Even though we are getting back into the school year groove this week, our social calendar appears to still be in summer mode. No complaints there. Join us out and check back here for photos or reviews!
Sunday (7/31) –
Yip Deceiver, Ed Monk, Soft Self Portraits
Sundays at Zbar are proving to be the hot thing to do. Tonight, former of Montreal members Davey + Dobby take over with their project Yip Deceiver to wrap up the weekend and the month.
Monday (8/1) –
Pretty much what it sounds like. Check out the sunset over the river (always picture-worthy) and make/fly kites to the sounds of WUOL.
The Palmer Squares, Phorensicz, Daw$on
Chicago hip-hop duo The Palmer Squares are in the middle of their summer tour. Planet of the Shapes, released in May of this year, hit the tops of Bandcamp hip-hop charts – get out and enjoy.
Tuesday (8/2) –
I don’t know if you’ve heard, but your hometown homies, MMJ will be the backing band for Ray. I think there may be a few more tickets available for this Palace show, but nab them quickly as I’m sure it will sell out by Tuesday.
Wednesday (8/3) –
Lake Street Dive, Aoife O’Donovan
Two Wednesdays in a row we’ve had excellent shows. You won’t want to miss a single second of either act.
Thursday (8/4) –
If you’re able to spend your lunch break downtown at Louisville Metro Hall, we’re jealous of you.
Anders Osborne, Oliver John-Rodgers
We were pretty stoked when we got the Headliners email announcing Anders Osborne. Don’t worry about the fact that this is the ? th night in a row you’ve gone out to a show – we’re on the same page and it’s glorious.
Beats & Eats: “Nochevieja En August,” Berchules, Spain New Year
YUM.
Friday (8/5) –
NuLu Hits the High Notes – Passport Party
Pick up a passport early and get it stamped at the 6 locations for the chance to win some swag while celebrating KY Opera’s 65th anniversary.
It’s difficult to resist Jeremy Earl’s falsetto.
You know you’re intrigued. Plus you can win tickets from Do502.
The Nashville dudes of Fly Golden Eagle have been to town a couple of times in the past year or so but for festivals. Catching a full, New Vintage set will be tight.
Saturday (8/6) –
If EDM is your thing, then this should be fun. Honestly, none of the names on this bill ring a bell but dancing is always a winner.
Umphrey’s McGee, The Main Squeeze
Umphrey’s McGee is back at the Iroquois Amphitheater. UM’s light performance and fun, upbeat jamming are hard to beat.
This is a reschedule from earlier this year and we’re glad that Bob Schneider is back to make up for that missed date.
Inner Space Album Release Show
Eons D and Jordan Jetson are celebrating and sharing their latest collaboration at Galaxie’s outerSPACE. Special guests have been promised.
