Krazy Fest photo recap: Sunday 5/22 [Music]
5.22.11- Expo 5
The legendary Krazy Fest was rarely heard of in the last ten years, but 2011 brought Louisville's ultimate punk rock weekend a promising future. In addition to bringing bands like Anti-Flag, Bane and Against Me, Sunday consisted of a differing lineup, from blues rockers Lucero to hardcore heads like Coalesce and rocking in the old school with Bouncing Souls. There was a brief stint of rain in the afternoon, but it wasn't enough to stifle spirits among festival go-ers.
HullabaLOU review: The Travelin' McCourys and Dan Tyminski [Music]
This was bluegrass royalty. Plain and simple. In the paddock of Churchill Downs, The Travelin' McCourys and Dan Tyminski performed a splendid 90-minute set Friday at HullabaLOU filled with little fanfare but plenty of musical virtuosity.
HullabaLOU Friday: The concert t-shirt and more [Music]
"And please don't take handfuls of diet pills." That's what I heard Fred Schneider of The B-52s tell the crowd before he briefly left the stage while Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson took over vocals duties on their hit Roam. I have no context to out that quote in, but it sure sounds like good advice to me. Schneider returned for Party Out of Bounds, which partially described the sizable crowd who seemed to be having a fine time.

What to do when heading to HullabaLOU [Music]
Who would’ve thought Louisville would turn out to be a music festival Mecca? First there was Forecastle; now there’s HullabaLOU, a brand-new music festival to be held at Churchill Downs this weekend, July 23–25. With musical acts ranging from Al Green to Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes to the B-52s to Bon Jovi and the Dave Matthews Band, there truly is something for everybody.

Sara Watkins charms crowd at Forecastle Festival [Music]
If you are known for your acoustic, bluegrass-inspired country-folk, opening your set with a Fleetwood Mac song may seem odd. Not if you're Sara Watkins. The fiddle-playing third of NickeL Creek has recently stepped out on her own with a self-titled debut solo album released last year. Sunday at Forecastle Festival 2010, Watkins played an eclectic and inspired set of originals and covers.
Sunday at Forecastle Festival: The rock t-shirt [Music]
The guy with the face paint making his way through the huge crowd Saturday evening was nowhere to be seen Sunday afternoon at Forecastle Festival. Instead, Frisbee throwers, corn hole tossers, and a guy dressed like a banana helped make up the colorful crowd on a sunny and hot July day. And while some beat the heat by going shirtless, there were plenty of others wearing - you guessed it - rock band t-shirts.
