Bathed in what was easily the most beautiful concert lighting I’ve encountered in a long time, a mildly scruffy Pete Yorn delivered an earnest, rocking performance at The Pageant last night.

The Mardi Gras celebration in Soulard and Dropkick Murphys at the Pageant all in one night made for plenty of great factors for a rowdy night. The lights cut out as Dropkick Murphys took the stage while “The Boys are Back in Town” by Thin Lizzy played in the background. Their beloved Irish punk sound and the sold-out capacity made for an awesome, energetic fist pumping Saturday night. (more…)

How much noise can one man and a laptop make? As it turns out, enough to get a sold-out Pageant crowd moving, shaking, and begging for more. Gregg Gillis (aka Girl Talk) brought his hyperactive mash-up show to St. Louis, and St. Louis brought the rest of the party – metallic leggings included. (more…)
