Anthrax forging and creating Heavy Metal [Music]

Scott Ian, Joey Belladonna, Frank Bello
Thirty years and counting, Anthrax brings its thrash metal to Louisville.

It was 1986 and heavy metal was king. Big hair, spandex, high heels and ripped shirts were the rule. I was leaning against my 1977 baby blue, Honda Civic hatch back when I heard Anthrax for the first time. It was a cool, crisp fall day, we were parked in Cherokee Park and skipping school. My friend David was along for the ride and had a new cassette tape. He popped in the tape and turned the volume up as loud as he could. The cassette, Spreading the Disease, was thrashing through the air. A small crowd gathered and we moshed. We wore our bruises like a badge of honor.

Highlonesome, Quiet Hollers and Bosco hit the stage at The Mag Bar [Music]

Highlonesome, Quiet Hollers and Bosco hit the stage at The Mag Bar
Do you like original music with lyric and emotion of real life? Get to the Mag Bar Friday 13, 2012.

Quiet Hollers, Highlonesome and Bosco will be taking the stage at the Magnolia (Mag) Bar on Friday 13th at 9 p.m.

Bosco Ain't Your Momma's Country [Music]

Come out, get down and dirty with Bosco, Highlonesome, and the Quiet Hollers at the Mag Bar January 13, 2012

Bosco is a full speed band with quick riffs, fun lyrics and in your face attitude. It is energetic, stripped down music that brings me back to more carefree times of my youth. The drum kit is not pushed to the back of the stage, it is situated up front, already Bosco sets themselves apart visually. This band is non-conforming. Their take on Bluegrass or Country is of a new genre. The music is neither Country, Folk, Rock, Bluegrass or Punk. Bosco is what is great about all genres of music mashed into one.

Brett Eugene Ralph's Kentucky Chrome Revue [Music]

Punk Rock is NOT Dead! It is alive and kicking in Louisville.

Punk rock is alive and well! I had the pleasure of being entertained by the Straight A's, Rude Weirdo, David Grubbs, Brett Eugene Ralph's Kentucky Chrome Revue and the Web at the Bard's Town Theater on December 30, 2011.  These local musicians pushed the envelope of sound, engaged the audience and compelled me to listen.

Sports legends of the Ville (landmark edition): Churchill Downs [Sports]

Churchill Downs starts back up in October and welcomes the Breeder's cup in early November. With that in mind, I'm continuing to look at the landmark sports venues in the city of Louisville.

In an earlier article I discussed the man that made Churchill Downs a reality. However, what my main question now is about the track itself, once it was built what did that mean for the city of Louisville.

A Rockin' Good Time to Close Out the Kentucky State Fair [Music]
