Thursday’s are the new Friday. Both my emotional state and event calendar seem to be matching this sentiment. We’ve had a couple pretty big Thursday’s since the new year and I expect this trend to continue. We went into the night with a lofty goal of hitting three separate shows across the city, including stops … More It’s a three-show kind of night
Fowlerfest 2015. Steve Fowler, you must be one pretty cool dude to not only have a night dedicated to you at Zanzabar, but to have Frederick the Younger, Spirit Animal, and Kaleidico all play for you. We haven’t actually met you yet in person, but when we do, we’re hoping we can absorb some of that … More Life goals: Our faces on balloons and shows just for us. Fowlerfest 2015.
Shovels & Rope might as well relocate from their beloved Charleston to Louisville. The duo has been here three times in the past five months, twice since the new year, and they’ll be back for Forecastle in July. Our city has definitely opened its arms to this lovely couple as Headliners welcomed them back on Wednesday for … More Back again, Shovels & Rope sells out Headliners
We saw them from afar at Shaky Knees last year. Food and a seat drew us away from the main scene for a little while in the middle of that Saturday afternoon. Still, as Cold War Kids took one of the smaller stages, the crowd was large, rowdy, and very into them. Mercury Ballroom offered a more … More Another return to the Ville for Cold War Kids
Our excitement started last May when we bought the tickets on a whim after seeing a friend post about the event on Facebook. I hadn’t heard any other news about it earlier (odd, right?), but sure enough, it was confirmed that Ben Folds was coming to Louisville and would be performing with the Louisville Orchestra. … More Ben Folds and the Louisville Orchestra make magic together
Normally we’re able to sneak around through the cracks in the crowd to get a front or second row spot at Zanzabar. The Field Report and Bahamas show last weekend proved otherwise though, as everyone in the sold out crowd wanted to be as close to stage as possible. Few opening bands that we’ve seen … More Sweetly serenaded by Bahamas and Field Report
Do502 teamed up with WFPK and Leo Weekly as well as Louisville’s top notch local music venues (Mercury Ballroom, Headliners Music Hall, Zanzabar and The New Vintage) to put on an inaugural Free Week. Starting January 27th with a kick off party at Haymarket Whiskey Bar, local music fans were able to check out established … More #FreeWeekLou takes over the city’s music scene
Joe Henry rounded out our epic week of shows last Tuesday night at Headliners. Honestly, we probably would have sat this one out if we didn’t have the frequent flyer pass, but having it means there is no excuse not to go. Accompanied with a clarinet/saxophone player, who just so happens to be his son … More Story time with Joe Henry and his guitar
We had been planning to go all along, but then we found out Twin Limb was going to be there, so we were 100% in. And then we only caught the last two songs since Zbar has been on its game lately as far as starting things on time. We’ll get you next time, ladies. … More Landlady brings just the right amount of crazy
Night 5 of the 6 shows in 7 days stretch had us viewing Bully and Strand of Oaks at Zanzabar. Unlike Headliners, the doorman isn’t overtly recognizing us, so that has now become my personal mission. (addendum: this may have been accomplished this weekend- Vern and I are working on this first name basis thing). … More Strand of Oaks- Another Hoosier who likes Louisville
