Coliseum/Auxilary October 09 News

From Ryan Patterson:

Greetings all. It’s been a while since the last Coliseum update…

First, we’re very happy to welcome Coliseum’s new drummer Carter Wilson to the fold. Carter hails from Birmingham and we tracked him down on the suggestion of Young Widows, who we thank very much for the tip. He joined the band in August and has seamlessly learned our old songs while diving headlong into new material. Many movies, burritos and good times have been shared in the last few months and we look forward to many more down the road. We’ll be hitting the road this month for the first time since June, debuting some new songs and playing our first batch of shows with Carter.

Oct. 09 Noise Pollution News

Hello folks. Just a brief news update.

We’ve modified our dusty old website with a blogspot account so as to provide news updates with greater frequency. This will act as a sort of placeholder site until we get our stuff together for a proper overhaul. The old site will no longer be updated other than new releases which will be accessible through the blog. Please go to www.louisvillenoise.com to check it out and check back often as we’re going to be adding updates regularly.

We’re very pleased to announce the upcoming release of the new Second Story Man album, Screaming Secrets. It will be released on December 5th on both CD and LP. This record has been over two years in the making and is easily the best work they have ever done. The release show will be at Skull Alley on 12/5 with openers Straight A’s and Softcheque.

“September 30th marks one year since Louisville native and rock n’ roller Jen Futrell was killed on her bicycle. In remembrance of her life and others’ that have been killed on the road as pedestrians or cyclists there will be a day of food and biking.
