Alicia Mestre, Reporter
April 16, 2011
In the rather common genre of post-modern spoofs, it is hard to truly stand out. The original Scream (1996) stood out as a smash hit and was followed by several sequels. While Scream 2 and 3 didn’t leave a lasting impact on me, Scream 4 regenerated the thrill of director Wes Craven’s combination... Read more »

It was March 15 when Ra Ra Riot came back to St. Louis to play at the Firebird. The Firebird itself was small, but a sense of joy filled the venue.
