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.
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
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
***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
