The Bear Jew Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Bastid... There are a lot of hardcore and emo bands in Louisville, and a few decent indie labels catering to those styles are also headquartered there. I can't speak for the "scene" overall, but I know there are quite a few good "underground" shows in Louisville on a regular basis. They used to have Krazyfest there every year, also the Cornerstone Festival. There are about 13 cool places to play in town. Not bad for a relatively small city. I'd say you could do a lot worse. \m/ Erik "To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." --Sun Tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr M Pulsive Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 I've lived in Louisville for about 4 years now. As far as the overall scene, I don't have alot to compare it to.. I've never lived in a bigger city than Lou. I enjoy it alot though. Like CMDN said, a few bands have made it outta here.... Slint, My Morning Jacket, Days of the New if you're into that side of it, to name a few. I'd probably agree too that the city caters more to hardcore/punk/emo than other genres. I play blues/rock and there are lots of small bars for us to gig, as well as a few larger venues. Another thing that's big here, as it is in every major city, I'm sure.. is cover bands. Lots of bars have regular cover bands every weekend/through the week too. I'd say the pay is pretty good. Why the interest? Thinking of relocating? or just random curiosity? -Mike ...simply stating.

davebrownbass Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 I have no idea about the music scene, but I have deep Kentucky roots...all in Eastern Kentucky (Harlan County) I get through there every year. My dad is in Louisville all the time...he is big in the Masons (anybody here a Mason? Not me, at least not yet.) My dad is the Deputy Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky. Anyway, Eastern Kentucky is a gas. I'll be buried there...when the time comes. "Let's raise the level of this conversation" -- Jeremy Cohen, in the Picasso Thread. Still spendin' that political capital far faster than I can earn it...stretched way out on a limb here and looking for a better interest rate.
