The Mountain Goats

The Mountain Goats just announced a second leg to their fall tour, and have included St. Louis on their itinerary. They will be playing at the Gargoyle on October 23, which is unfortunately a Monday. Nonetheless, they put on a great show and the, um, "intimate" environs of the Gargoyle should be a nice setting for singer John Darnielle's wonderful lyrics. The Mountain Goats just released their latest CD, Get Lonely, on 4AD records.
