Remember when we told you about that cool new guitar exhibit at the Louisville Science Center? Well, they are having a spring concert series as part of the exhibit! Some great Louisville bands will be performing, and we are sorry we missed one of them last week. Apologies, Kri and Hettie. You should definitely check it out, it's a cool exhibit, great bands, fun times. Lineup is below, and a terrible first attempt poster I made featuring a photo of one of the guitars in the exhibit. I'd show you more photos of the exhibit, but that would ruin the [...]
It's a rather thin week for new releases, most likely because it's too late for summer releases, and too early for fall releases. Still, there are definitely releases we recommend, including new albums from Peter Wolf Crier, Gold Beach, Wiretree, Balmorehea, and many others. What can we say about Peter Wolf Crier that hasn't already [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

Shimmy Shimmy Dang Tour dates: August 3 – MOTR Pub – Cincinnati, OH September 9 – Headliners – Louisville, KY September 29 – The Vollrath – Indianapolis, IN September 30 – The Brass Rail – Fort Wayne, IN October 15 – Lemmons – St. Louis, MO [...]

All hail the 2-minute rock song! At a moment in musical history when bands are trotting out 70+ minute magnum opi, it's great to see a band that understands the power of getting straight to the heart of the matter. No one is ever going to confuse The Ladybirds with a neo-prog act, but they may accuse the Louisville quint of a slew of other offenses, including inciting riots and wrecking homes with their brand of classic rock-n-roll. And don't misunderstand. I'm not talking bloated solos and lighter-waving anthems, but rather [...]

OK. I have to admit that I'm not fully sold on the whole 'This Is My..' nonsense, but 80Kidz are standing firm on it, so I will just ignore the fact that 'This Is My Works' may not be a good name for a remix album, but it will probably be a good one. It's out December 16th in Japan on KSR . No tracklisting yet, but it'll hopefully contain their new remixes of Metric & Fight Like Apes (very good) and their 'didn't meet the deadline' remix of Simian Mobile Disco. I also hope [...]
