Ninnie Novel Nicety: Repetition de Amores

Experimental music, sound sculpture and video, September 17th and 24th at Art Sanctuary and The Alley Theatre. Pre-show provided by The Twisted Sister Family Band!!!

Cynthia Norton is a Kentucky artist where in Athens she developed her native identity since early childhood. Norton relates sculptural and sonic interpretations of the domestic traditions of her southern cultural heritage, creating video quilts, instruments, moonshine stills and kinetic dress sculptures. In 1995, while completing her MFA at The Art Institute of Chicago in Time Arts, Norton concocted her performance personae of Ninnie Naïve (based upon the classic country comedic genre of the ‘rube’; she has been described as “Alternative Minnie Pearl”, “a countryfied Laurie Anderson” and “a sarcastic hillbilly”). Currently, Ninnie is ‘Ninnie Novel Nicety’ an experimental musical performance artist that toured Europe in May and June. This is a pre-release concept album show, which features music written on the road and denotes a different city for almost each song. Entitled ‘Repetition de Amores’, after the first book written about chess, the work will culminate into a new album to be released January 2011.

9/25 Furlong/Anderson -free 7"

There is something very special going on in Louisville these days. the tradition of local bands releasing 7" singles is coming back. It seems vinyls presses are realizing that it's better to have affordable prices and get work, than charge $6 per print and have no work.

2 weeks ago LOUISVILLE IS FOR LOVERS had their first in a series of 2 band outdoor shows with a free split 7" to anyone in attendance, series to resume in the spring. Skull Alley is also doing this once a month.

and, Starting on the 25th, Gubbey Records is doing their own 7" series, free at the door at Derby City Expresso, with Furlong & Anderson, all ages, 9pm, $3. and they obviously are not concerned about recouping their expenses, this sexy 7" is a split solid black and red with full color inserts.

this is Gubbey Records first release in 5 years.

Zombies VS Pirates: you decide 8/29 & 9/4

there are many philosophical questions we are faced with from time to time: where did we come from? where are we going? are we inherently good or bad? which is better Zombies or Pirates?
as Louisivillians in the upcoming weeks we are faced with an interesting challenge..
On Sunday August 29th at 9pm at bearno's on Bardstown RD the 6th Annual ZOMBIE ATTACK is running for the Largest Zombie Gathering as sanctioned by THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS. The record to beat is just over 3,000, so they need everyone to come out and help bring the tittle to louisville (from England, America needs this during these uncertain times).

and Saturday on September 4, The Frazier International History Museum will be celebrating their Founder's Day by attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the largest pirate gathering. the record here is 1722.

Luckily they are on different days, so you don't have to decide. you can do both.
