In St. Louis, where classic rock is king, legacy acts regularly fill our amphitheaters, arenas and stadiums, although those shows tend to come from the kinds of devil-horned KSHE-approved guitar-slinging acts that dominated ’70s and ’80s arena rawk. Lately, though, the nostalgic stock has been rising for a different classic-rock phylum: the synthy new-wavey Second British Invasion bands of the MTV era.

EDWARDSVILLE - A man, a horse and a dog paused their cross-country travels for a fundraiser this weekend at Triangle H Farms. The trio, known as the Three Amigos, have walked across the U.S. twice to raise awareness about PTSD in veterans. This weekend’s fundraiser benefited The Righteous Life Rescue Ranch, an organization that will connect veterans with rescued mustang horses and dogs. “There’s a lot of animals that need to be rescued out there,” Matt Perella, who leads the Three Amigos, said. “And most importantly, there’s a lot of veterans that need to be rescued out there, as well.” Perella is a former U.S. Marine and the founder of The Righteous Life Rescue Ranch.
