Tickets: Advanced tickets for sale at The Tivoli’s box office (5 – 10 PM M-F. 2 – 10 PM S-S.) You could also just show up and get ‘em!

St. Louis’s The Urge will be playing The Pageant tonight and November 25th. We implore you to check out this show before it gets sold out. The Urge are ska-core legends and are only reuniting for a finite amount of time. Recording sessions were promised (and one new song has been released), but our hawk in the sky says this could be a no-go. So, check them out while they are amped for action. Also, go back in time and check out Hugh Scott‘s September article on the band!
Times: Doors 7PM// Show 8PM
Tickets: $25 adv/ $27.50 dos
Opening Acts: Locals Brookroyal and The Gorge

She so darn cute! Look at that dang tiara! Oh, golly!
A little bird, not our night hawk we keep stationed at 11 Headquarters, told me “never sleep on VH1′. While this little bird might have been an acid flashback, she certainly had great advice when Ximena Sarinana‘s colorful music video for “Different“ popped up one Saturday morning. A voice so sweet, it mimes the peculiar lightness of honey dew, Sarinana packs both earnesty and fun into her lyrics for an all-around pleasent experience.
Times: 9 PM
Tickets: $10 – $12
Where: Blueberry Hill

Scotty recommends the quintessential sounds of a “70s blacksploitation soundtrack” this evening. Kings Go Forth are a Milwaukee-bred band of musicians who’s Harlem horns and funk bring the fun to a docile night in St. Louis.
Times: Doors 8:30 PM/ Show 9:00 PM
Tickets: $15
Where: The Firebird

Money for Guns‘s cigarette-stained vocals and woeful strumming is appeasing enough to quell a hangover and interesting enough to actively listen word-for-word.

Don't you just wanna PLAY WITH IT?!
Well, I love the Ninja Turtles. Okay, no…but really it’s my eternally six sister who loves cartoons and pizza eating reptiles. And while I’ll pause for some Samuri Champloo and Domino’s, it’s really just the men the Ninja Turtles are named after that I love. Speaking of those cats, I’d really like it if someone took me to go see the Leonardo DaVinci Machines Exhibit. It’s the first (and probably only) time these primitive versions of hang gliders (above), cars and bicycles will be in St. Louis.
Times: 10 AM – 6 PM daily
Tickets: $9 – $14
Where: 800 Market Street

Artwork from the album "Returning and Leaving".
I’ve officially began the Radiohead fandom part of my life’s journey. Kid A has secured its place in my Top 5 Albums and I stand by the fact that under its hypnosis, I can write a badass paper on Manifest Destiny. Lest I digress, it’s easy to see how my aural aesthetics may have changed course these past month’s. Already a fan of the experimental jams of Adult Fur, Eleven urges you to consider Ra Cailum. Their seriously beautiful ambiance is perfect for an afternoon slow dance. Thank goodness they’re in town today.
Times: 7:30 PM
Tickets: $7
Where: Cicero’s
Opening Acts: Corpse Pose, US English and Bloody Knives

Look at those lips! Eat your heart out, Mick!
You truly owe it to yourself to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show in all its cultish glory. The first cinematic midnight movie will be playing tonight at The Tivoli would be a good opportunity to experience a real Time Warp. Show, and I mean this literally, will start at 11:55 PM. Anticipate people dressing in drag, singing along, throwing rice, ect…in the name of Rocky Horror. You can thank me later.
Already been? Here’s a link to the movie on Hulu.

While we’re on the subject: Take a gander at his Pruitt-Igoe Bee Sanctuary proposal here.

Got a date? Good for you! There’s no better way to break the ice than to scare the shit out of him or her. Take that terribly unassuming vixen to The Lemp Brewery from 7:30 PM to 10 PM tonight and get ssskkkuuurrrreeeeeeddddd! This Haunted House costs $20 to enter, but the look on your date’s face when some (human not pussy) cat that looks like a leper jumps out from the shadows will be priceless.
//2//

We offer alternatives for your pansy ass. For $10 you can check out three great bands at The Firebird tonight. Ume, False Moves and Peach are in town. Doors at 8PM. Show at 8:45PM.

It’s Gondoween!
Sloup’s on at Fort Gondo! The 21st edition of Sloup will occur between the ghoulish hours of 6 and 8 on Halloween night. Vote for your favorite artist’s proposal and slurp down some yummy liquid dish for $10. Number one vote getters go home with the sum of all the voter’s money in their pockets to go towards their artists or communicative projects. It’s like charity…but cooler and with soup.
//2//
While you’re checking out what’s new in the arts community of Cherokee, look up Apop Records who are conjoining with Binge and Purge. This Saturday and Sunday they are having Grand Opening worth checking out. Promising free booze courtesy of Schlafly’s and free music from 2:00PM to 9:00PM both days. The opening also includes a storewide sale on all music goods and ridiculously cool vintage finds plus, I hear there’s supposed to be s’more weird shit.
Monday, October 31 — HALLOWEEN!

Rats&People? Sounds like a plan to me! Unless these rats reside in sewers and have the girth of a Pembroke Welsh Corgi…and these people are New Yorkers. Have no fear! For neither is the case! Rats&People are an orchestral emsemble that compose and perform scores to films of the Silent Era. Mmmhrmm! This time it’s Nosferatu! The show starts at 9PM and is located at The Heavy Anchor. And leave the minors at home and bring Lincoln with ya, ‘cuz it’s $5 and 21+.
So, go watch Thriller and get in the Halloween spirit!
Boogie down, people. And have a Happy and Safe Halloween!
