                                <description><![CDATA[The Conformists are an experimental rock band based in St. Louis, MO, formed in 1996. This show will serve as their 30-year anniversary, which is, frankly, ridiculous. &#160; "Listening to The Conformists is like stepping into another dimension where every second, every note is a surprise that sweeps away the one before it. It&#8217;s a chaos that organizes itself, breaks apart, and rebuilds itself only to be shaken up all over again. The musical ideas are relentless, remarkable, and ever-shifting &#8212; enough to make metronome needles spin out of control. Anything is possible, anything is achievable, and everything is a musical feat &#8212; from breaking the sound barrier to the slightest breath. The St. Louis-based band indeed crafts with disconcerting mastery a unique, virtuosic, and boundless universe that plays with the conventions of music. &#160; Barely recovered from Three Hundred &#8212; their bewildering and exhilarating previous album &#8212; None Hundred once again shakes us up and knocks us to the ground. With a relentless succession of minimalist and sublime passages, haunting and hypnotic repetitions, shifts in rhythmic direction, bass and guitar constantly teetering on the edge of dissonance, and a deep, intelligent voice whenever it appears, this new album is a blend of ceaseless, disorienting, and unexpected surprises, where each track is a feat of composition and production &#8212; an unparalleled and inventive work within the noise genre. &#160; Although None Hundred stands as the logical follow-up to its predecessor, it becomes clear from the very first notes of the opening track, &#8220;Jesus Was a Shitty Carpenter,&#8221; that The Conformists won&#8217;t need more than the six tracks on this true gem to once again unsettle and bewilder us. Throughout the album, we&#8217;re swept through a whole range of emotions that come and go in record time: we&#8217;re overjoyed, we can&#8217;t sit still, we find ourselves smiling, left speechless &#8212; whether listening to &#8220;Swim Home&#8221; and its skipping-record-like ending, the intense 7 minutes and 34 seconds of &#8220;Times Beach,&#8221; the rhythmic drive and dissonance of &#8220;Quality&#8221; and &#8220;Fire at the Horsephanage,&#8221; or the remarkable closing track &#8220;Pro Gear, Pro Attitude&#8221;, where the bass and guitar interplay hypnotizes us before the drums finish the job alone. So, for thirty minutes, we&#8217;ll have listened to the music in a different way, with the utmost attention. A record by The Conformists isn&#8217;t just listened to. It&#8217;s experienced." -Thierry Mabon, Mowno Magazine (France) &#160; Imelda Marcos is an avant noise rock band from Chicago whose sonic palette is pointillistic, percussive and rhythmic. NPR Music Viking's Choice described the band as, '... hypnotic, buzzy, technical, but oh-so-fun noise-rock. &#160; Radiator Greys is the long-running psychedelic noise music project of St. Louis-based artist Josh Levi. Since 2011, Levi has created a haunting assemblage of harsh noise, power ambient, and layered tape loops that borders on any number of expanding, experimental soundscapes.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[About the artist: How to honor the legacy of a band deemed sacred? To tread on holy ground is perilous, and must be done with the intent and spirit of a disciple&#8212;Pay attention to the intricacies of the magic, explore the far ends of the innovation, strive for ever-growing ability, and let the purity of the love for the music drive it all. Drummer Clementine is the founding member of ZEPPARELLA. From the beginning of her musical career, her goal has been to be onstage every night. The pursuit of that goal has led Clementine to constantly tour the US and Europe in projects as diverse as Bottom, AC/DShe, The House Of More, The Solid, Francis Bakin, Stars Turn Me On and Beaux Cheveux. She tackles the best rock drumming ever written with her own emotionally powerful style, bringing the Motown influence of the Bonham groove to the forefront. The profound musical connection established with Gretchen Menn (guitar), Holly West (bass), and Anna Kristina (vocals) creates the bond required to do this great music justice. It was under the tutelage of classical guitarist Phillip DeFremery, a student of Andr&#233;s Segovia, that guitarist Gretchen Menn began her path on the instrument. Playing with tireless passion and constantly seeking out new challenges, her projects are often unconventional, genre-bending expressions combining elements of classical, rock, progressive, jazz, and metal. On