May 9, 2024 | riverfronttimes.com | Daniel Hill |Steve Leftridge

This week St. Louis sees a stop from the legendary NYC experimental rock act Swans, who will bring an apocalyptic cacophony of hypnotically delivered nihilism and complex soundscapes to Delmar Hall on Friday. Elsewhere, Atlanta's Mariah the Scientist comes through to the Pageant on Tuesday, fresh off last week's arrest in which she is accused of attacking a woman at a nightclub.

May 6, 2024 | riverfronttimes.com | Paula Tredway |Daniel Hill

On and off the field, Battlehawks quarterback Manny Wilkins Jr. is five. Or, make that 5IVE. “Everything in my life kind of revolves around five,” he explains. “I was born in ‘95, I had the number five since college, I was referred to as five. It just kind of became a thing. In my music, 5IVE is Manny, Manny is 5IVE.

How Steve Ewing Became the Hardest Working Rock Star in St. Louis

Apr 24, 2024 | riverfronttimes.com | Steve Leftridge |Daniel Hill

When Steve Ewing unlocks the door to Steve's Hot Dogs on South Grand, the flagship location of his growing restaurant chain, he pulls open the door handle, which is shaped like a handheld microphone. There must be incredible muscle memory built into such a grip for Ewing, as he has held a similar microphone during thousands of shows as the lead singer for the Urge and in his various solo configurations dating back to his days as a teenager at Webster Groves High School in the '80s.
KDHX Gave Kelly Wells a Raise Even as Revenue Plummeted

Apr 23, 2024 | riverfronttimes.com | Daniel Hill |Steve Leftridge

What happens when the nonprofit radio station you run begins hemorrhaging donors and listeners and, through a series of your own actions, loses the faith of the community it purports to serve? If that station is KDHX, it would appear that you get a raise. According to the station's tax return signed by Executive Director Kelly Wells and dated March 14, Wells was paid more than $100,000 in reportable compensation last year, even as the station's revenue sharply declined.
After 55 Years, the Aerovons Are Finally the Next Big Thing

Apr 18, 2024 | riverfronttimes.com | Steve Leftridge |Daniel Hill

Quick: What musical act was the American equivalent of the Beatles? The Byrds? Dylan? The Beach Boys? The Aerovons? Wait. You’ve never heard of the Aerovons!? Well, I guess you can be forgiven since the Aerovon’s prodigious 1969 debut album was lost for decades. But if there was one band that was poised to be the American Beatles and the Next Big Thing, it was the Aerovons. They had it all — the talent, the songs, the look — all in the right place and at the right time.

Apr 18, 2024 | riverfronttimes.com | Daniel Hill |Paula Tredway

This week brings multiple varieties of hardcore punk to St. Louis, with Better Lovers set to offer Off Broadway on Friday the mathy metalcore you'd expect from a group whose ranks include former members of Every Time I Die and the Dillinger Escape Plan; Modern Life Is War bringing its driving, anthemic hardcore and heart-on-sleeve lyricism to Off Broadway on Saturday; and Chicago upstarts Stress Positions serving up some relentlessly fast and chaotic powerviolence-adjacent fury at a DIY show...
Loop Trolley Driver's Ed Resumes Today as St. Louis Braces For Impact

Apr 1, 2024 | riverfronttimes.com | Daniel Hill |Sarah Fenske

While we can all agree that training the poor fools doomed to pilot St. Louis' most whimsical parked-car-bashing machine is an excellent idea — something obviously needs to be done, after all — it's just a point of fact that this period of Trolley Driver's Ed will be among the most dangerous of them all for those unlucky enough to find themselves in the Loop in the coming weeks.
