STRAIGHT A's new album preview

STRAIGHT A's "Humility the Hard Way"

TONIGHT!

Jason

We're incredibly sad to hear of the passing today of Jason Noble. We count ourselves fortunate to have had the chance to work with him. Jason was an exceptionally talented artist as most people familiar with his work know, but more importantly he was a wonderfully kind, generous and supportive person. Our thoughts are with his wife Kristen and all of his family and friends.

Kick off Louisville Summer 2012 in style with the return of the uncanny BUSH LEAGUE with their first Louisville show this year. Sharing the stage, fresh off the release of their new 7", will be BLACK GOD along with RUDE WEIRDO. HAL DOLLS will open things up. Cost is $5.

MADAME MACHINE doings

MADAME MACHINE have been keeping busy since the release of their 7" last month with lots more happenings in the works. First up is this weekend's Record Store Day festivities at Underground Sounds (2003 Highland Ave.) where Madame Machine will kick things off with an early afternoon performance at 11:30am. They will be followed by a performance by the great Cathy Irwin and then later by Tender Mercy, Tropical Trash, Mercy Academy and Farewell Soyuz. This event is FREE, so you should have extra cash to, you know, buy some records or something.

This will be followed a couple weeks later by a spot on the big post-Derby show at The Mammoth (744 S. 13th St.) headlined by Faun Fables. This show is being billed as the MAMMOTH DERBY FEST and will also feature Parlour, Softcheque, Ford Theatre Reunion and W.N.B.A. Starts at 7pm and cost is $10.

Also, check out this nice interview with Madame Machine's Salena Filichia and 7" review by the blog American Gloam.

Madame Machine record release

MADAME MACHINE will be releasing their debut 3 song 7" EP on Noise Pollution next month at a show at Third Street Dive. Opening will be Philadelphia's MANY ARMS (soon to be releasing a record on John Zorn's label) and fellow Noise Pollution recording artists HAL DOLLS. We've previously worked with the folks in MADAME MACHINE in their former bands (Lucky Pineapple, Venus Trap), so we are very pleased to be in cahoots once again.

Julie of the Wolves debut!

Brand new Louisville supergroup JULIE OF THE WOLVES will be making their debut performance on Sunday, March 11th 6pm at Chestnut House. The band features current and former members of MINNOW, VENUS TRAP, SECOND STORY MAN, MADAME MACHINE and THE FREQUENT SEA. This should be an outstanding show as it also features PARLOUR, another new band called LIFE AT HOME and the fantastic EDIE SEDGWICK (Dischord Records).

new video from The Glasspack

New video put together by The Glasspack's Dirty Dave with a cool flier gallery and some tour footage. Nice. This song can be found on The Glasspack/Trophy Wives split 7" and can be purchased right here.

HAL DOLLS "What If Barbie Got Fat?" video

For your consideration... the completely righteous new video from HAL DOLLS off their debut album "Bipolaroid." The DOLLS will next be performing at MADAME MACHINE's 7inch release show next month. More details on that to follow shortly.
