This week’s LEO has a story about Louisville rap/hip-hop Skyscraper Stereo, scheduled to release Homebois in Outer Space CD with a show at Zanzabar on Sunday. Peter Berkowitz does a phoner with the Funky Meters, playing the Waterfront Independence Festival on Monday. You should always read Jason Noble’s Public Noise Private Noise column. Berkowitz’s online B-Sides column is about the Brewfest at the Mellwood Arts Center on Friday. (Ignore the code at the beginning, which should be repaired soon.)
