The saying “Everything tastes better with bacon” was put to the test as Hammerheads Restaurant was ultimately crowned the “Bacon King” for the second consecutive year. The 2012 Bacon Ball hosted by the Louisville Visual Art Association promised a “mixed media culinary delight night of booty shakin’, art making Bacon Ball extravaganza” and they certainly spent the evening gettin' piggy with it.

Review: Fanfarlo brings unique sound to Zanzabar [Music]

Fanfarlo
Fanfarlo stopped in at Zanzabar on their current tour, bringing impressive new songs from their recent album and showing off a lot of talent.

I was a little concerned for British rock band Fanfarlo on Thursday night. I knew they might have to compete with the much-anticipated Louisville v. Michigan State game, but I needn't have worried. With impeccable timing, the band was just setting up as Louisville put the final touches on its impressive win and a chant of C-A-R-D-S broke out from the outside patio. Now, everyone was ready for music.

A trio of happiness in Louisville - California Guitar Trio at Zanzabar [Music]

California Guitar Trio played Zanzabar - and rocked it out
The California Guitar Trio offers up guitar playing like no other.

Speaking from personal experience, The California Guitar Trio (CGT) is as good as they were the last time I saw them, at Glassworks and will be the next time I see them and I will see them.  Zanzabar hosted the CGT and Sandpaper Dolls for a super duper good time.  The house was lying in wait for these gents to take the stage following a fantastic a capella set by The Sandpaper Dolls. The Dolls warmed up the crowd with smooth voices in harmony and could be heard from the front of the house.
