Watsky has released four studio albums, an essay collection titled “How to Run Everything” and continues to tour performing his music and spoken-word poetry.

If you take the sexuality and general aesthetic of “The Rocky Horror Show” and cross it with indie rock and synth pop, you’ll end up with Thursday night’s of Montreal concert at The Ready Room.

Check out these St. Louis-area concerts before you go home for fall break (if you have time during midterm season).

With the recent release of their newest single, upcoming album and an abundant list of performances coming in the next few months (including a date tonight at the Ready Room), it is no wonder that The Mowgli’s life and music is filled with excitement and good vibes. But after a phone interview with lead singer Colin Dieden, I could sense that the love that fills their music is anything but temporary.

Known for his laidback post-rock soundscapes filled with ambient melodies and soft synthesizers, music producer and artist Tycho will be bringing his distinctive style to the stage at The Ready Room, a venue in The Grove, this Wednesday.

If you’re a fan of electronic-fueled synth-pop filled with syrupy sweet vocals (think along the lines of Icona Pop, Ellie Goulding, or Marina and the Diamonds) then The Ready Room should be your destination of choice this Wednesday night. Canadian producer-slash-chanteuse Valerie Poxleitner, better known under her stage name Lights, comes to the downtown venue on her headlining U.S. tour.

From their humble beginnings of practicing in a tiny apartment along the beaches of Long Beach, Calif., the Cold War Kids have the modest upbringing you’d expect of an originally obscure indie rock band. Yet since its startup in 2004, the band has experienced an explosion of popularity and fandom, allowing it to travel the world touring and even make its way to St. Louis this Thursday, Jan. 29.

What better time to get off campus and spend a few hours lost in live music than syllabus week? I certainly can’t think of one—and this upcoming Friday will present the perfect opportunity when Jukebox the Ghost visits St. Louis and posts up in the intimate yet always enjoyable venue The Ready Room. Even if you’ve never heard of Jukebox the Ghost, this three-piece indie pop outfit should be a perfect fit for fans of bands like Ra Ra Riot or Givers.
