1. Tour De Grove and ArtCrank
-Where: the Grove (between Tower Grove Ave. and S. Sarah St. on Manchester Ave.)
-When: Saturday, All Day/Night
-How Much: FREE
-Why: Beyond the excitement of watching cyclists compete for some serious cash, Tour De Grove is a definitive neighborhood event that incorporates art, music, and brings the St. Louis community together to enjoy the last fleeting moments of spring. Activities begin on Thursday, May 13 (the opening of the ArtCrank poster show at Atomic Cowboy, for instance), but the main event – the NRC women’s and men’s races – starts at 3:40 PM on Saturday. However, with so many bars and venues right alongside the race course, you better believe the party will continue long after the cyclists cross the finish line.

Playing a good portion of tracks from their just released Raven in the Grave , The Raveonettes radiated through their dark persona and fuzzed-out, noise-laden take on 60s garage .

Traveling all the way from Syracuse, New York, Ra Ra Riot returned to grace the Firebird’s stage. Performing for an insanely packed house, the band’s energetic set was crafted primarily around their 2010 release, The Orchard. Frontman Wes Miles rocked a vintage STL t-shirt, and the band thanked the adoring audience for their support in the form of a three song encore. (more…)
