Louisana Red

May 7 6:00 PM
The Blues Master, Louisana Red, with a special performance at Vintage Vinyl
Let me explain. We don’t normally become too excited by the appearance of many touring blues artists when they visit St. Louis. Doubtless this comes from living in one of the foundation cities in the entire world, when it comes to Blues. In other words, it has to be, given the excellence of so many of our own home-grown blues artists right here in the Lou, someone who is exceptional…
We really are quite happy and pleased to announce the arrival of an actual, bonafide living legend of the blues: the extraordinary Mr. Louisiana Red. Those are Papa Ray’s words, and everyone you read is true. He will be appearing here at 6PM, on May 7th, and shall be performing at the foremost venue for blues in our city, BBs jazz Blues And Soups the following night.
Born in Alabama in 1932, he has spent the best part of the last 35 years working and living in Europe. He is an arresting showman of the blues, and the sheer wallop of his vocals and the intensity of his solo guitar playing makes it unnecessary for him to perform with a full band (although his discography gives ample proof that his group recordings are also mighty fine). In his own unique sound, the closest we can come to describing Red is to say he has carved out a very personal sound somewhere between Lightnin’ Hopkins and Muddy Waters, but that doesn’t really do him justice (Papa Ray says that having heard him perform live several years ago, he felt it was the closest he would ever come to knowing what it must have been like to see Charley Patton peform).
Suffice to say here in St. Louis, where we have seen every great blues artist on the planet, as well as contributing a few to the world, Louisiana Red stands out as a unique and moving blues artist, and as the saying goes, Respect Is Due.
Now, make your way over and see a sure-and-true artist worthy of the term ‘Legendary’. Louisiana Red, live at Vintage Vinyl, may 7th at 6PM; be sure to catch him when he hits the stage at BB’s, on Broadway in the downtown, the following night. This will be exceptional, and we mean what we say.

Major league 2 for 1 instore with St. Louis' brightest MCs Gotta Be Karim and Vandalyzm
Spring is here and our store and neighborhood is buzzing with some killer local hip hop releases with the newest being "Bean Pie" by Gotta Be Karim. Featured on the Pitchfork approved CD from Black Spade (and guest spottin' at Black Spade's packed instore performance), Gotta Be Karim is one of St. Louis' illest wordsmiths and rhymers. If you've seen a cool local hip hop showcase chances are that Gotta Be Karim was in the house and most likely stole the show.
Another local release that topped our hip hop charts for months over the winter is "Megatron Majorz" by Vandalyzm. Due to scheduling conflicts Vandalyzm unfortunately never had an official instore CD release so Vintage Vinyl is fixing that and is proud to be representing for two of St. Louis' biggest and brightest underground MCs on May 9th when Gotta Be Karim and Vandalyzm share the stage starting at 8:00PM. Don't miss this free and all ages event!

Get a free sample of Dark Meat live at Vintage Vinyl
With all things in life, there is good and evil. In the musical world of large ensemble groups you have the positive "Up With People" feel good vibes of acts like the Polyphonic Spree then there is always the dark side which takes perfect form as the Athens group Dark Meat.
A collective (or is it a cult?) that conjure some unique, heavy negative energy through songs like "Angels Of Meth", "Three Eyes Open" and "Well F%ck You Then", Dark Meat create havoc and chaos with their special brew of Funkadelic meets the Stooges psychedelic dirges, massive free jazz horn donkage and some underworld inspired choir style backing vocals while not losing sight of 'the song'. The perfect family band if your last name happens to be Manson.
Dark Meat are on the road supporting their Vice Records release "Universal Indians" and will be making a very special instore performance at Vintage Vinyl on May 21st beginning at 5:00PM. The instore will be a special mini-preview of the full length Armageddon and destruction they will be bringing later that evening when they take the stage (and much more) at The Bluebird (www.bluebirdstl.com).

Get a free sample of the new east side rock sound, The Mhurs
While some have tagged the band as "psychedelic western swing" and while The Mhurs do sprinkle some slide and keys flavoring to their songs, in general the band is all rawk. With a nod to the Strokes and a possible wink to The Toadies, The Mhurs have quietly been making some big noise on the east side of the Mississippi and are bringing that noise to Vintage Vinyl on May 30th at 7:00PM in celebration of their new CD " The Mhurs". The band's instore performance is free and all ages.
