British band Fanfarlo returns to Louisville's Zanzabar on Thursday, March 22, touring behind their recent release, Rooms Filled with Light, which follows up their debut effort from 2009, Reservoir. Led by Simon Balthazar, the young quintet made a positive impact on critics and fans alike with an accomplished first album, and their second outing is no sophomore slump.

Thursday, March 8^th, Reverend Horton Heat will hold service at Headliner’s Music Hall with Larry & His Flask and The Goddamn Gallows on their "Stewed, Screwed, & Tattooed" tour. The Reverend has a nearly endless touring ethic and musical style that’s equally as rooted in Southern tradition as it is in breaking it. Their appeal lies somewhere between the mosh pit, revival, and a good, ol'-fashioned barn-raising, where boundaries between audience and performer become almost disappear. 

I bet you were thinking the same thing that I did when I heard Van Halen was coming to Louisville. I thought, wow, these guys are getting up there in age. Will Diamond Dave still be able to pull off those high notes, not to mention all of those high KICKS! Will Eddie Van Halen be able to keep his fingers moving across the frets of his guitar with the same lightning fast speed as he did when I was listening to them while driving around in my camaro back in the day?

As life grows more difficult, the deeper the economy dives, and the hurt cuts harder, the more music is needed. Music is our collective experiences, celebrations and sorrows. The Drive-By Truckers (DBT) http://www.drivebytruckers.com helps deliver these stories and give to the listener new memory paths of sound and soul. The music of DBT will be in Louisville on Thursday, February 9, 2012 at Headliners Music Hall http://headlinerslouisville.com.
