Upcoming: Red Bull Thre3style @ the Old Rock House, 6/10

Besides providing a great background for a story about DJ culture in St. Louis and the opportunity to rep STL on an international level (*wink, wink*), the St. Louis Red Bull Thre3style qualifier is going to be a kick-ass night of entertainment.  You’ll see eight of St. Louis’ hottest DJs battling each other for party rock supremacy, get a set by nationally renowned DJ Spider, and you might even get a Red Bull dumped on your head.  Well, scratch that last one – but, come out and support our DJs and help the judges choose who will represent St. Louis in the national championship this fall!

OK Go @ the Old Rock House, 4/18/2010

When you are touring with dynamite acts like garage revivalists The Booze and psychedelic glam rockers Earl Greyhound opening for you, you had better be prepared to kick some ass when you take the stage as headliner.  OK Go is hip to this and arrived at the Old Rock House armed with confetti cannons, hand bells, their own light show, and enough party-starting rock to hold their own on a fantastic triple bill.  On a packed stage in a packed house, all three bands came, saw and conquered.

Weekend Show Forecast: 4/14

Silent Soundclash w/ Motion Potion, Undertow, Scotty Mac, Spankalicoius, and Mohawk vs. Heezy

Saturday, Apr 16th
Where: 2720 Cherokee
When: 9:00 PM

To an outside observer, Silent Soundclash must look strange – but that’s the point.  The idea of a “silent disco” – where everyone on the dancefloor is rocking out to the DJs music beamed through provided wireless headphones – is something so advanced that we are only beginning to harness its power.  Roll to 2720 Cherokee Friday night to become part of an experience that may become standard by the time the Fifth Element becomes reality.

September 1, 2009, David Bazan released his, not just critically, but controversially acclaimed album Curse Your Branches: the aptly nicknamed “breakup with God” album. I had a short phone chat with King David about the record and what it meant to him. (more…)

Q+A: Asobi Seksu

Choosing to shed guitar atmospherics and rerecord select songs acoustically, Asobi Seksu is definitely mixing things up.  Be sure to catch them on their Rewolf acoustic tour at the Old Rock House this Thursday, February 4th.  Eleven had the chance to speak with vocalist and keyboardist Yuki Chikudate about recording in the world-famous Olympic Studios and what “shoegaze” really means.
