The Polyphonic Spree is Today's Most Joyful Band: Photo Evidence

Tim DeLaughter passing on his joy via osmosis.

A Polyphonic Spree show is the closest you will ever come again to sitting around a campfire as an eight-year-old. The group is impractical (you try going on tour with a minor army), unhip (robes with hearts on them, guys!) and one of the best live experiences in music. What separates them from other bands with infectious happiness is the quality of the songs, but it is also the commitment of front man Tim DeLaughter. The Spree came to St. Louis over the weekend and photographer Jason Stoff was there. The bliss of this band is visual, and below you will find a sense of what it was like.

View a full slideshow of the Polyphonic Spree with openers New Fumes and Sweet Lee Morrow.

The Naked and Famous at the Gargoyle, 4/12/12: Snapshots

The Naked and Famous

The Naked and Famous brought a serious crowd and an even more serious light show to the Gargoyle on Washington University's campus last night. The New Zealand band left the crowd sweaty and happy. The show follows a last-second cancellation for a Raekwon concert and a poorly attended Teengirl Fantasy show, and we're glad to get back to the music. Kholood Eid was there to catch the bright lights and highlights; see a few of her best shots below.

Last night, George Thorogood, seller of fifteen million albums, writer of "Bad to the Bone," came to the Pageant last night with his band the Destroyers. He's still an active performer, and photographer Todd Owyoung was there to preserve the rock & roll for posterity. A few highlights can be found below.

MuteMath's Odd Soul tour made a stop at the Pageant last night. The New Orleans band is touring in support of 2011's album of the same name. Photographer Kholood Eid was there to capture the show, from opener Canon Blue to MuteMath's light-adorned, cymbal-crashing entrance through the crowd.

Rob Derhak of moe. performing at the Pageant on February 16, 2012.

They've been playing together since the late 1980s -- long enough to know how to throw a hell of a party. And that's just what moe. did last night at The Pageant. RFT photographer Todd Owyoung brings back these photos of the band and its fans (a.k.a. "moe.rons") who just can't get enough of the Buffalo-based jam band.

Heartless Bastards' Arrow comes out next Tuesday.

Heartless Bastards has moved from Dayton to Austin in the course of a career making dusty rock. Its newest release, Arrow, is its most refined work to date. You can listen to it now a week ahead of its proper release through NPR's First Listen series.

The band stopped by the Firebird last night, and photographer Megan Gilliland was there to capture the mood. Her shots are below -- if you're looking for some accompanying live cuts, head over to KDHX; the band played an in-studio on Chris Bay's Gold Soundz show.

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.

Crowd surfers at AWOLNATION

AWOLNATION attracted a capacity crowd to Pop's Nightclub in Sauget on Saturday. The band induced crowd surfing, iPhone-video-taking and screaming along. The incomparable Todd Owyoung was there to take in the excitement -- see a few highlights from his set below.
