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
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
For a Monday night, there was a lot of hazey stuff going on at Headliners. (Literally, though. Our camera kept fogging up.) The Oxford, England gents of the indie psych band Glass Animals were in town for what turned out to be a sweaty and sultry evening. Front man Dave Bayley noticed and commented that Louisville was … More Drip.
Summer is winding down for us teachers, so we are making sure to take full advantage of our free time and are hitting as many shows as possible before things pick back up for us. Friday night we had the opportunity to catch two acts making their first ever stops in Louisville. We started with … More A few new ones to Lou
