and the band will be going on hiatus.  While this constitutes a great loss for the St. Louis music community, the members of Say Panther still in St. Louis will continue to make music in various other bands and projects.

For more details on the show, there’s a facebook event here.  See you there!