influences, Gretchen has never tired of her initial inspirations&#8212;Eric Johnson, Steve Morse, Frank Zappa, and Jeff Beck. But she has loved Jimmy Page&#8217;s guitar playing longer than she has played the guitar. It was through the music of Led Zeppelin that she found a gateway into music that resonated deeply with her, creating a love for guitar-oriented music, and, ultimately, the guitar. Bassist Holly West began her musical journey full-steam ahead, and more recently than her stellar playing belies. Her unstoppable will and drive have truly propelled her to this moment and her place in the powerhouse Zepparella. A self-taught bass player, she is also a blossoming vocalist with rich rock pipes. Her time on stage has been well spent, developing an impressive attack, impeccable feel, and a technique which seems to have come completely naturally to her, not to mention her dazzling stage presence and joyful performance style. Her influences span the rock gauntlet, from Clutch and the Rival Sons to Slash, ZZ Top, and of course, the mighty Zeppelin. Singer Anna Kristina is a soulful, fiery, and rocking vocal powerhouse who has stepped into Zepparella&#8217;s Plant spot for a second time. Anna was with the band for 5 years, became known for her performance in the band&#8217;s 15 million-view &#8220;When The Levee Breaks&#8221; video, took a 6-year hiatus, and now returns in 2018 to front the band. Her career has spanned acoustic, jazz, soul, rock, and her charisma and power delivers captivating performances every night. About her brilliant harp playing she says: &#8220;getting a chance to blow on the harmonica is an added bonus! Plant isn&#8217;t just a singer he&#8217;s a musician. He brings his blues background and natural percussive feel to his harmonica playing as well and I love getting lost in that. Playing the harp allows me to express on a whole different level and it&#8217;s so freeing.&#8221; Now more than ever, Zepparella explores their own improvised magic within the framework of Zeppelin&#8217;s mighty songs!]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Balance and Composure is an American emo band from Doylestown, Pennsylvania. The band was formed in 2007 by vocalist and guitarist Jon Simmons, drummer Bailey Van Ellis, guitarist and vocalist Andy Slaymaker and bassist Matt Warner, following the disbandments of their previous bands Erection Kids and Sceneic &#160; With you in spirit, the fourth Balance and Composure LP, is an arresting, atmospheric collection of melodic post-punk and towering rock. Due out October 4 on long-time collaborator and Grammy-nominated producer Will Yip&#8217;s Memory Music, it&#8217;s the band&#8217;s first LP in eight years, and a thrilling full-length comeback after their four-year hiatus. It thunders and stirs, dipping between beautiful, crystalline arrangements and punishing, earth-shaking climaxes; in between all, a gripping, near-physical tension crackles and growls and grooves, waiting to rip open. It&#8217;s an intensely self-reflective record for vocalist and guitarist Jon Simmons, an uprooting and examination of the supports on which a life is built. Preemptive grief, wrestling with god and faith, familial responsibility, familial mortality&#8212;these are the things Simmons was carrying while writing this material. They&#8217;re also things he was trying, for better and worse, to avoid&#8212;hence the record&#8217;s title. with you in spirit feels like the work of songwriters reaching new heights, exploring new depths. Sometimes, the record itself feels like a band grappling with its own avoidance, its own mortality, and deciding to face these things the only way they know how. Balance and Composure are with us in spirit, yes, but in the flesh, too, for now.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Memphis native Don Trip holds fast to his roots as a street rapper, even though he has stood next to Macklemore, Danny Brown, and Future for XXL Magazine's 2012 Freshman Class and has made songs with rap legends like Juicy J and Young Dolph. A nonstop work ethic has kept Don Trip grinding out a steady stream of mixtapes, EPs, and other projects that often come out within months of each other. Trip has kept his hustle up with a steady flow of independently released mixtapes in the late 2000s right on through to more fully realized studio efforts like 2023's The Devil You Know, multiple collaborations with Starlito, and parts one and two of Forgiveness Is God's Job (2025).Born Christopher Wallace in Memphis, Tennessee, Don Trip grew up in a rougher part of the city and his family struggled financially. Trip was working by the age of