[CRITIC’S PICK]

St. Louis ex-pat Allison Durham returns to the river city with art punk juggernaut Mesh this Saturday. | COURTESY THE ARTIST

Mesh w/ Haldol, Trauma Harness, Nick G Band

9 p.m. Saturday, August 13. CBGB, 3163 South Grand Boulevard. $10. No phone.

The opening cut on Mesh’s 2021 selftitled EP has landed the Philadelphiabased group on many blogs and playlists since its release, including Henry Rollins’ Fanatic, a landmark punk show that airs every Saturday night on KCRW Santa Monica. The chorus goes “C-I-A … mind control,” and from there the anthemic song digs its hooks in and never lets up until a cathartic stop ends the single with an exclamation mark. Yet that infectiously catchy song is just an intro to a tape that landed on Bandcamp’s Best Punk column on release — no small feat for a band that, at that point, only had a few demos and shows under its belt. A year has passed and Mesh has only built on that early momentum, as made evident by this summer tour through the Midwest, where the band will play with a who’s who of contemporary punk. The St. Louis date is no exception as hometown heroes Trauma Harness will perform hot off the release of two recent albums: Ten Years Of Trauma, put out by Lumpy Records, provides a primer on the local group’s first 10 years as a band with a greatest-hits collection compiled by the brains behind Lumpy & the Dumpers, and Swimming in Plastic is Trauma Harness’ “pandemic” record of sorts, as the 18 tracks within were recorded during COVID-19 lockdown. Don’t Call It a Comeback: This Saturday night is also something of a homecoming for Mesh’s Allison Durham, a St. Louis expat who can be seen rocking a 12-string guitar and providing vocals alongside bandleader and singer Sims Hardin. —Joseph Hess
