Man, this is sad. Last 5 songs, AND I have to follow MrsCasey. Gonna be a tough night/morning for ole hmlessalky.
I was thinking today about my summers. Once I hit about 15, I really started going to concerts. Local bands mostly, cause they were awesome and cheap. There used to be this bar on Washington Ave, I think it was 1227 at the time, and they used to have these Saturday afternoon hardcore shows. Bunch of bands from all over and a bunch of local bands. Every show, at about the half-way point, people would have to leave to keep their cars from being towed. This was one of the STL staples. Sorry the sound sucks.

There were a few bands I saw a LOT. This was one of them. Incredible talent. Actually, they had a different lead singer for most of those years, but Sony Records wanted to sign them....if they would switch out their lead singer. So they did. And the new guy was good as well. I still run into the bass player on occasion, he's a cool cat. Not that it was summer, but one fall day me and my day were hanging out and he asked what I wanted to do. We just happened to be in N. STL heading south, and he asked about the time we were approaching downtown. I said "Hey, this kick ... band is recording a video at Mississippi Nights on the landing, you wanna go?" "Sounds like a good time to me" he said. So you can actually see us in the video for 48 Months (not available in this country). Anywhoo, here is some good ole Sinister Dane action.
Here is probably one of the few STL bands who actually did well on the national circuit (there were a few pop bands, but they escape me now). Talk about some fun shows. The energy was amazing. Plus, I really like me some horns....
This band might be one of the ones I got to see the most. People used to confuse me and the guitarist all the time. It was like he was a slightly bigger version of me. I shaved my head, he shaved his head. I grew a beard, he grew a beard. It was weird. They opened up for the previous two bands quite often and it was kind of crazy to see what the lead singer (a substitute teacher) would wear. Often it was a pretty dress of some sort. When I lived in S. Carolina for a year, they came through each summer with the Urge. Great show, and made me a little less homesick. Plus I got to party with the bands, since my best childhood friend was the head roadie fro The Urge. And I got to party with 3-11 in Kentucky as well!
Not their best song, but it is the best video out there. I present for your listening pleasure....Fragile Porcelain Mice

Closing out this awesome contest for me, being held by one awesome juice vendor, is going to be easy. As I stated before, I love me some horns. Hence I love me some Ska music. And these guys were probably one of the best shows to go and get pumped at. They were the band playing on me and the (now) wife's first date. The last time I saw them I felt like a giant due to the younger generation showing up (and being short). But really excellent music. And a song about the people who live in South City. Hey, I lived in South STL for about 5 years....darnit. No video, but listen to the song. It is my last one for this contest.
