Concerts Under The Radar

It's the dog days of summer. Not much new going on out there, so I hope you forgive me, dear readers, for not checking in as often as I'd like. But these tidbits were good enough to post, and seem to be escaping STL. If one were to look west to the fair college town of Columbia, one would notice some very interesting concerts at the Blue Note:

Andrew Bird with St. Vincent on Wednesday, September 30.
And the Decemberists with Laura Veirs on Wednesday, October 7.

True, both mid-week shows. But also shows that are more than likely NOT coming to STL anytime soon, as they have already stopped by. So get on your horse and ride.

Here's the full tour schedule of the Decemberists recently announced leg. And yes, they are still playing The Hazards Of Love in it's entirety for these shows:
9/20: Flynn Theater, Burlington, VT
9/21: Wellmont Theater, Montclair, NJ

Of Montreal Touring, Don't Get The Memo, Decide to Skip STL. But Coming To Columbia!

Dear Of Montreal, your friends in Flight of the Conchords had the good sense to come to St Louis in '09. You, however, are doing the "select dates" tour. Thanks for at least getting close, coming to Columbia, Mo at the Blue Note, on April 24. Based on my limited intel about colleges, it looks like you are hitting a few college towns. Good for you, they like them... different there. And that you are. Oh, and you're coming to SXSW? Well, maybe I'll see you there.
