Bone Up

Look for big things from Head of Femur in the future. In typical big-thinking fashion, an eighteen-piece incarnation of the band performed Ringodom or Proctor in its entirety at a sold-out show at Schubas in Chicago. And although its first record has only been out for a few months, the band already has its next three records written and plans to release a DVD of behind-the-scenes moments and onstage antics. But you, dear reader, have a chance to get in on the ground floor and see Head of Femur before mainstream media pounces upon them and uses their songs to sell iPods and French fries. Come on, St. Louis; come join the Head of Femur party. Don't just do it for the music; do it for the civic pride.
