Kopecky is a band that you might originally recognize as Kopecky Family Band. 2015, however, brought about some modifications, as the Nashville band felt the need for some brevity and simplicity, thus the new moniker. With the name change also came a new album, Drug For the Modern Age, which definitely played to their previous success, … More The Live Music Lou Weekly Preview: Kopecky
Nichole, the self proclaimed former “emo kid,” said this show allowed her to relive her high school persona. It is hard for me to dispute that. Yellowcard was that band that made you feel punk and edgy without really fully committing. New Found Glory took you a little further down that twisty road, but definitely were … More Don’t judge- we were THOSE kids.
I sat in a stupor on the edge of my seat, not sure what exactly to focus on. It is perplexing to think about how Sufjan Stevens creates his music. His voice and picking are signatures for many of his commercially successful songs (and are huge pieces of his latest album, Carrie and Lowell). The combination … More So much more than that “Hotline Bling”
After watching The Wood Brothers at Headliners a couple of weeks ago, there are a couple of things about the band that are quite striking. Chris Wood plays the upright bass, bass and harmonica with unmatched expertise, and equal parts fervor and gentility. It is hard to fully picture, but the man did it. The unconventional … More The Wood Brothers’ satisfying synthesis

We’d heard Son Little‘s “The River” on WFPK countless times, and I knew he had a new album, but other than that I went into this Zbar, Thursday night show with few preconceptions. What I discovered was a very multi-layered artists that covers so many genres and styles of music, that it is impossible not … More Absolutely delicious.
At first glance, we thought this week was going to be pretty light. Wrong. Considering how close we are to Thanksgiving break, there is really no excuse to not go hard. Check back here later for photos and reviews. Sunday (11/15) – Lights and The Mowgli’s This co-headlining stop at Mercury Ballroom will make you … More Live Music Lou’s Can’t Miss: November 15-21
The November Communion show is just around the corner, so why not share our highlights from the previous month’s edition? We always enjoy these shows and take pride in knowing that one day, when these bands are household names, we can say, “We saw them in the comfort of Zanzabar, first!” The Hart Strings These … More Communion: Where we can say we saw them first
It has become quite customary that I end up nearly as sweaty as The Lone Bellow‘s Brian Elmquist and Zach Williams at the end of a TLB show. I can’t help myself from screeching along to every song, jumping about all ‘nimbly-bimbly” AKA a hot damn mess. We’ve expressed how much we love their live … More The Lone Bellow “factor”
