Menomena Returns to St. Louis, Albeit Without A Member
On Friday, word broke that multi-instrumentalist Brent Knopf was leaving Menomena. In a brief statement, the band said, "After 10 years of fruitÂful colÂlabÂoÂraÂtion, Brent Knopf has decided to part ways with MenomÂena to focus on Ramona Falls and other creÂative purÂsuits. We want to thank Brent for his vast conÂtriÂbuÂtions over the years and wish him nothÂing but hapÂpiÂness in all of his future endeavÂors." That's the bad news. The good news? According to that same blogpost, Menomena is returning to St. Louis on March 10 at the Gargoyle. (Paul Alcott will be joining the group on the tour.) This is mere months after the group played at the Luminary Center for the Arts. A word of warning, as usual: The Gargoyle hasn't yet announced this show, so stay tuned for official confirmation hopefully soon.
