The Oddity Faire: A Mutated Mini Fest was just as much as it was anticipated to be:  weird, amusing, interesting and of course - a unique experience.  For those who did not attend the tour stop at our own Pageant right here in St. Louis on March 17, 2009, you missed a crazy night.

Currently Les Claypool is touring for the remainder of this month (majority of this tour was through out this month) and along with him are a variety of other opening bands/groups that also deserve the title of "oddity." In St. Louis, these oddities were:  Secret Chiefs 3, Saul Williams, and Devotchka - 2 of which are good friends of Les Claypool.

Coming soon to the Pageant near you...LES CLAYPOOL! The former Primus band member,  Leslie Edward Claypool will be gracing us St. Louisians with his electrifying sounds and die hard fans.  Be prepared to be blown  away with his strumming, finger-tapping, string slapping technique.

His original sound is worthy of tickets with prices ranging from $50-$100 (even though the Pageant is General Admission).  So far, the cheapest online ticket vendor for this event is http://www.wegoplaces.com/ and the cheapest price over all is $24.99 at the Pageant box office. Grab yours now so you can jam out to Les Claypool's wicked bass sounds on St. Patrick's Day! (His new album also comes out the same day: Of Fungi and Foes)

The "Queen of Mean", Lisa Lampanelli, is coming to the The Pageant Friday, February 20.  Lisa is known for her insulting, raunchy comedy, as well as the many celebrity "roasts" she has performed over the years.  If you like racial, sexual, and other obscene types of comedy, be sure to check her out.

Tickets for the show are available now for  $35.50 at TicketMaster.com.   Doors open at 7pm and the act starts at 8.  Must be 18+ to attend.
