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

For location, time and cost, click on the … More Live Music Lou’s Can’t Miss: November 8-14
Since I’ve crossed the threshold of being closer to 30 than I am to 20, I’ve done a lot of self reflection and honestly struggle with the idea. AKA, I feel really old more often than not these days. The twenty-somethings came out for this Wednesday night show at Zanzabar. And apparently that twenty-something in … More Those young things
Aubrey: It’s fairly safe to say that a dream was fulfilled this past weekend: attending Lollapalooza. Since high school, when I first heard of this remarkable weekend of the best that the music industry has to offer, I’ve wanted to go. I worked hard for our Friday tickets and am able to say that I … More Live Music Lou does Lollapalooza 2015
***Side note: Do502 and Live Music Lou have both made their way up to Chicago for some good ol’ Lollapalooza merriment – therefore, this week’s preview is being published on our website for the time being. CHEERS! From what we can tell, Strive is a new organization in the 502 that speaks to the things … More The Do502 Live Music Lou Weekly Preview: STRIVEFEST at La La Land
Crescent Hill Radio plays all local bands all of the time. With help from Apocalypse Brew Works, they formed a mini festival a couple of years ago to feature those local bands – hence, Poorcastle was born. This was our first time attending the event, and though we were only able to attend Sunday, it’s … More Poorcastle year 3: A huge local success
ROMP‘s final day brought with it a welcome respite from all of the crummy weather. The Kentucky Bluegrass AllStars kicked off the morning lineup. It’s always amazing to see how talented these kids are and how excited they are to play in front of the ROMP crowd. There had been a lot of hype for gifted … More We all ROMPed the night away for the finale
New Albany is known for being a quaint town across the river, whose heyday reached a peak back in the 19th century – hence the moniker, “Boomtown.” My dad would tell me the most famous person to come from New Albany is Fuzzy Zoeller (a golfer), but in more recent times, the big name is Houndmouth. … More It was a beautiful afternoon in Boomtown
We double dipped this past Wednesday night, refusing to miss either show even though it meant a bit of traveling. To start, Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue were in town at the Mercury Ballroom, playing for a “Mardi Gras in May” themed crowd. The $20 VIP Mardi Gras gig sounds like it would have been a … More “Mardi Gras in May” and a Communion Showcase
Murder By Death is a recently relocated band with origins in Bloomington, Indiana. A little while back, we spoke with front-man Adam Turla; he let us know that although he is a Hoosier (like me), he and the band have planted some roots in our Old Kentucky Home. Fittingly, the most recent Murder By Death … More A good ol’ Derby Eve affair
