Julie Doiron and a Buttload More Shows! posted by Charlie Turner 2009 Jun 21st, a Sunday 
This Friday, JULIE DOIRON (of Mt. Erie) is returing to Lemp! Come see her solo performance, alonside other acts CJ Boyd and Humdrum! And I even promise that some mystery surprise acts will be on this show, too! Who will it be? You'll find out as the week progresses. Probably.But that's not the only thing happening this week, oh no! On monday the 22nd, we've got the loudest band in Iowa, FOLLOWED BY GHOSTS, with POLAR OPPOSITE BEAR, and Lemp debuts for Lucid in Obscurity and Color Blind! On Tuesday the 23rd, it's Br'er's friends PINEAPPLE EXPLODE doing shoegazy depressing-y pretty things, alongside Curtis Tinsley (You, Crubling/ Mellified Man/ Sleep State) and Day Care (Formerly Tyronne and/or Mellowhale). I don't have words for how good this show will be. You'll just have to see it to believe it! Wednesday is a wacko noisy night. It's SAINT ANTHONY's nifty acoustic/electric drone jams, accompanied by THE KICKER KNOT. No, it's not Animal Collective. Isn't that great? JEFF LANDGRAF and some other guy are playing, too. And that's DEFINITELY not Animal Collective. And it goes on--Thursday is HOUSE OF NORMANDIE and STANDBY RED 5, two completely different bands on completely different tours, and not indie-sounding enough to be indie rock. But I think that's a good thing. But who am I to decide? Come see them and judge for yourself! You'll probably see one of the only sets ever in St. Louis by PRAEY. And then it's JULIE DOIRON on friday, but you already know about that. Then the week comes to a close with a band that used to be called Ribbonpigeon, but is now called THE ONLY SONS. Also playing are Springfield's best folk-punk group NEW MADRID, and local rich and famous and wonderful singer-songwriter, CAMERON MATTHEWS. Maybe not rich and famous, but he's definitely worth seeing! And so's everything else this week! You don't have to spend your paycheck on all these shows, just FIVE DOLLARS EACH! See you soon! |
GOLDEN SHOULDERS posted by Charlie Turner 2009 May 20th, a Wednesday  You saw them with Alina Simone, so come see them again! GOLDEN SHOULDERS at Lemp Arts, Friday May 22! |
PETER BRÖTZMANN - ALEUCHATISTAS - UPSILON ACRUX - YOWIE posted by Jesse Windels 2009 May 14th, a Thursday  You'll probably never forgive yourself for not coming to this one - years down the road, when you're homeless and jobless. Make sure this doesn't happen. [Details] |
D.F.D. posted by Charlie Turner 2009 Apr 12th, a Sunday  DANIEL FRANCIS DOYLE. The one-man band to end them all. Friday, April 17th. All Ages. Five Dollars. So good, it's retarded. |
VOLUNTARY MOTHER EARTH and PTERODACTYL! posted by Charlie Turner 2009 Mar 23rd, a Monday  TOMORROW NIGHT! Zappa-esque rock weirdness from Tokyo, Japan--VOLUNTARY MOTHER EARTH!! Come to give them a tomato and forgive their penises! They're joined by NYC's most psyched-out prog rock band, PTERODACTYL! You remember their tasty jams from last year with Parts & Labor! They'll be joined by local psychadelic faves Royal Roy: A Prince of a Boy (crazy 16-bit projections!) and Dinofight!(groovy songs with better graphics than Sega CD!)! Tomorrow, March 24th at Lemp--All Ages, Five Dollars! |
