photo by Kory Johnson Photography

Louisville's own Edgehill Ave have followed suit to many other bands and have gained popularity in Europe; often before catching on in the states. This month they are featured in UK magazine "Power Play" and given an awesome write-up.
I also have to mention the photo's not too bad either as I can now say I've had a photo of mine run double truck in an international magazine!
You can read the article/check out scans of the magazine here. Congrats EA!


Edgehill Avenue's next show is at Slugger field on August 14th at 5:30 pm.

This Saturday... 6/27

This Saturday at Skull Alley, "Casiotone for the Painfully Alone" is playing with locals "Chemic" and my buddy's new band "You're My Destiny". I won't be able to make it to the show due to a camping oblication (ahh, relaxing in the woods...) but you guys should get out to this show, especially for a tiny little $5! Even in this economy, 5 bucks is nothing... prepare to get out to a packed house at Skull Alley!

Mp3s to sample...

Casiotone for the Painfully Alone - Bobby Malone Moves Home

Chemic - Nothing Worth Keeping (from Laundromatinee)