twelve, and at 15 he was inspired by Jay-Z, 2pac, and strangely enough the success of child pop rap phenomenon Kriss Kross to start rapping himself. In hopes that it would help his family, Trip began releasing his songs and performing live. Although he has been active since the mid-2000s, Trip's output became prolific just after the turn of the following decade. In 2011 alone, he released volumes in two series of solo mixtapes (one based on the Human Torch and one based on the Terminator), collaborated with Nashville native Starlito on Step Brothers, and hit Billboard's Hot R&#38;B/Hip-Hop chart with "Letter to My Son," released on Cool &#38; Dre's Interscope-affiliated First Family imprint. Step Brothers Two landed in 2013, then Trip resumed solo work with Godspeed, The Head That Wears the Crown, and 2 Clip Trip, independent titles released across 2015 and 2016. He and Starlito reconvened for Step Brothers Three in 2017. The following year saw Trip drop the full-length Christopher, which included features from Jus Bentley, Starlito, 8Ball, Singa B, and Bink4sho.Trip's stream of output continued apace, and along with guest spots on tracks for many other artists, the next several years saw the rapper release titles such as the 2021 album Pray God's Not Watching, the 2022 mixtape Christopher: Season 2, and several EPs. The Devil You Know, the most notable project of a dozen he released in 2023, included guest work from now-frequent collaborator Starlito, Kendrick P., Casino Jizzle, and others. Another dozen mixtapes and EP-length releases arrived throughout 2024, and in 2025, he connected with Starlito for Step Brothers 4 Life (plus subsequent editions Step Brothers Four &#38; a Half and Step Brothers 4 Life &#38; After) while also delivering his own Forgiveness Is God's Job...Part 1 and Forgiveness Is God's Job...Part 2. Deluxe versions of the latter two projects followed in 2026. ~ David Jeffries]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[&#8220;Authority Zero has never been called &#8220;negative.&#8221; Even during a pandemic, they kept their collective chin up, put their heads down and wrote what could be called their career album. Released in June 2021, Authority Zero&#8217;s album &#8220;Ollie Ollie Oxen Free&#8221; takes a line from hide and seek to encourage fans to leave the COVID-19 depression behind and celebrate life. During the pandemic, singer Jason DeVore saw families torn apart by political views and COVID-19. Now that the divide has somewhat subsided, it&#8217;s time to come out and be yourself again. &#8220;The phrasing in the title track stems from the idea of &#8216;come out, come out, wherever you are,&#8217;&#8221; says DeVore, who co-writes with bassist Michael Spero. &#8220;It encourages a focus on the positive side of 2020, while still maintaining awareness of the hardships and detriment of it all. People have been trapped within themselves, depressed inside of their houses and otherwise. We&#8217;ve been separated both politically and mentally between the left and right, which is very apparent. It&#8217;s a focus of come out, feel free and feel a sense of confidence to live with an unheavy heart and mind again.&#8221; The title track rattles those cages with DeVore&#8217;s encouraging lyrics, the frenetic blur of Christopher Dalley&#8217;s urgent drumming and Spero&#8217;s bass, coupled with guitar licks true to the playing style of returning guitarist Brandon Landelius. With its updated sound, &#8220;Ollie Ollie Oxen Free&#8221; fits in with Authority Zero&#8217;s catalog, DeVore says. &#8220;It&#8217;s more of the times of 2020,&#8221; he says. &#8220;We really tried to focus more on the positive side of things that came from the pandemic, rather than the negative that came out of it. &#8220;We inflect lyrics and music in an uplifting manner. We wanted to shine a light at the end of the tunnel.&#8221;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[The Gully Boys origin story begins in the aisles of a Minneapolis thrift shop. Vocalist/guitaristKathy Callahan (she/her) and co-worker Nadirah McGill (they/them) spent their days sharingdreams and building a friendship amongst racks of forgotten treasures. When Kathy confidedher desire to sing in a band, it set off a groundswell of events: Nadi grabbed a pair ofdrumsticks, and the two invited middle school friend Natalie Klemond (she/her) to join on bass.From there, a cover of Best Coast&#8217;s &#8220;Girlfriend&#8221; marked the start of a journey fueled byundeniable chemistry, channeling the raw energy of legends like No Doubt, Garbage, and Holeinto a sound that&#8217;s galvanizingly Gully.]]></description>
