The English Beat @ The Depot 05.21 with The Interrupters,...
Tonight is not the first time I’ve seen the English Beat and I’m certain it won’t be the last. Last year I covered their gig and I’m sure tonight’s show will not be a disappointment. I arrive at the Depot just in time to catch the Show Me Island set. … read more
They Might Be Giants @ The Depot 05.05

The following week, I decided that the only logical course of action was to check out their show at The Depot.

Tycho @ The Depot 09.17 With Christopher Willits

Mastodon @ The Depot 05.04 with Gojira, Kvelertak
I sure do love hitting up tours with great bands I’ve never seen live before, and such was the case for a rare Sunday night show at The Depot to catch Kvelertak, Gojira, and the mighty Mastodon. A fucking strong tour, excellent sets from all involved—overall a fantastic night of metal. … read more
