WATCH: St. Pete Beat No. 35 (Feat. Oliver & Co.)
If you couldn’t tell by the exhaustive post we published a couple of weeks ago, we love St. Pete Beat. The music video series pulled a false-death, which had us in a tussle, but since then they’ve kicked back up to once again produce videos at a steady clip (all whilst working on a full-length documentary mind you). The latest edition of the video series finds Oliver & Company at Bar Milo working through a racously joyous cut with... Read More
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

WATCH: St. Pete Beat No. 31 (Feat. Jane Jane Pollock at Ramblin’ Rosie’s 1-year anniversary)
Celebrating anniversaries is fun. Believe us. Last weekend, the good people at St. Petersburg, Fla.’s Ramblin’ Rose Upcycle celebrated their first year on The 600 Block by hosting quite the soiree (you can’t say we didn’t tell you about it). On hand to help then commemorate the occasion were scores of devoted locals and a handful of talented musicians including Jane Jane Pollock who had a portion of their performance captured...

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...
