Potty Mouth is an indie, pop-punk sensation that is hot off of the success of their self-titled EP and is unrelenting. Their sound has a fresh and unique twist to it and are coming into a sound all of their own. While they have already begun recording their second album they needed a break from it all and decided to hit the road again and are bringing some friends with them. Party Baby and Tennis System are touring North America now. They will be stopping in our region at The Record Bar in Kansas City, MO. on 2/21 and also at Schubas Tavern in Chicago, Illinois on 2/24. Both are 18 and up shows with a valid government ID and start at 8:00 pm. Below is their latest video which features their latest single "Smash Hit" followed by more of their tunes and also music from the touring bands along side of them.

The purpose of the International Institute is to be the St. Louis region’s welcoming center for refugees and immigrants. This year the Institute resettled more than 1,000 refugees from Syria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Somalia, Iraq, and many other countries, all of whom had endured trauma and hardship and must now begin again. With support from the community, the Institute is there for refugees and immigrants for everything from English classes, job training & placement, and health services, to counseling, interpretation & translation, and small business assistance. With these services, the Institute works to fulfill its mission of helping immigrants and their families be productive Americans and championing ethnic diversity as a cultural and economic strength.
