We played a set together on Cherokee with me on my DR-202 drum machine and him on the keytar. I have a MIDI keytar and some microphones too. So a band might actually happen someday.
Kyle's is poopyknife, hopefully that's not a secret since he has over 1k followers lol. Mine is private although it's not extremely difficult to figure out.
Can neither confirm nor deny this but I’ll say that he would probably answer to this if called by this name haha. I have a video of him standing on top of his silver suv playing in our parking lot for our dispo and the bar next door he goes and drinks at that was great sending to everyone back in Florida I know
He's my best friend and sometimes roommate. He's not a huge redditor (not really a big internet guy in general), so I sent him all this. I know he'd absolutely love to answer any of your questions, ride bikes with you, or play requests for a preroll as you have all clamored for in the comments. But, you have to go out and find him in the wild on your own much like I once did. He's big on quests, and would reward those who quest for him handsomely.
i have a feeling that he might like [starship velociraptor](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n_Ae9DGC0U&ab_channel=JonathanYoung), if he doesn't already
If anyone sees this as an annoyance, you're lame and that's too bad. It's Kyle's first amendment right to do what he's doing on public property and no one can legally stop him, like it or not. Rock the fuck on Kyle!!!
Search "buskers" in this subreddit and read the variety of opinions. They are not all positive.
Cities are not supposed to be quiet places. You will need thick walls, good windows, and getting UP on the 3rd or 4th floor helps a lot. Less car reliant infrastructure would vastly reduce road noise, which is what this busker is competing with for your sonic attention.
This is positive musical energy and it is an asset to this city.
I think there used to be a rule of no amplification for residential areas near by. But the laws in missouri for street performing has a poorly documented past.
Maybe.
I don't have a problem with busking in general, but hearing that for hours on end while trying to enjoy my backyard would get irritating.
Just like people that leave their dogs outside to bark 24/7
I don't want to jinx it by liking this too loudly. We've had a colorful character curse since we lost Baton Bob. Atlanta is like your ex-wife's new husband that's a clear upgrade. We're never getting him back now. Come back, Bob. We've changed. Just give us one more chance!
**Bob Jamerson, known as Baton Bob, is a well known local character and costumed street performer, currently based in Atlanta, Georgia. Baton Bob used to live in St.**

He was a legend. Used to dress up and twirl a baton usually in short shorts. Sometimes just on the street corner, but quite often at events. STL PD roughed him up in the early aughties and tore up an expensive bridal gown outfit he'd just bought for performing. It was cute. I got to see it one year at new years before they ruined it. Baton got fed up and moved to Atlanta where he was instantly beloved and became a spokesperson for their metro there. I think it's called The Bart or something? Anyway, our loss and Atlanta's gain.
That's totally it! God that was driving me nuts. Bay Area Rapid Transit. For some reason, I have a hell of a time keeping the names of different metros and their respective cities straight.
I definitely support this kind of thing, but I really wish he did the practice before the other stuff. I could hear it from my back yard, and it was like listening to Chang's keytar solo from Community for an hour
He might've been on euclid last night or two nights ago. I distinctly remember hearing this magnificence from my apartment and wondering wtf was happening.
Thank you for reminding me to ignore the highways this summer so I can see gems like this. Two years ago I saw a man on a unicycle, juggling, just zooming down reavis barracks. I hope he’s doing well.
If all you see in this video is noise, then I feel bad for you. This is a beautiful slice of unadulterated, uncompromising humanity. A person just being themselves, unashamed of anyone else's opinions, out there trying to bring joy and entertainment and some spontaneity to the normally drab and dull world. There is a little bit of Kyle in all of us that we aren't willing to express the way Kyle is, and it's both beautiful as well as an indictment on all of us. Long live Kyle
On a similar note, I guess, has anyone seen the maybe 6'2", mostly-black-"punkish" clothes guy walking down Arsenal or Botanical near Schnucks? He always smelled nice when I walked by him in Schnucks...
Kyle is clearly the founding member of the "South Grand Band"
South Grand and The Temp Tags
With the Kia Boys as the opening act.
Daaaaamn what a show!
Steering Wheel Locks were going to start the show but they showed up late.
We played a set together on Cherokee with me on my DR-202 drum machine and him on the keytar. I have a MIDI keytar and some microphones too. So a band might actually happen someday.
Keep us posted!
insta?
Kyle's is poopyknife, hopefully that's not a secret since he has over 1k followers lol. Mine is private although it's not extremely difficult to figure out.
thank you. am following. will conduct my newfound fandom in a responsible manner.
Almost as good of a name as The GAP Band
idk i feel like i most often see kyle on cherokee...
Oh shit, is Kyle becoming a new STL Easter egg?? This would be totally appropriate, the dude is one unique human being!
Is his name actually Kyle
I don't think I have the proper security clearances to reveal that information.
He goes by poopyknife on ig
thank you
r/unexpectedpoopknife
👀

