Weekend Decisions

It’s been an insanely great fall for live music in St. Louis; this coming weekend is no exception. Here are my picks:

Fri 11/21 Reverend Horton Heat and Nashville Pu**y @ Pop’s

Fri 11/21 Dar Williams @ the Duck Room

Sat 11/22 Little Joy and the Dead Trees @ the Duck Room

Sat 11/22 Elf Power and Vic Chesnutt @ Off Broadway

Sat 11/22 The Hard Lessons @  Cicero’s

OK, so it’s not humanly possible to do all three on Saturday. While I hate missing Vic (the new record with the Elves is a bit of a rough ride) and the Hard Lessons, (a ferocious rock power trio with some twangy edges), I think I’ll opt for Little Joy and the Dead Trees (pictured above), mostly for the latter, who have been in heavy iTunes rotation since I picked up the Portland band’s Fort Music EP on eMusic. If you like bristling, smart and hooky rock, you might want to join me at Chez Duck.

What are you doing?

    Good pick. Just saw the Dead Trees in Cambridge and they were amazing. I love the King of Rosa CD.
