As I've settled in to my new home in Bloomington , Indiana, I've been getting to know who the local artists are, going to shows, and sitting down with people involved in the local music scene. According to Andy Goheen ( Sticky and the Bees , E.P. Hall ) who organizes shows for The Bishop , Bloomington has over 500 bands. Shortly after moving here Nicole O'Neal ( Hipster Spinster ) asked me to co-host a radio show with her. We decided to call it [...]

The new Kentucky Nightmare meditated together in the spring of 2005, mixed their blood in a crucible, bicycled to Nashville, Indiana to buy belt buckles and knick-knacks, came back, set the blood on fire, and waited to see what would happen. The results were unanimously satisfactory. The band was rocking more melodic, clever, and crafty songs. The 3-part harmonies rose to meed the clouds & taunt them with their cuteness. This unit got much more serious-mastering their sound, practicing diligently, playing on the road, playing more shows in town, drinking. They were included on the 2007 Live from [...]

Sometimes I can just jump right into a story and go, and other times, I stare at the ceiling, tapping keys just to tap them, hoping, waiting for something solid. I did that for a few hours today, and then I just decided to post what I had. Hope you guys enjoy! Also, if anyone has any suggestions on free hosting of songs, please let me know. Zshare is porn-ridden, Yousendit expires in half a day and I dislike Rapidshare so much I would fight it if I saw it in person. Today we try Boxster. [...]

A new tune form Kentucky Nightmare that I am currently enamored with is "Caroline & I" from the new release "Take Her Favour". I hope you will enjoy it as well. I also think I like them because of the description of the creating process of the album as such: After excruciatingly enjoyable sessions at Mike Bridavsky's Russian Recording, as well as the mind-bogglingly joyful experience of signing with Standard Recording Co., Kentucky Nightmare are ready to release their second effort, *Take Her Favour*, to the world. They are currently playing out as much as possible, [...]
It's only Tuesday, but you need to start planning your weekend now. Those Darlins , one of the outstanding bands that played our Americana Music Association Festival and Conference show this past September in Nashville, TN , are playing Radio Radio, this Friday night, for only $5! They'll be joined by Kentucky Nightmare and Dorsey. Our friends at Tugboat Productions in Nashville, Tennessee sent us a couple pretty great videos from the Darlins' recent in-store performance at Grimey's [...]

Bloomington, IN Kentucky Nightmare didn't get their name from their state since they actually reside in Indiana. It comes from an episode of the animated spoof talk show Space Ghost Coast To Coast . The band's second release, Take Her Favour , is available now. "Let's Get In Love" Kentucky Nightmare on MySpace Kentucky Nightmare on The Hype Machine

In the wake of the University of Kentucky basketball team's humiliating defeat at the hands of Gardner-Webb last night, I thought this was an aptly named band to feature... At first I thought, like MOKB, Kentucky Nightmare had some kind of an identity/location crisis. The band is actually based in Bloomington, Indiana, so I didn't know if they were saying they were a nightmare for Kentucky or, like, nightmare badasses representing Kentucky - even though [...]
