Ten Best Things to Do in St. Louis This Weekend: May 27-30

The Gorge finds inspiration from Coltrane to Stravinsky in its pursuit of heaviness.jpeg

The Gorge is putting out its long-awaited debut, Prehistoric Relapse, tonight at the Firebird. Curren$y brings his Jet Life Tour to the Old Rock House, and that's just the beginning for tonight: Dylan gets a proper birthday tribute at Off Broadway with a gaggle of great locals doing covers, Get Serious joins Mass Appeal to give you a hangover that'll make you glad you have Monday off and the Pageant hosts a hell of a free hip-hop lineup. It's a busy weekend at the latter: Jimmy Eat World and Primus also make stops at the big club on Delmar in the next couple of days.

We're giving the blog some quiet time on Monday so we can fire up the BBQ and listen to this on repeat:

See you Tuesday.
