Over the past two years, I Went to a Show.com has spent a great many very happy hours watching live music in the city of St. Louis.

We met some of our artistic idols as they toured through our town. We watched as local bands created bodies of work that surprised and delighted fans here and everywhere. We slept too little and at times had too much fun (read: booze). We encouraged friends and strangers to support musicians in the most direct way possible – attending shows and buying music from the artists directly.

In celebration of another year of existence and mild thriving on the Internet, IWTAS has paired with the fine young men of Pretty Little Empire to put on a show at Off Broadway on May 5th (aka Cinco de Mayo. Boom.) along with Scarlet Tanager and Thankful Tree. 

The cost for the event is 10 bucks, and most of that cash will go towards funding Pretty Little Empire’s new album. We can’t think of a better way to spend our birthday/anniversary than to support a talented band that’s representing the St. Louis scene so well.

Check back often – we’ll be giving away prize packs, maybe a pinata (just thought of that one so be cool), tickets, and all manner of goodies in the coming weeks. Mostly we just want to hang out with you.
