St. Louis Club Has Funny List But Charges Bands to Play

By ANNIE ZALESKI

In a post today, Idolator spotlighted the Creepy Crawl‘s long-standing list of “Top 39 Annoying Things That Bands Do.” Now, that list has been up for as long as I can remember — and I’ve lived here for three years now. And in light of the club’s declining number of shows (if not the quality of shows it hosts), some of these items are quite funny. To wit:

8. Bands that spell their names with a strange spelling twist e.g., junkeez, katz etc. After meeting the band, however, we are left with the impression that they didn’t intentionally try and spell their name with a twist but rather they probably just don’t know how to spell.

Bands currently booked at the venue:

Dedwayte

Auburne Trayce

Gas Money:

INCORRECT UNDERSTANDING: $200 is not gas money. $200 is we’re partying all night on the East Side and getting privates at Roxy’s for everyone in the band.

Reality:

Um, today? $200 might barely cover a band heading to Kansas City.

What’s not acknowledged in the list is the following MySpace bulletin, which is reposted frequently — and, judging from grumblings on mailing lists I’m on — has pissed off a lot of bands in town…
