Lo-Fi Cherokee Premiere Party
7 p.m. Sunday, May 28. Off Broadway, 3509 Lemp Avenue. $10. 314-498-6989.
St. Louis videographer Bill Streeter's Lo-Fi Cherokee series is, undoubtedly, one of the St. Louis music community's most beloved and sparkling gems. Now 12 years in, the series sees more than a dozen bands take over an equal number of venues along Cherokee Street, playing one-song, one-take sets while Streeter and Co. undertake the monumental process of capturing each performance for a collection of music videos to be released down the line. It is a task near-Sisyphean in nature, and the fact that the crew successfully pulls it off year after year stands as a testament to their immense talent. This April saw 13 different performances by local artists including Ellen Cook, Jeffy and the Sunken Heads, the Mighty Pines, Future/Modern, the Bottlesnakes, Drea Vocalz, Midwest Avengers, Lynn O'Brien, David Gomez, Maximum Effort, Daemon, Tristano and Superfun Yeah Yeah Rocketship. This week marks the premiere party for the whole affair, which will see Off Broadway serving as the setting while guests are treated to an exclusive screening of all of the fruits of this year's labor.
Don't Fret: Those who are unable to make it out to the premiere will not be left out: Starting the week after the event, the videos will be trickled out one by one each Tuesday and Thursday on Lo-Fi St. Louis' Youtube page. Stay tuned there for all the latest.
Subhumans w/ Cop Out
8 p.m. Monday, May 29. Off Broadway, 3509 Lemp Avenue. $20. 314-498-6989.
One of the most remarkable things about Subhumans' music is its consistency. From its initial run in the early '80s to its temporary '90s reunions to its ongoing '00s-era reformation, the UK-based band has reliably churned out catchy anarcho-punk earworms full of heady lyricism, sing-shouted vocals and sharp riffage, often in under-three-minute packages. Its newer material stands easily beside its classic music as well — were it not for the more modern recording sound and the passage of time reflected in singer Dick Lucas' voice, it would be just about indistinguishable, in fact. Take the band's latest, 2019's Crisis Point, an 11-track ripper for which only one song breaks the three-minute mark. The group's first in 12 years, the album confronts the era of disinformation, conspiracy and propaganda in which we currently reside head-on, and in general decries the ongoing decline of Western civilization by way of its own excesses. Of course, that would all play as a bit academic if the music wasn't up to snuff, but fortunately Lucas and Co. prove across the album's runtime that they still have the necessary chops and abundant hooks to deliver in that department as well.
Live in a Dive: It's not every week that Subhumans makes a trip across the pond to the middle of the United States — the last time we were graced with the band's presence was as an opening act for Pears at the Firebird way back in 2016. Let's show 'em a little Midwestern hospitality at this Off Broadway show, yes?
