Despite the intimate crowd at Off Broadway Tuesday night, the Spring Standards were able to generate a real party atmosphere on the dance floor.

Last night, St. Louis hosted Portugal. The Man on its first major headlining tour. But this was no normal tour. Its sponsor, Jägermeister, was everywhere, complete with a DJ spinning for the set changes and the all-important Jäger girls strutting about the Pageant in tight leather, handing out freebies and other swag.

The Jagermeister Music Tour came to the Pageant Sunday night, featuring three young indie-rock acts that each have a penchant for moody and melodic sounds.

Taking place in an empty 2720, a club which normally hosts a slew of reggae and hip hop shows, Union Tree Review's "Excavate" became one of Show Me Show's most thrilling performances.

It was a boisterous birthday bash for the Blind Eyes at Off Broadway on Saturday night, who were celebrating the third anniversary of their debut release, "Modernity."

Indie rock enthusiasts, supporters, and musicians made their way to Off Broadway Monday night for an evening with Peter Wolf Crier, No Bird Sing and Union Tree Review.

Midtown Alley Street Fest took over Locust Street from Garrison Avenue to Hotel Ignacio on Saturday.

Friday night of An Under Cover Weekend 5 at the Firebird was soulful, funky and most exceptionally hard-rocking.

The idea behind An Under Cover Weekend is simple: Local bands transform themselves into their favorite artists to pay tribute to them for 30 minutes. The result of months of hard work culminates in two nights of rock celebration at the Firebird that captures the essence of rock 'n' roll.

Three St. Louis local favorites plus one from Texas filled the Firebird to capacity with hungry fans Saturday night. 

High fives and raised drinks abounded at the Firebird on Saturday night. The occasion for the celebratory conduct was the dual album release show for St. Louis indie rock bands, Bo and the Locomotive and Union Tree Review.

The lushly-crafted indie rock of Union Tree Review evokes a late-night drive through neon-flashed streets, destination not entirely known.

Local favorites Union Tree Review and Bo and the Locomotive announced they will be playing a show together in July to celebrate their new album releases. 

Friday night at Off Broadway, a close to capacity crowd was treated to a barrage of sights and sounds translated to energy that passed from person to person like the common cold.
