Posted by Anne McCullough on April 4, 2013 | Leave a Comment
A combination of performance and production, spontaneous energy and well-honed craft, Lo-Fi Cherokee returns on April 13, 2013.
Lo-Fi Cherokee is a completely unique event conceived in 2012, that is best described as a hybrid event that brings music, video, social media and St. Louis city culture together.
16 local bands and solo acts from new unknowns to veterans of the scene will set up shop in various locales up and down Cherokee Street, one of the primary arteries of the independent art and music scene here in St Louis, and play stripped-down versions of their songs. Bill Streeter and a series of production crews will move from one location to the next, capturing immaculate audio and video of the performances in the span of a single day.

After 2 years of hosting exhibitions and events, Aisle 1 Gallery at 2627 (Art Monster will be moving into 2627 Cherokee) Cherokee Street has closed.

Silicon Prairie: America’s New Internet Economy, featuring Scarlett Garnet & STL-Style
Posted by Anne McCullough on March 19, 2013 | Leave a Comment
Silicon Prairie: America’s New Internet Economy is a short documentary film about the growth of new media/technology hubs in cities and towns across the American Midwest. Filmmakers from Nimblebot.com set out in October 2012, following a Reddit.com bus tour that traveled from Colorado to Kentucky to show how entrepreneurs, politicians, community organizers and internet enthusiasts are building vibrant new businesses in unexpected places. The film shows entrepreneurial hubs as fragile ecosystems, which require unfettered internet freedom, which hold great potential for revitalization, job-creation and innovation in America’s heartland.
