WATCH & ENJOY: Every St. Pete Beat video ever
…ever published on Vimeo that is. Some time ago, we thought that St. Pete Beat would be no more (forgive us, we can’t find internet evidence anymore), so we emailed the film series’ creator — Ryan Zarra — for a few answers. “As for the sessions,” Zarra wrote in an email from early November, “I just feel like it’s time for a good closing. I want to focus more on documentaries and films in the future... Read More

Alexander Charos fronts Alexander & The Grapes at Crowbar in Ybor City, Fla. on June 23, 2012. | Photo by: Nicole Kibert © There’s a point during Alexander & The Grapes’ “Salesman” where frontman Alexander Charos begs listeners to, “Get your ass off the computer and do something with your life.” One glance across the crowded room at the Crowbar in Ybor City, Fla. on Saturday is all anyone needed to be assured that the point is...

WATCH: The Happiness Machine at Crowbar 06.23.12
There are benefits to posting live reviews almost a week late (actually there aren’t), and one of those is having the interwebs give you cool videos to post online, and while our great pals at St. Pete Beat almost immediately gave us a couple clips from Alexander & The Grapes’ album release show at Crowbar, our late-ness has allowed to post not one, but two awesome videos of The Happiness Machine doing the damn thing during their...

WATCH: St. Pete Beat No. 24 (Feat. Cole Sullivan)
According to its official website, the Sunshine City — aka St. Petersburg, Fla. — is home to just under 245,000 people, which makes it the fourth largest city in Florida. Ryan Zarra, who — along with Ryan Grosjean — spearheads the St. Pete Beat music video series, seems driven to mine those 250K souls and find the most creative ones then shine a light on them. Just when you think he can’t possibly find another musician... Read More
WATCH: St. Pete Beat No. 23 (Feat. The Black Roses)
What’s better than a rock and roll couple completely steaming up a room with just an electric guitar and drums? Having a nude dude sitting atop of someone’s guitar cabinet while it’s all going down, that’s what. Hello Black Roses. If you’re completely lost at this point (or pissed that your weren’t there), then you don’t have us to blame. We’ve been singing high praise for the St. Pete Beat music... Read More
WATCH: St. Pete Beat No. 21 + 22 (Feat. Bad Juju + Matt Also Adam)
Okay, we admit. We got a little behind of the last couple of St. Pete Beat sessions, but hey life’s a bitch sometimes. So while the last two videos may be a bit dated as far as the internet age goes, we simple don’t give a rat’s ass because the clips are still as awesome as ever. SPB No. 21 features Bad Juju/Good Mojo — who are two “a-holes” (their words, not ours) — playing an almost Johnny Cash-esque... Read More
