City Museum, 7 p.m.-midnight

It’s back and badder than ever: Midwest Mayhem at the City Museum, May 13, 2010. Make room for the dancers, get down with the DJs, enjoy food, drink, and 12 bands on four stages, but most importantly, do not miss it. Become a member of 88.1, and get 2 tickets to this party to end all parties.

Now in its fifth year, Midwest Mayhem is KDHX’s annual spring membership party. The event takes place inside the City Museum, a 600,000 square-foot building in downtown Saint Louis, a space previously known as the International Shoe Company. Christened in 1997, the City Museum is part family playground, part infinite cavern, part psychedelic circus and part ever-evolving architectural spectacle. It’s the Eighth Wonder of the Urban World, and the perfect setting for a night of music, mirth and mayhem.

Admission is free for all KDHX members, and only $15 for non-members. Help support community radio by purchasing tickets to this fine event.
