It is that time of the year again! Time to summarize the 365 days of 2015 into a single post of the “bests” the year had to offer. When writing last year’s Best Of list, we noted how it was “crazy we’d been to more than 60 shows” in 2014…well that number was easily doubled in … More ‘BEST OF 2015’ SHOWS IN LOUISVILLE
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
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
It’s been a little over a month now, so the specifics may be a little fuzzy, but I remember telling Aubrey that I wanted to write about this one. She’s been obsessed with alt-J for a few years now. We had This Is All Yours ordered pretty much as soon as it came out last year, … More Our alt-J love turned into an Indy weekend
They were one of the first unchaperoned concerts I went to as a teenager, also at an outdoor space similar to Iroquois Amphitheater (but on a New Hampshire level). I can distinctly recall belting out “That Was a Crazy Game of Poker” on the way home from high school every day, and proved to myself … More Like catching up with an old friend – OAR always feels right
This Louisville crew headed to Lexington for some more festival fun at the second annual MoonTower Fest. The smaller, more intimate festival environment was a refreshing one, comparing it to the rest of our summer adventures. We caught a lot of great regional music and enjoyed a hot, but overall nice day (with real bathrooms … More The full moon made for an epic Saturday at MoonTower
After all the build up of events leading to the actual beginning of school, it has finally begun. Unless you’re a teacher, it is really hard to fathom the amount of energy and preparation that goes into opening up the school year, even if you’ve done it a couple (or dozen) times. That first two weeks … More Langhorne’s bday bash for the big 3-5
With school starting, we’ve been on a bit of the “real world” grind and taking it easy in terms of our concert load – this responsible lifestyle kind of sucks, but is a necessity at this time of the year. However, with Citizen Cope and his full band stopping by Headliners, we couldn’t miss this … More Citizen Cope invigorates Headliners crowd
It must be a pretty badass feeling to know that all of the ladies want to be you, and all of the dudes (and prob. ladies too, to be honest) want to be all over you. That chick would be none other than the beautiful and talented Grace Potter. She returned to Louisville a couple … More Grace is up to some fabulous solo stuff
***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
