Uliana Preotu of Me Talk Pretty isn't the only one who talks pretty.

​Me Talk Pretty is on the up-and-up, and a big reason seems to be the band's live show, which features singer Uliana Preotu lending her considerable charm to win whatever crowd shows up on a given night. Todd Owyoung was among those at Pop's Nightclub in Sauget to capture the human tractor beam in action; highlights from his set are below.

Basking in the glow of Big Head Todd & the Monsters.

​Big Head Todd & the Monsters came from Colorado to tell the crowd that the Pageant is its second favorite venue behind the legendary Red Rocks. High praise indeed, and mellow rock enthusiasts were treated to a set from the veteren band touring in support of its eleventh studio album. Kansas City's Trampled Under Foot opened; Todd Owyoung was there to document the scene.

​Steve Aoki brought his globe-trotting, taste-making self to St. Louis last night for a show at the Pageant. And he had no plans to simply jockey discs. There was champagne sprayed, shirts removed, dancing and general mayhem. Datsik, Terravita and Cor(E)yography opened. Photographer Todd Owyoung was there; a few highlights from the shoot follow.

GRAAAAAAAAAA

​Todd Owyoung went to Pop's Nightclub (401 Monsanto Avenue, 618-274-6720) last night to let out some agression with the rest of the crowd for Machine Head. And we're not kidding -- if this is it and the world's not long for this universe (what's that you say about Mayan misinterpretation?) we will gladly take up a paddle and make our way through the blood river with this guy acting as our ????*. In the mean time, enjoy some of the highlights from the headbanging at last night's show.

*NOTE: Look up on Wikipedia the name of the guy who announces the strokes at the head of a rowing team.

​Avicii, the 22-year-old Swedish EDM Grammy nominee and Coachella 2012 performer, played a sold-out show at the Pageant (6161 Delmar Boulevard, 314-726-6161) last night. His crowed skewed slightly older than some of the other dance acts the venue has booked in the past year, but they were no less enthusiastic. Todd Owyoung has the proof -- check some highlights below.

​El Monstero: The Pink Floyd tribute capable of putting more asses in the Pageant (6161 Delmar Boulevard, 314-726-6161) than any other force known to man. We're rolling through this season's six scheduled shows, and photographer Khoolod Eid was on hand Saturday to take in the sights. And make no mistake, there were plenty of sights. The tribute spares no expense or logistical consideration to expand its stage show year after year, and in 2011 we have dancers, body paint, pyrotechnics, set pieces...and on. Check for yourself with a few highlights, below.

Ludo heads back to the bar.

​St. Louis' Ludo has been playing Christmas shows since before the band caught its big break with 2008's You're Awful, I Love You.
