LouFest is only 4 days away! I remember drooling over the lineup after the big announcement like it was yesterday. Now that LouFest is finally upon us and Forest Park is about to erupt in music I think it's time to preview a few of the bands that will be gracing the stage this weekend. Hailing from Asheville, North Carolina Stephaniesid describes itself [...]
So Friday night I got to go to Hub Bub in Spartanburg, SC for the 3rd time and I have to say I love this place. Hub Bub is a non profit venue which seeks to bring art and culture to a city that has been sorely lacking it. Check them out at Hub-Bub.com I went to see Stephanie's id and Heypenny. Both bands have managed to generate a good bit of buzz, but based on the write ups and Myspace

Happy Friday everyone! We've got lots of music for you, let's kick this off with Stephaniesid ! From what I've collected, they hail from Asheville, NC and they alter line-ups from time to time and tour to tour. I love Stephanie's vocals on tracks like The Weakling which give me flashbacks of Bjork singing on a pop record. Lots of instruments and lots of layers are packed into the new Warm People album, horn sections throughout are my fav. It's a beautiful album from beginning to end. Warm People will [...]
After a three week hiatus, The Sunday Spotlight it back, this time with a MISB favorite from last year, Saint Bernadette ., who released their debut album In the Ballroom in October (read about it here ). Instead of recording in the ballroom this time though, the pair has chose a more traditional studio located in the same town to put together the five tracks on the EP. The first track ( In Between ) feels like it could be a track that was dropped from the album. It's got that smooth jazzy [...]