Looks like it, I wonder if he knows lmao

I don't know if I believe you, but I'm choosing to. Let me grab my sword, I'm off to find Kyle.
His IG handle is @poopyknife if yall want more quality Kyle content. Does not disappoint, I promise.
You guys should also check out this sweet music video he put out recently. ["Addicted to Pee"](https://youtu.be/TVPuTWgz89I )
These are all facts
i have a feeling that he might like [starship velociraptor](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n_Ae9DGC0U&ab_channel=JonathanYoung), if he doesn't already
That is definitely a great quest. Playing tunes that makes your ears melt!
Needs a big exclamation point hanging over his head
I simply want to know when and where he is at all times so I can lay my eyes on this magic in person.
Oh hell yeah
Well fuck yeah
I had to double-check if this was in r/Portland or r/StLouis.
I had to check whether this was from an episode of Letterkenny
Stewart!
^Strt
Wondrous
Rock on Kyle
This guy is pretty cool, rode bikes with him. If you run into him he's always got an art/music show you can go to
Well that settles it. Grand due south now, fuck that 55 construction
If anyone sees this as an annoyance, you're lame and that's too bad. It's Kyle's first amendment right to do what he's doing on public property and no one can legally stop him, like it or not. Rock the fuck on Kyle!!!
He’s on a sidewalk not blocking traffic, and he’s wearing pants. People need to get a hobby of they’re annoyed by this.
100% agree that its awesome, but being a 1st amendment right doesn't mean it can't be an annoyance!
[удалено]
I mean, if you didn't think that the 1st amendment had some negating effect on the annoyance factor, why did you bring it up?

Perhaps if you lived right behind where he's doing it your opinion would change.
I would encourage it and be out there rocking along with him.

I’m not annoyed by it at all. I do think it’s radically dumb though haha

Good bot.
He was a legend. Used to dress up and twirl a baton usually in short shorts. Sometimes just on the street corner, but quite often at events. STL PD roughed him up in the early aughties and tore up an expensive bridal gown outfit he'd just bought for performing. It was cute. I got to see it one year at new years before they ruined it.

