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
We spent money on some good seats for this one…and when I say good, I mean, we were front and center. For the Punch Brothers? TOTALLY worth it. We’ve seen the Punch Brothers multiple times now, but each time provides a new experience, each equally enjoyable. My last dance with the folk professionals was at … More Punch Brothers, cicadas serenade Iroquois Amphitheater
The moral of this story is pretty simple: I love outdoor events, especially musical ones. I love frolicking around the Waterfront. I love Waterfront Wednesdays. I love WFPK and everything they do. Scott Carney is a fucking performer. I’m hyped to hear this new Wax Fang stuff in the next year. I am sad that … More Sad it is over – 2015’s final Waterfront Wednesday
So, um, holy cow, Calexico is a band of talented musicians. The performers, hailing from different states and even nations, each moved through at least 14 different instruments throughout the set – every member played a minimum of one other instrument at some point. The eclectic mix of instruments and styles makes each Calexico song stand out as individual. … More Calexico showcased their musical diversity at Headliners
I remember an ex-boyfriend making me a mix back in junior year of high school with José González‘ cover of “Heartbeats” being on the track list. He knew I loved acoustic guitars and folk-singers – one of the few things he did get about me – and although that boyfriend is long gone, I was very glad … More It’s hard to find words perfect enough for José González
To start, what a great weekend. This was a big weekend for us as Live Music Lou – we got to take pictures from the pit! I had my first, “holy shit, this is really freaking cool” moment while taking pictures of Ludacris…LUDAAAAAA! Heading out of town, just down the road to St. Louis gave … More How Live Music Lou did LouFest 2015
Best Coast was in town and left an impression. We were lucky enough to see this LA band two times in a week – they opened up for alt-J that next weekend in Indy. Both sets stood out. It is almost contradictory…so much of what they do is based upon simplicity but they definitely have a … More Best Coast doesn’t even have to try
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
