Sandpaper Dolls puts on a fantastically eerie show at MEAT. [Music]

Sandpaper Dolls
Experimental a'cappella trio, Sandpaper Dolls, had MEAT at capacity and listeners waiting outside to get in.

I was told hearing the Sandpaper Dolls at MEAT would be an unforgettable experience, but I was not prepared for how spectacular it ended up being. I knew the music would be great because I had heard the trio once before at the Rudyard Kipling, so the quality of the music was not a concern.

Revolutionary African artist Bassekou Kouyate and his band Ngoni Ba unpack the lutes this Thursday.

Bassekou Kouyate’s axe of choice is a ngoni lute, a string instrument native to Africa that appears to wield limited musical capabilities by its small, handmade stature.

Pixies bring Doolittle to Palace Theater [Music]

The reunited band makes Louisville's Palace Theater the next stop on their Doolittle exclusive tour this Wednesday. Guitarist Joey Santiago spoke to Louisville.com about his side project with drummer Dave Lovering and keepin' on with the Pixies.

The linear pattern of nostalgia-ready bands reunited and world tour bound continues.

(Laughs) There’s no reason to quit. ”

Interview: Lou Barlow on low-fidelity and felines [Music]

Lo-fi veteran Lou Barlow returns to Headliners this Friday to celebrate the reissue of Sebadoh's beloved Bakesale. And cats.

As the 90’s dissolved, so did the uncertain future of Sebadoh that was left stalled in 1999 after their last album The Sebadoh was released. Every couple of years since then, Lou Barlow gets back together with bandmates Jason Loewenstien and Eric Gaffney to keep the legacy alive. Sebadoh breathed life once more when they embarked on tour in 2004, and again in 2008 during the wake of Dinosaur Jr.’s anticipated revival.

Interview: Talking color with Alex Maas of the Black Angels [Music]

This Friday the Black Angels return to Louisville at Headliners after two consecutive cancelations in the past. Guitarist/vocalist Alex Maas took some time to reflect on visual songwriting, black metal and describing the unknown.

The black alliance was broken last year when the Black Angels canceled their opening set for Black Mountain on the Dropout Boogie tour, but this Friday they make a welcome return to Headliners Music Hall, this time as a headlining act. Sludgy shoegazers Dead Meadow are set to open with Spindrift; expect to hear a dynamic of heavy psychedelia and low-key gypsy rock jams to build anticipation.

“Chilin” at the Hill Sun. Oct. 9th [Music]

Chili, music and beer, kept the crowd happy at Phoenix Hill this past Sun. Oct. 9th. Best of all, the chili and music were free!

Delicious chili, great music and cold brews were the order of the day Sunday at the Phoenix Hill Tavern, 644 Baxter Ave.  A massive crowd gathered for the free chili samples and live entertainment, with the biggest throng there between about 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.  Coincidentally, that is when many of the contestants began to run out of chili, which was administered liberally in one ounce soufflé cups to the crowd.
