Asylum Street Spankers

Founded fourteen years ago at a booze and hallucinogen-fueled party at the Dabbs Hotel along the river in Llano, Texas, the Asylum Street Spankers stand as one of America’s most distinctive groups. Defiantly acoustic, fiercely independent and absurdly good, the Spankers have been led by founders Christina Marrs and Wammo from being a country-blues revival act playing happy hours in Austin, through nearly 40 musicians, endless touring and constant evolution to being an internationally reknowned underground institution. Fueled by an ethos born of their punk roots, Marrs and Wammo have built their lives around making unique music that surprises and entertains.

Udi and His Fellow Villagers w/ The In?

Few, if any, bands these days can boast 14 individual pieces of funk. But Udi and His Fellow Villagers has set out on a mission to bring the funk the way it’s supposed to be heard. Six blazing horns, a rock solid rhythm section, and two soulful singers combined with a determination to get everyone up and dancing make for one of the most exciting and unique sounds in St. Louis. Whether offering up tunes of funk masters like James Brown and Tower of Power or dishing out some original grooves, Udi and His Fellow Villagers is quickly establishing itself as the funkiest, freakiest, getting-downiest band to hit St. Louis in a dog’s age.
