Show Me the Garage Rock!
Continued from page 1
Published on October 10, 2007
Ah, if only space permitted an examination of the merits of the super-poppy 75s, the nihilistic Nevermores, the adorable Vultures, the muddy Left Arm or the curl-shooting Von Hodads. Sometimes it seems like being in Missouri is the worst thing about St. Louis, but the Show-Me Blowout is an embarrassment of homegrown riches. Chances are there won't be another garage-rock spectacular like this in St. Louis in our lifetimes. (Unless, of course, Jeff Kopp decides to do it again next year...) 8 p.m., Friday, October 12, with The Cripplers, Pink Socks, the Rich Boys, the Modern Primitives and Left Arm; and 8 p.m., Saturday, October 13, with The Geargrinders, Thee Fine Lines, the Von Hodads, Monte Carlos, the Nevermores. Off Broadway, 3509 Lemp Avenue. $10 each night or $15 for both nights. 21+ up only. 314-773-3363. Also, the Vultures, the 75s, the Vickroids and the Mad Titans play an afternoon barbecue at 1 p.m., Saturday, October 13. Apop Records, 2831 Cherokee Street. Free. All ages. 314-664-6575.
