Thursday, May 22, City Museum, 7:00 pm

Midwest Mayhem is back to rock the City Museum, Saint Louis’s most exciting and eclectic setting. From pop to blues to zydeco to country and beyond, the lineup reflects KDHX’s commitment to diversity, and the fun extends to face painting, dance and even a burlesque revue.

Twelve local bands – including So Many Dynamos, Gumbohead, Rough Shop, Caleb Travers, Chris Talley Trio, Alvin Jett and the Phat Noiz Blues Band, the Hibernauts, Dub Kitchen, Earthworms, Zimbabwe Nkenya, Jon Hardy and the Public, and the Feed -- will perform at this annual party for the public. The Alley Cat Revue, Saint Louis’s premier burlesque troupe, will be strutting their stuff and adding to the merriment.

Inside a 600,000 square-foot building, once home to the International Shoe Company, the City Museum is a self-described "children's playground, funhouse, surrealistic pavilion, and architectural marvel made out of unique, found objects." It is located at 701 North 15th Street in downtown Saint Louis.

Midwest Mayhem takes place at the City Museum on Thursday, May 22, 2008 from 7:00 pm until 1:00 am. Tickets will be available at the door for $15. If you donated $50 or higher during our Spring Membership Drive, your ticket(s) will arrive in the mail. All proceeds benefit KDHX Community Media (88.1 FM and TV 21 22).
