Xmas at Off Broadway

Wow. I'm just realizing that I haven't been to Off Broadway in, oh, two or three weeks. One of the joys of living near a venue that books music that you like is the ability to simply zip over there on a whim. And this weekend provides such inducement. Whether or not you live five-minutes away is up-to-you.

Tomko Bomb Co. presents the 3rd annual installment of A Very Merry Christmas Spectacular this December 21st and 22nd at Off Broadway. Last year's AVMCS was named by Spin Magazine as one of the three things that you MUST do in St. Louis in December and this year's event is poised to be dramatically bigger than its predecessors.

This year's AVMCS has an unbeatable bill comprised of some of the region's hottest bands, all of which have been garnering praise from critics and fans alike throughout the US. The first night features The Bureau, The Hibernauts, and The Makeshift Gentlemen from St. Louis, and Witch's Hat from Columbia, MO. The second night features So Many Dynamos, Gentleman Auction House, and Laite from St. Louis, and Light Pollution from Dekalb, IL.

A new feature to be included in this year's event is VIDEOLOGY from Columbia, MO, who in one form or another has worked with The Flaming Lips, Grandaddy, Elliot Smith, The Polyphonic Spree, Pavement, etc. VIDEOLOGY will be adding a unique visual layer to AVMCS by surrounding Off Broadway with four giant video screens to provide visualizations for all of the bands and to VJ in between the sets.

Vintage Vinyl, KDHX 88.1 FM, Dividing By Zero, Apples & Cats Media will all be providing promotional support and handcrafted, silk-screened posters have been created by John Vogl at The Bungaloo.

Both nights will start promptly at 9:00pm and are 18 and up shows. Tickets can be purchased online at www.offbroadwaystl.com and at the door for $7.
