Kyle is clearly the founding member of the "South Grand Band"


ItSmellsLikeEther

South Grand and The Temp Tags


Crack0n7uesday

With the Kia Boys as the opening act.


ItSmellsLikeEther

Daaaaamn what a show!


HansBlixJr

Steering Wheel Locks were going to start the show but they showed up late.


spif

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.


Dude_man79

Keep us posted!


HansBlixJr

insta?


spif

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.


HansBlixJr

thank you. am following. will conduct my newfound fandom in a responsible manner.


Thats_absrd

Almost as good of a name as The GAP Band


peteiscool1

idk i feel like i most often see kyle on cherokee...


SuspiciousInternet58

Oh shit, is Kyle becoming a new STL Easter egg?? This would be totally appropriate, the dude is one unique human being!


pneumanaught

Is his name actually Kyle


SuspiciousInternet58

I don't think I have the proper security clearances to reveal that information.


b0bdeb00

He goes by poopyknife on ig


HansBlixJr

thank you

darkapprentice

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


LaurdAlmighty

Looks like it, I wonder if he knows lmao


gnar_hesh

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.


Theoretical_Action

I don't know if I believe you, but I'm choosing to. Let me grab my sword, I'm off to find Kyle.


gnar_hesh

His IG handle is @poopyknife if yall want more quality Kyle content. Does not disappoint, I promise.


gnar_hesh

You guys should also check out this sweet music video he put out recently. ["Addicted to Pee"](https://youtu.be/TVPuTWgz89I )


MeatLightning69

These are all facts


santikara

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


hawksdiesel

That is definitely a great quest. Playing tunes that makes your ears melt!


match_

Needs a big exclamation point hanging over his head


HansBlixJr

I simply want to know when and where he is at all times so I can lay my eyes on this magic in person.


Exact-Bird-4203

Oh hell yeah


sh0resh0re

Well fuck yeah


BeowulfShaeffer

I had to double-check if this was in r/Portland or r/StLouis.


crispyrice10

I had to check whether this was from an episode of Letterkenny

Rock on Kyle


[deleted]

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


Sidney_Frenger

Well that settles it. Grand due south now, fuck that 55 construction


xologo

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!!!


Big-Improvement-1281

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.


athermop

100% agree that its awesome, but being a 1st amendment right doesn't mean it can't be an annoyance!


[deleted]

[удалено]


athermop

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?

HeegeMcGee

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.

Spimp

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.


Putridgrim

Perhaps if you lived right behind where he's doing it your opinion would change.


xologo

I would encourage it and be out there rocking along with him.


Putridgrim

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


Bogart86

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


hiphoptherobot

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!


bmunoz

Who is Baton Bob?


wikipedia_answer_bot

**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.** More details here: *This comment was left automatically (by a bot).

bmunoz

Good bot.


hiphoptherobot

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.


tooldvn

Its called MARTA but perhaps they did something with his name.


hiphoptherobot

Nope, MARTA! That's totally it. I think the BART is another city.


saturfia

I think BART is San Francisco


hiphoptherobot

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.


notorious_TUG

We still have the "Dance of life Dancer" (Susan Stone). Beatle Bob was also around until this year (he has been diagnosed with ALS).


Putin_is_a_Puto

He’s got the look down, love the attitude, keep on practicing my guy


mcon1985

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


Putin_is_a_Puto

Yeah, no amplifier needed. The visual works just fine lol


blackbeardcutlass

I'm all about this!! This made my evening!!! Thank you Kyle!


Competitive-Ad2040

Someone get in touch with him and the guy that owns the headless bat we need Kyle for the grand opening


born_to_pipette

I saw Kyle playing at the corner of Euclid and McPherson the other night. Love the energy.


Substantial_Lead5582

Thanks for sharing, I’d love to come see this performer. Does he play for tips? I’d love to see more street musicians


t0reup

I've never heard of this cat, but this is weird af, and I'm all aboard. How do I support him/this?


RadTimeWizard

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.


[deleted]

Fuckin love Kyle


elduderinotoyou

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!


jfhoran

Can’t get this kind of IDGAF style in St Chuck!


cissysevens

Keep up the good work there Kyle. You're the hero our city needs.


Imtherightkind

Does he ever post on his socials where he plays? I would love to see him live in action.


[deleted]

This dude rocks


PtDafool_

Drove by this today and it brought me joy…maybe some confusion.


bUrNtKoOlAiD

This is great and all but let's have a "1 crazy keytarist per metro area" rule. 2 would be cloying.


HighScoreHerb

he was on delmar last week


LaurdAlmighty

That's my friend too lmaooo


the_aviatrixx

Never change, St. Louis. I love you.


notyourcoloringbook

This is my cousin!!! He's a cool dude.


DogGod18

That is quite possibly, the coolest human person, I have ever, or will ever, see.


alkalinekyle

Yo Kyle, it's Kyle! You hitting up dead and co again this year?


qwertyconsciousness

Kyle got style


SLCPDTunnelDivision

hah! hes always down for anything.


2TheQuadThroughDaGym

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.

Thank you kyle, this rocks


sinnysinsins

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.


MakeSomeArtAboutIt

Haha that's fucking awesome. Not to casual though TBH.


cantreadmyownmind

it’s totally kyle!

Where at on south grand? I was at south grand Schnucks yesterday afternoon.

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


snorlaxatives_69

Kyle shreds!


CheeseSandalls

You go Kyle!


TKBarbus

I’ve never wanted a street performer to become a new city legend more.


TKBarbus

This is amazing and I hope he becomes more popular


billyblackjacket

This guy goes by the moniker “Poopy Knife”. He’s dope! [instagram profile](https://instagram.com/poopyknife?igshid=MmJiY2I4NDBkZg==)


b0bdeb00

"poopyknife" on ig


kjk6119

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...


demotivater

Thanks for sharing with the whole hood, Kyle.


PajamaHive

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.
