Spookie Daly Pride delivers high-energy, joyful hip-hop-infused roots rock with deep, soulful grooves and catchy, hook-filled songs. Their uplifting, ever-evolving live show is laced with fearless improvisation and truly defies comparisons. The band—led by Spookie himself—quickly developed a massive following of fans whose devotion to the band and willingness to be organized has helped them tear the roof off of clubs, colleges and festivals, often packing the house first time into a market based on word of mouth alone. Their live shows have been described by novices as “simply mind-blowing,” and their exponential growth rate is a testament to that description.
Pepperland | with the release of the The Beatles: Rock Band, video gamers will have a chance to strap on a replica Rickenbacker and take a turn as one of the Fab Four. Of course, devotees have been donning Beatle boots and mop-top wigs for some time -- and the continued success of tribute acts like Rain and 1964:The Tribute underscores the band’s staying power. Naturally, St. Louis has its own Beatles cover Band Pepperland, an offshoot of the popular jam band Madahoochi. And while the four blokes and one bird in the quintet don’t dress up in Nehru jackets, they perform the Beatles songbook with a bluesy energy instead of slavish devotion. The band favors the post-Rubber Soul albums, so don’t be surprised if Pepperland rips through side two of Abbey Roadin one fell swoop.
