Last Saturday we went to the album release show for Wax Fang; for those who made it out, you know it was a great show. From Lucky Pineapple's high energy opening set to Centipede E'est (Scott Carney's pals from his second home, Pittsburg) rocking the foreign crowd ultimately leading to Wax Fang's brilliant set. Lucky Pineapple has recently lost David Cundiff as bassist, and swiftly added Aaron Hodge (of Louisville bands Wino, Mr. Panic Button, WEAPONS, and most recently The Radium Screen ) to their lineup. This was the first time [...]

Saturday Night Dr. Dog returns to Louisville to play Phoenix Hill . Tickets are 15 bux at the door 21 and over, 8pm. Here is a good article about a Dr. Dog MMJ connection from the CJ. "My Morning Jacket had a huge impact on us, a colossal impact," Dr. Dog - The Man In Me (From Lebowski Fest)
4th Street Live may suck for music (unless you really dig on some bad 80s stuff). But Every Friday night this November it might not be so bad. Each friday night local bands will be playing for free. This Friday November 2nd features Your Black Star , Follow The Train and The Fervor . Show starts at 7pm. [...]
37: First things first, the new album is called "La La Land" and in the latest issue of Bejeezus we received a CD with a Wax Fang song entitled California. Any special reasons for the California connection? s/c: The connection is purely coincidence. 'California' was a song I'd written while still in film school about my frustrations with the film industry and the Grand Delusion of Hollywood as 'Land of Opportunity'. Hillary (Hanson, editor of Bejeezus) had asked us to contribute something and it just so happened that that particular recording, which [...]
Hey Louisvillians, we have a special treat this coming Wednesday. Ungdomskulen , a Norwegian band is touring the US for their first time and making Louisville one of their few dates. A three piece that has been compared to the Melvins , Death from Above and Q and Not U . Don't let other bands speak for them though, get out and let their quirky, jazz-heavy rock speak for itself. They will be playing a free show at Ear-xtacy at 5pm and at the Pour Haus at 8pm with The Photographic ; a pretty [...]
Our local news stations really are evil. They are purposely trying to scare the shit out of the viewers to increase ratings. I'm sure every news man in town had to sit down to conceal their excitement when they heard about the storms approaching. Do we really need 8 hour coverage of these radar screens? Really, what is the point? We already have the Weather Channel. We already have sirens that go off in each town when The National Weather Service deems necessary. We also have the Emergency Broadcast System which comes across every channel. Not only that [...]
Quick little post to get you guys some photographs and mp3s of Murals kick ass performance at the Rudyard almost a week ago. Sorry to keep everyone waiting, while I don't mind paying for a place to host pictures, I like to find free places for music files. I only have one more thing to say and that is there were far too few people at the show, these guys need to be playing to packed rooms, people will learn soon enough I guess. Show me more pictures!! [...]
Round about 7 years ago this awesome, awesome cat named John King had a vision to start a unique compilation CD to showcase the bands of Louisville, as well as his own band Team Totoro . He called it "Louisville is for Lovers" and it is now working on it's 8th (due out Valentine's Day, 2008). As if that wasn't enough, John has organized the reissue of the original Misfits cover album from 1994, "Louisville Babylon" and in just 9 more days, its spawn, "Louisville Babylon 2." The cds will be hand packaged [...]
It's been a few months since seeing the Murals play and that is a few months too long. If you haven't heard from these guys, come out and give them a listen tomorrow at the beautiful Rudyard Kipling at 9:30. A band that simply goes by the moniker "Goat" from the NYC will also play a set. These guys are playing out more and more but this promises to be a good gig for sure!
Headliners Music Hall is quickly becoming communist China about enforcing rules now as well. I was escorted out just as VHS or Beta took the stage and directed not to bring my camera back in. I was told that the band didn't allow photography unless you have a press pass. So much for amateur photography... sellouts. BOOOOOOOO! FRANCES DEMANGE/GAMMA FOR TIME
November 17th 2007 There will be a listening party held at Vernon Lanes on Oct 30th. I would assume the CD will be for sale to those who attend.

I started my evening off at the Outlook Inn down on Baxter directly behind the west stage with some yummy brews (Thanks for the hospitality, Outlook). I sat out on the street just next to the band as they had their pre-set drinks. Cabin took the stage a little after 7pm and didn't release us until shortly before 8. With a few tracks from their current EP, some from their full length "Govern the Good Life" and a few new/unknown to me, they played nearly an hour. The warmth that is Cabin wrapped [...]
If you missed the Original Highlands Music Festival this past Saturday, you missed a super friendly atmosphere of a couple thousand folks that spent the day getting faces painted and enjoying a drink or two. This stretch of two blocks literally felt like a warm hug! With the threat of rain looming, the sky never opened up for much longer than to let a few stray drops through here and there. We were there to catch the final few performances. I managed to get a damned good recording of Cabin's and Wax Fang's set [...]
