Haymarket Whiskey video and pics

The more or less first punk/hardcore show at the current incarnation of Haymarket (being the incarnation with a huge backroom just for music) went off pretty well the other night. Not only that, but it was pretty well recorded for the most part. There’s some video of All Dead’s last song up to and through where they blew out a fuse on just about their last note. There’s also video of Permanent Night’s entire set (set list below). There were at least 3 people taking photos, if any one else has them online, I’ll link to them below.

Two nights, two shows – March 10/11, 2013

47053_10151512335379083_474661026_n

Alex Rhema has two back to back shows coming up next month that you should check out. Shit, there’s a TON of shows in March. There’s absolutely no reason to be stuck in your house unless you’re an alchemist trying to turn yourself into a golden fatass slug. If you’re trying that specific thing, I’m… impressed. Otherwise, get up and get out jerks. Both shows are at Haymarket on Market St and are All Ages.

Anwar Sadat – Gold

Anwar Sadat – Gold

Anwar Sadat has been pretty busy the last few months with tons of out of town shows as well as a spate of Louisville gigs. They’ve been laying down some groundwork in anticipation for a new 12″ record entitled “Gold” which will be hitting the streets and the web on March 8th, 2013. On the 8th, Cropped Out, The Other Side of Life, and Astro Black will present a release show at Quills/Astro Black to celebrate. Also playing the show will be Whips/Chains and The New Mexico (thought they were done, shows what little I know). The show will be at 10pm for $5, and of course all ages.

Stabler – The Squadroom

Stabler – The Squadroom

Stabler CD cover

Stabler CD cover

With a name like Stabler, you’d likely expect some no-nonsense, straight to the point enforcement. Well, if you’re a fan of Law & Order: SVU that is. If you’re both a fan of that and hardcore, then you’re in luck as Louisville’s Stabler bring you 10 tracks of straight forward thrashing hardcore with their new release The Squadroom. The songs were recorded by Mike Stewart of the House of Wax and mixed/mastered by Sean Collier. If you’re into the songs, you can see Stabler at Spinelli’s Downtown on Sunday, March 17th with Shook Like Dead Men (OH), They Came Bearing Arms, and Hallows. Keep on the look out for some more soon afterwards and potentially for a limited edition CD of this record at those shows.

Rest Peacefully Jon Cook

Longtime Louisville creative Jon Cook passed away this past weekend. Several people have written far better rememberances that I could. You can find those as well as many videos of Jon playing in various bands below.
