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?

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…)

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.
