Tickets? Tickets? Get your tickets. Our heads are virtually spinning with the amount of awesome shows that are coming our way in April. The well-knowns like Morrisey and Taylor Swift coming out to St. Louis to play, but there are also a couple of lesser known bands who are worth the tickets price that should be taken into serious consideration.

The Ting Tings are playing at The Pageant on April 3. The show was originally scheduled for one of Blueberry Hill's rooms, but due to the overwhelming response they moved up the street to larger performance quarters.

The Ting Tings are an alt-pop duo from the UK who have been gaining traction around the globe since they have taken their incredibly catchy and peppy songs on the road. You can check out the video for their track, "Shut Up and Let Me Go," by visiting the Ting Ting's TV channel on YouTube.

The Pageant is also the venue for another band coming to the 'Lou that is worthy of your concert goer consideration.

Blue October's latest release, Approaching Normal is due out Tuesday, March 24 and the highly anticipated release from this progressive rock band from Texas is already creating a buzz. They are appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live Wednesday, March 25 and they are rolling into St. Louis on April 5.

Blue October has always demonstrated a huge range in musical sound but maintained that progressive edge with each single and album. Their new album promises to again push the band's boundaries (keep your eyes peeled for a review here on ToastedRav.com), and they are one of those rare bands that sound great in the studio but even better live. You can check out the video for the single "Dirt Room" from their upcoming CD Approaching Normal by clicking on the Video tab.

There are still tickets remaining for both of these upcoming shows, and I would highly recommend snapping up a pair for yourself. You can get tickets at The Pageant box office after 5pm any day the venue has a show, or through Ticketmaster.com.
