New York based, true party band, Spirit Animal impressed a small but willing crowd at Haymarket Whiskey Bar last night. The bands’ well designed and expertly crafted hard to describe, pop-funk-rock sound was incredibly entertaining as was their epic dance moves. Lead singer Steve Cooper is a sight to see- his overt charisma could woo any … More Spirit Animal sneaks into Louisville and makes a raucous
We’ve mentioned Waterfront and Winter Wednesday before, but I really can’t say enough times how awesome it is to have such a great public radio station that puts on concerts like these. And since a lot of funding comes from supporting members, it really is comforting to know that so many people in our little … More We saw them first – December’s Winter Wednesday
Saturday was a full day for live music in Louisville, which meant we had a packed schedule. Do502 once again was killing it with a special show with Olivia Jean. The Nashville based band made its Louisville debut at the brand new Bermuda Highway Boutique (which hosted its first live show.) The crowd was small, … More A Louisville kind of Saturday
I caught a glimpse of Steelism at the July Waterfront Wednesday this year as they opened up for Ben Sollee, but as you all know by now, timing can be a bit of an issue, so I wasn’t able to see them play a full set. We made up for that this past Friday, thanks … More Steelism delivers instrumental set at Zbar
Every so often, I will hear a song on WFPK that immediately catches my attention and becomes an obsession for a couple of days. A few examples: “Change” by Banks, “Since Last Wednesday” by Highasakite, and “Stolen Dance” by Milky Chance… you get the idea. Well, a few weeks ago, I heard “Gooey,” and immediately … More Entranced by Glass Animals
I decided to do a bit of solo adventuring again since Aubrey wasn’t back in town yet from Thanksgiving. With Do502’s advice in mind, I ventured to Decca to see Twin Limb perform. I was glad I decided on going because I had missed them at the Do502 launch party a few weeks ago. It’s … More Twin Limb packs Decca’s cellar
First let me say that I started writing this before I knew Brittany was writing her post about upcoming shows. I guess this shows how creepily in sync we are. I realize that it is not even technically winter yet, and not to wish away the next several months or anything (Happy Thanksgiving by the way!), … More Is it festival season yet??
We’ve been huge 23 String Band fans for the last few years, and were surprised and saddened to hear that they were disbanding, but hopeful that this would lead to exciting new projects for the band members. Fiddler Scott Moore has been on his game, forming the new roots rock band, Niles Foley. The band played … More Scott Moore’s got a new gig
It’s been a quiet week, almost a full seven days since a show. That hasn’t happened since…August? Weird. But while we were laying low on the concert-going front, we did score some tickets to upcoming shows that we’re really excited about! December: Aubrey was the lucky caller this week when Duke gave away Glass Animals … More Things to be excited about: Upcoming shows
You should consider yourself lucky if you were able to attend this weekend’s launch party for the up and coming Do502. Party-goers were only let in on their list status and the location a mere 24 hours in advance of the show. The launch took place at Play Louisville, just next door to Butchertown Market where … More Do502 launches in the right direction
