The unknown Love capital of the world!

Now that I have your attention, February 3rd marks the release of the 9th edition of "Louisville is for Lovers" featuring some of Louisville's finest musicians brought to you by the king of local love, John King! As you know, we'e huge fans of John and what he does by getting bands together on a collective album for folks to sample and what better time to enjoy it that than in the cold, cold month of February.

Volume 9 will will feature 19 tracks and will be released on CD and for the first time on Double LP (Karate Body Records) later in the month of February in a limited run of 500 colored slabs of sweet, sweet vinyl!

This year we asked John if we could do anything to help and will assist in the final production of a bonus disc that will be included in the first 100 copies. The bonus disc will feature an addition 50 minutes of original love songs from new bands and your favorites.
