Troubadour Dali to Play Free Residency Sunday Nights at Off Broadway


ST. LOUIS: Troubadour Dali is returning to Off Broadway for a four-week Sunday night free concert residency to demonstrate once again that they are one of the most exciting bands rocking in St. Louis. There’s no proof like a live show, with the psychedelic swirling guitars mixed with the psychedelic swirling visuals that make Troubadour Dali one of the must-see bands for all local fans of rock music. Better yet, they will be joined on the bills by several other great local outfits. Did we mention the concerts are free? Off Broadway is located at 3509 Lemp.

The residency begins Sunday, Jan. 8 at 9 pm, with opening act Ocean Rivals, a straight-ahead rock band. On Jan. 15, Troubadour Dali will be joined by the homespun Americana of Tenement Ruth and the full-throttle assault of Warm Jets USA. The Jan. 22 show will also feature the lo-fi joys of Frances With Wolves and the neo-psych sounds of Electric Garden. Finally, on Jan. 29, a full bill includes the one-man punk/blues act Red Mouth, the indescribably powerful Magic City, and the ever-evolving Rats and People Orchestra.

Troubadour Dali has released two full-length albums and a 7” single on the Euclid Records label. Their 2011 release, Let’s Make It Right, was one of the highlights of the year, a churning, burning celebration of the power of 12-string guitar and darkly incandescent melody. But, as has been the case since the release of their self-titled debut back in late 2009, the band’s live show has already moved past the sounds captured on recordings. The chance to play four weeks in a row in the same place is practically guaranteed to push Troubadour Dali to new heights of excellence.
