Drivin N Cryin

Drivin’ ‘N’ Cryin’ has been on the road so long, you’d think that would have run out of tears and gotten to wherever it was they were heading, but, no, they’ve discovered that the road goes on forever; tears are another matter. Having moved away from the hard Southern Rock sound of their early years to a more keyboard-oriented one, they have also been releasing EPs rather than full albums since early last year. Songs From The Garage is the most recent. Along with The Whigs, who have been frequent Louisville visitors and generally headliners as well, They will do the honors at Headliners on May 16. Tickets are $15.
Take a look at this documentary teaser:

Also, here’s a new video from the Whigs, for “Staying Alive”:

Fender’s Den Has An App!

Between his periods of cursing and swearing to give up his web radio show, James “Fender” Vize manages to get a few things done, one of which is this: “Fender’s Den” has a app. Download it here. Then what’s happens: he’ll be bombarded with requests for more content, so he’ll have to do more shows, which he’ll have to promote, which will lead to demand for more content . . . Run for it, it’s a trap, Fender!!

We’ll avoid the April Fool’s jokes, thanks, and just go with what’s happening. Over at Gannett®’s Louisville Profit Center, J. L. Puckett has a long write-up/interview with Cage The Elephant, the hot Bowling Green band playing a sold-out show at Headliners today. Joe Lord’s piece about Widespread Panic also ran in the GLPC today. Thomas Nord has a brief blurb and photo for the Pokey LaFarge and The South City Three show at Zanzabar on Saturday


Even The New York Times Touts Louisville’s Music Scene

The New York Times has a tour-the-city feature about the Derby City, called 36 hours in Louisville, which, in addition to all the usual attraction, plugs Louisville’s music scene. Brief but thank you very much, anyway. Mentioned are Will Oldham, Slint and My Morning Jacket (of course) plus Wax Fang, Cheyenne Mize, Seluah and Joe Manning.


Bye-bye, Kimmet Cantwell

UPDATE: The Facebooks are a wonderful place to stand corrected, or at least, updated: Doug Florio has been playing with a new partner, Christine Devore (Pinnick) for a month or so. Send more news if you have it.

Word has it that Kimmet Cantwell is leaving the Derby City for Chicago. There’s a significant guitar-player friend there. I hear, so no more Kimmet and Doug, either.

Ye neo LEO is the annual fake issue, very amusing, very droll, but nothing of note about music. Over at the Velocity, Peter Berkowitz allows as how he’s not much interested Elton John (ditto that), plus Joe Lord has a full-page spread on Widespread Panic and and Justin Powell previews the Electric Six show (not online yet)

Following their excursion to SXSW, The Fervor will be the latest Louisville band to take it on the road, promoting their new CD, Arise, Great Warrior. As a teaser and preview, they’re offering a free track, “Let’s Get Loaded” at http://download.themusebox.net/the_fervor/lets_get_loaded.mp3. The new album was produced with help from the busy Jim James, so it should get some listens out in the great, wide music market.
