Freddy Vs. | VIA ARTIST SPOTIFY

Freddy Vs. Album Release Show w/ Misplaced Religion, Umami

8 p.m. Saturday, October 29. Blueberry Hill Duck Room, 6504 Delmar Boulevard. $15. 314-727-4444.

With the deluge of Halloween-themed shows that go down on an annual basis, it’s easy to get the impression that St. Louis has a deep cultural connection with Hell’s favorite holiday. But what about a band that keeps that spooky vibe alive 365 days a year? Freddy Vs. debuted in the weeks leading up to Halloween 2021 with a set of demos and its first live show, kicking off what has been a busy year of performances across several stages throughout the river city. Sure, one could check out Freddy Vs. on a hot summer night or even later this winter, but seeing the horror-themed rock outfit live during the time of the year that inspired its defining aesthetic will hit so much harder. Freddy Vs. has picked the right time, and the right place, to celebrate the release of its debut album alongside local allies Misplaced Religion and rave powerhouse Umami. Pro tip: Googling “Freddy Vs.” will likely result in a detour that leads straight to Freddy Krueger fan-fiction, and while that might be low-key intentional on the part of the band, be sure to add specific keywords, such as “music” or the name of its fantastic new release The Projectionist. Tastemaker: Labeling Umami as just a DJ severely understates the multifaceted body of work by sound artist and promoter Pajmon Porshahidy. Whether they’re performing as Stevonnie or operating as part of the Materia collective (featuring like-minded artists Nadir Smith and Manapool, among others), Umami brings an essential aesthetic that marries nostalgia with a sound that feels plucked from the distant future.

Too Many Zooz w/ Yam Yam

8 p.m. Tuesday, November 1. O Broadway, 3509 Lemp Avenue. $23. 314-498-6989.

There’s an unfettered confidence that comes with claiming your own genre. Maybe you’ve seen post- or indie- precede any number of musical styles and thought, “Well, what’s the difference?” Yes, defining yourself in the context of pre-existing categories will help connect prospective fans to their preferred sounds, but some artists aim to carve out their own niche. New York City’s Too Many Zooz holds a monopoly on the genre “brass house,” which incorporates aspects of house music with jazz and Afro-Cuban rhythms to vibrant and dizzying results. Chances are you’ve seen the video for “Car Alarm” — which shows the band playing off a blaring car alarm — or one of many vids showing Too Many Zooz tearing it up in the New York subway system. If not, just know that coordinated dancing and an undeniable chemistry between the players is a recipe for viral content. At least one of those videos even reached Beyoncé, who reached out to the band, brought them into the studio and even called on the crew to back up her and the Dixie Chicks at the Country Music Awards in 2016. Great Minds Think Alike: Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, outfit Yam Yam opens the show with a distinct concoction of jazz, funk and soul, with a little jam band exploration thrown into the mix. While the 2021 album Double Dippin’ is a solid place to start, the band’s live album recorded at last year’s Summer Camp Music Festival perfectly captures Yam Yam’s tendency to push boundaries. —Joseph Hess
