Labor Day seems like so far away on this Monday, September 14, doesn't it? Here's a recap of our weekend coverage.
Jumbling Towers at the FirebirdMusic writer Bob McMahon was at the first Jumbling Towers show in St. Louis in about a year, and had this to say about the group: "After a seemingly interminable hiatus, Jumbling Towers made its long-awaited return to the stage last night with a powerful,
if occasionally shaky, reminder of why it's one of St. Louis's best
indie-rock bands. Not playing a show in about a year left the quartet
with some rust to discard, but the Towers still put on a winning
performance that offered a great showcase of their unique sound."

Pepper Lounge Seventh AnniversaryOn Saturday night, one of downtown's longest-running nightclubs, the Pepper Lounge, celebrated seven years in business with a party. Egan O'Keefe was there and has
these photos. After looking at
this photo for a while, I'm still not quite sure what's going on there.
Crocodiles at Halo BarHere in the Loop, the Pageant and its adjoining Halo Bar hosted two concerts, about an hour apart from each other. The first was a free show with Crocodiles, a buzzed-about California duo-turned-full-band, which played a free show, unlike its last visit here when
they didn't play at all due to sound issues. From the looks of
this photo, the band more than made up for it with its performance Saturday night. (Bonus music points: Check out the F.U.'s shirt worn by the drummer, who also plays in Italian punk band Smart Cops.)
Hottub at the PageantThree female singers make up the raunchy, hip hop-punk group Hottub, based in Oakland. On Saturday inside the Pageant, the group moved the crowd,
invited people on stage and did a lot of
air-humping, on its stop here as part of the "No Sleep 'Til Oakland" tour.
