For the final Winter Wednesday of the 2014-15 season, WFPK called in two sets that brought a capacity crowd to the Clifton Center. Hailing from Grand Rapids, Michigan, opening band the Soil & the Sun offered a change of pace from the other Winter Wednesday openers this year. The seven-piece band is able to produce … More WFPK strays from the usual for final Winter Wednesday
Thursday’s are the new Friday. Both my emotional state and event calendar seem to be matching this sentiment. We’ve had a couple pretty big Thursday’s since the new year and I expect this trend to continue. We went into the night with a lofty goal of hitting three separate shows across the city, including stops … More It’s a three-show kind of night
Fowlerfest 2015. Steve Fowler, you must be one pretty cool dude to not only have a night dedicated to you at Zanzabar, but to have Frederick the Younger, Spirit Animal, and Kaleidico all play for you. We haven’t actually met you yet in person, but when we do, we’re hoping we can absorb some of that … More Life goals: Our faces on balloons and shows just for us. Fowlerfest 2015.
Normally we’re able to sneak around through the cracks in the crowd to get a front or second row spot at Zanzabar. The Field Report and Bahamas show last weekend proved otherwise though, as everyone in the sold out crowd wanted to be as close to stage as possible. Few opening bands that we’ve seen … More Sweetly serenaded by Bahamas and Field Report
Do502 teamed up with WFPK and Leo Weekly as well as Louisville’s top notch local music venues (Mercury Ballroom, Headliners Music Hall, Zanzabar and The New Vintage) to put on an inaugural Free Week. Starting January 27th with a kick off party at Haymarket Whiskey Bar, local music fans were able to check out established … More #FreeWeekLou takes over the city’s music scene
We had been planning to go all along, but then we found out Twin Limb was going to be there, so we were 100% in. And then we only caught the last two songs since Zbar has been on its game lately as far as starting things on time. We’ll get you next time, ladies. … More Landlady brings just the right amount of crazy
Night 5 of the 6 shows in 7 days stretch had us viewing Bully and Strand of Oaks at Zanzabar. Unlike Headliners, the doorman isn’t overtly recognizing us, so that has now become my personal mission. (addendum: this may have been accomplished this weekend- Vern and I are working on this first name basis thing). … More Strand of Oaks- Another Hoosier who likes Louisville
Everyone knows the midwinter blues – spending the time wishing for hot weather, clear blue skies, and music-filled festival days. I think specifically of ROMP, especially back to the summer of 2012 when we had that major heat wave that started the weekend of the festival. I may not be able to make time fly by … More MMSB gives us a little bluegrass fever
Congratulations are due to Louisville band Twin Limb on several accounts. First, it was just announced that the duo, turned trio, will be heading out on the road with Houndmouth next month. Second, Twin Limb is a first for this blog- this is the first multiple post band for us (Brittany saw them at Decca … More Twin Limb’s additions add up
Prior to starting this, we listed out all of the Louisville shows (not including other cities, or, for the most part, festivals) so we could come up with some categories. We found it crazy that we’d been to more than 60 shows this year. With our teaching schedule, it’s pretty awesome that we’ve been so … More ‘Best of 2014’ Shows in Louisville