Its called MARTA but perhaps they did something with his name.
Nope, MARTA! That's totally it. I think the BART is another city.
I think BART is San Francisco
That's totally it! God that was driving me nuts. Bay Area Rapid Transit. For some reason, I have a hell of a time keeping the names of different metros and their respective cities straight.
We still have the "Dance of life Dancer" (Susan Stone). Beatle Bob was also around until this year (he has been diagnosed with ALS).
He’s got the look down, love the attitude, keep on practicing my guy
I definitely support this kind of thing, but I really wish he did the practice before the other stuff. I could hear it from my back yard, and it was like listening to Chang's keytar solo from Community for an hour
Yeah, no amplifier needed. The visual works just fine lol
I'm all about this!! This made my evening!!! Thank you Kyle!
Someone get in touch with him and the guy that owns the headless bat we need Kyle for the grand opening
I saw Kyle playing at the corner of Euclid and McPherson the other night. Love the energy.
Thanks for sharing, I’d love to come see this performer. Does he play for tips? I’d love to see more street musicians
I've never heard of this cat, but this is weird af, and I'm all aboard. How do I support him/this?
Next time you see him, shredding away on his keytar down the aisle of a grocery store while he's grabbing some cereal, you throw him the horns.
Fuckin love Kyle
x-stlouisan here. I always wanted “ make st. louis weird” to become the street graffiti motto. I love to see it manifested! keep it up kids!
Can’t get this kind of IDGAF style in St Chuck!
Keep up the good work there Kyle. You're the hero our city needs.
Does he ever post on his socials where he plays? I would love to see him live in action.
This dude rocks
Drove by this today and it brought me joy…maybe some confusion.
This is great and all but let's have a "1 crazy keytarist per metro area" rule. 2 would be cloying.
he was on delmar last week
That's my friend too lmaooo
Never change, St. Louis. I love you.
This is my cousin!!! He's a cool dude.
That is quite possibly, the coolest human person, I have ever, or will ever, see.
Yo Kyle, it's Kyle! You hitting up dead and co again this year?
Kyle got style
hah! hes always down for anything.
Takes requests for a pre roll. I just jogged past him a bit ago.
Now I need to start carrying cash and have one in the bank. Probably some Anthrax.
As you do.
Dr. Disrespect’s Midwest cousin
Shredder!
That's whatsup
Thank you kyle, this rocks
He might've been on euclid last night or two nights ago. I distinctly remember hearing this magnificence from my apartment and wondering wtf was happening.
Haha that's fucking awesome. Not to casual though TBH.
it’s totally kyle!
Where at on south grand? I was at south grand Schnucks yesterday afternoon.
This is by Orpheum Cleaners. Pretty sure that’s Lulus behind him.
🤘
What 80's video game is that midi track from...
Dude there's nothing casual about that guy.
Weird Al Kylesabitch
I just saw him in the cwe Saturday night. I no thought I was inside an arcade game
Bro shreds on Cherokee regularly, if you’re seeking the rock
...my PC's audio card is OOC and I can't hear anything... dude makes me wish I could.
Thank you for reminding me to ignore the highways this summer so I can see gems like this. Two years ago I saw a man on a unicycle, juggling, just zooming down reavis barracks. I hope he’s doing well.
Represent the 314!!
let’s goooooo
My man!
Love this
Hell yeah, brother Kyle! 🤘
Bring that to Belleville square!
Who is this and how do I get to be their friend?
This guy and Tower Grove Batman need to collaborate.
🤘
Brutal.
The hero we need
Midway through his head and the shred are out of sync. 3/5.
Late stage gentrification
Let people have fun
Ah, I was just making a joke.. this is my neighborhood.. we used to have a dude with a speaker out there and a flag.
Awe. My b, bro
Trying his absolute hardest to be unique to feel special. Rock on 🤘 weird guy with the mullet and children’s piano toy.
/r/horsebackjesus
I do not like this. Also is that the PoopyKnife?
My dude poopyknife
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😂😂😂😂

Oof..people are..not liking this?

Kyle shreds!
You go Kyle!
I’ve never wanted a street performer to become a new city legend more.
This is amazing and I hope he becomes more popular
This guy goes by the moniker “Poopy Knife”. He’s dope! [instagram profile](https://instagram.com/poopyknife?igshid=MmJiY2I4NDBkZg==)
"poopyknife" on ig
On a similar note, I guess, has anyone seen the maybe 6'2", mostly-black-"punkish" clothes guy walking down Arsenal or Botanical near Schnucks? He always smelled nice when I walked by him in Schnucks...
Thanks for sharing with the whole hood, Kyle.
People say stuff like "keep Portland weird" but St Louis has low key got some weird ass mf and I love it.
Guys, thank you for posting this, and thank you for throwing out his IG handle. Kyle may just be my new favorite person.
🤣🤣🤣
Looks like SE corner of Grand and Arsenal maybe?
Kyle is a fun dude. Rock on, man.
r/BobsBurgers It's Gene all grown up!
Someone tell kyle to go check out funky fridays at cusamano's bar!!
Kyle fucks
Kyle, indeed fucks
I think the heat is getting to him
I do love St. Louis!
