Edgehill Ave. this friday @ Live Lunch

This coming Friday, Edgehill Ave. will play at 91.9 WFPK's HSA Broadcasting studio for Live Lunch. The performance is free but seating is limited to 70 people. The doors open at 11:30 am and the show starts at noon. If for some reason you can't get out of work or aren't one of the 70 to get in, you can always get your Edgehill Ave. fix by listening live on the radio.

Edgehill Ave. is also playing Zena's on Main Street with The Trust and John Woosley the following day, August 4th.

Lucky Pineapple play as Autobahn

This year at Lebowski Fest, Lucky Pineapple chose to mimic the band "Autobahn" from the movie. In case you're wondering, this was the band that the nihilists played in... remember "Where's za muney Lebowski?" and "We believe in nossing!"

The band "Autobahn" also dressed like the band Kraftwerk for their mock album cover. Lucky Pineapple also covered the song "Autobahn" by Kraftwerk. Whew... did you get that?

We were there taking pictures and we also recorded their set. In the spirit of the festival I decided to make some album artwork that looked like the Autobahn album with a tropical twist.

Follow the Train in Space... and MORE!

Last week we were attendees of a very nice show put on by Follow the Train, The Pennies and The Invaders. I had only heard of The Pennies from hearsay and still need to go out and buy their recently released album, 10,0000 Things. The same goes for The Invaders who don't even seem to have a MySpace page (not that that's a bad thing). All the bands blew us away. Follow the Train put on a space themed show complete with a Darth Vader, Obi Wan battle with glow sticks attached to pawn shop "fender-like" guitars.
There was plenty of room in the venue so more of you guys need to get out and take an interest. Follow the Train plays again tomorrow night at the Monkeywrench and The Pennies play again on Saturday at Forecastle Festival.
I recorded the Follow the Train set and it turned out alright. Pictures and mp3s are below.

6th Annual Lebowski Fest photo galleries

The 6th annual Lebowski Fest was this past weekend and was a blast as usually. More and more Dudes, Walters, Jesus' and Jackie Treehorns come out of the wood work every year.

It was announced that achievers from 40 states made it to the festivities this year. Vietnam and Dr. Dog were a great pair of bands to kick off the festivities and Squeeze Box, Lucky Pineapple, Ladybirds, The Shack Shakers, Kentucky Prophet, Bad Blood and The Slow Break provided a fitting soundtrack to the mid 80's and uncommonly low humidity of the weekend.

Activism Sneak-Peak this Friday

Thanks again to everyone who turned out for the "sneak-peak" events the past few Fridays.

This Friday is the final event, and we would greatly appreciate everyone coming out to support the Kentucky organizations represented at the 6th annual event:

Friday, July 20th

Louisville, KY 40206

featuring: Sierra Club, Kentuckians For The Commonwealth, Louisville Sustainability Forum, Kentucky Resources Council, Community Farm Alliance, and many more...

**************************************

THE FORECASTLE FESTIVAL is the largest gathering of musicians, artists, and activists in the American Midwest. Founded in Louisville, KY, the scenic, outdoor event is equally based upon a three-part format: Music.Art.Activism. Combining the hardest working Midwest bands, artists, and progressive environmental organizations ~ Forecastle is the place where the people come together. The 2006 festival brought a record attendance to Louisville's historic Mellwood Art & Entertainment Center. This year's fest ~ with its waterfront setting, expanded line-ups, extreme sports park, and finale performances from dual national acts ~ is expected to surpass 2006 by five thousand attendees, converging in Louisville from the Midwest and beyond.

Wax Fang @ The Dame

A little over two weeks ago, Wax Fang stunned the city of Lexington with an incredible show at The Dame. Although it was a late night driving back to Louisville, it was worth getting to see Scott, Jake and Kevin rock the house outside of Louisville in their last show before this months Forecastle Festival starting July 27th.

Below you'll find our meager attempt at taping the show (my 2nd taping experience). I only have a MiniDisc recorder and I think I had a bad MD so there are a couple spots with dead space and I closed the gaps and left them alone. It's only 20 seconds in a couple different spots. The house sound guy couldn't really get the sound right and the vocals suffered, you can hear how much went on in the 5+ min intro time to check the sound. Pictures are also linked below.

All in all, it turned out well, I think. Thanks to Wax Fang for allowing us to tape. This will also be uploaded to archive.org soon.

Scott Carney solo set @ Germantown

Last weekend I attended the tail end of the first ever Germantown Shotgun Fest.
This was my very first experience taping and I borrowed the gear from Scott Duthie, Thanks Scott! The quality is not all that great as the crowd was very chatty. I clipped the mics to a tent in the parking lot at around 7' high and 15' from the stage. During "Wake Up Sleepyhead" they started tearing down the tent and I moved the mics to chair level (3' or so). At this point the crowd grew all around me and nowhere else. It turned into a nightmare and you can hear it on the tape. Oh well, I'm still happy to have gotten to tape the show. Enjoy what you can. A picture gallery is also below.
