HENDERSON!
A couple of guys who are some of our favorite people will be coming (somewhat close) to our area. The very funny comedians, and brothers, The Sklar Brothers will be performing at The Comedy Attic in Bloomington, IN from Thursday, February 16 through the 18th. You will have five chances to see them there, and we recommend going at least three times. If you are not familiar with the Sklars then click your mouse on the link below to visit the calming shores of their fantastic podcast Sklarbro Country (part of the Earwolf network). Sports racers may know them from the Jim Rome show, Cheap Seats on ESPN Classic, etc, and comedy nerds will know them from… well, you comedy nerds already know you’re going to the shows and will be punching waterfalls all the way to Bloomington. So if you’ve been feeling down with seasonal depression, get back on topps by going and seeing the Sklars.

Who: The Sklar Brothers
What: Funny things
When: Thursday-Saturday, February 16-18
Where: The Comedy Attic (Bloomington, IN – Google map)
Why: We said so! Now go punch a waterfall.
How: Drive. Not Drive Angry 3D, just Drive.

You should see: The Black Belles w/ Bleached @ Cosmic Charlies 2/6

January 25, 2012

by

January 25, 2012

I had the chance to see The Black Belles at their first ever live performance at Third Man Records on Halloween of 2010 and was blown away. Since then they have released a solid full length album, and a personal favourite 7″ with one Stephen Colbert. Things have been bright and shining for the women in black so far, and now you have a chance to see them. Along with The Black Belles will be the fine ladies of Bleached, so this show is like a Paul Giamatti film – a Win Win. But unlike that film this show will be very enjoyable and entertaining. The show will take place at Cosmic Charlies in Lexington. It’s on a Monday night but it will be worth you dragging to work on Tuesday morning. Info and important links below. See you there!

Who: The Black Belles w/ Bleached
What: Music I know you will enjoy
When: Monday, February 6 @ 9p
Where: Cosmic Charlies (Lexington – Google map)
Why: It would be a very good choice to go
How: Buy tickets. $8 advance, $10 at doors

Very exciting news on the Forecastle front. Forecastle has announced a collaboration with My Morning Jacket on this year’s event. In addition to headlining Saturday night of the festival, the band will collaborate with producers on festival sights, sounds and experiences, as well as charitable aspects of the event.  And with AC Entertainment’s involvement (think Bonnaroo), the remainder of the lineup is sure to be just as incredible. The magic happens July 13th-15th.

Over 75 additional artists will be announced in the upcoming weeks, including the Friday and Sunday night headliners. Tickets will go on-sale January 27 at 12p EST, including a limited quantity of specially-priced, $100 weekend passes.

ANTHRAX w/ Testament @ Expo Five – 1/29/12

January 14, 2012

by

January 14, 2012

 

You know those times when you look back at a concert poster from years ago and think, “that would have been a killer show”? Well, 80s thrash metal heavyweights Anthrax and Testament are coming to melt your faces off in a couple weeks.

Anthrax is one of the most prolific and iconic bands of the 1980s thrash metal explosion. At one point they were dubbed one of the “big four”, alongside Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer. The famously-goateed Scott Ian will be playing with the Anthrax you know and love from the days when you were watching “Beavis & Butthead” and “Ren & Stimpy”. So this is really good news. You want to come out for this show.

Anthrax is playing with Testament and special guests, Death Angel

When: SUNDAY, January 29

Where: Expo Five

Deets: $25 adv. doors @ 630PM

Video: Nerves Junior – “Swimmer’s Ear”

January 10, 2012

by

January 10, 2012

One of Backseat Sandbar’s favorite artists, Nerves Junior, has just released a new video for “Swimmer’s Ear,” the third single from their debut album “As Bright As Your Night Light” released on sonaBLAST! The video depicts a dark “angel of death” kind of sequence with brilliant transitions .

The guys, and we, strongly recommend you watch in 1080p HD to get the full view that the director intended.

We recently caught Nerves Junior at their New Years Eve performance with The Pass where they put on an incredible and dark performance. You can check those pictures out HERE.

The Pass, Nerves Junior @ Butchertown Pub (NYE) – 12/31/11

January 7, 2012

by

January 7, 2012

In time honored tradition, The Pass welcomed Louisville into the new year. Blasting through a slew of yet-to-be released songs in preparation for their new as-of-yet untitled album (which is currently being recorded), a few of the Pass hits we’ve come to know and love, as well as a few incredible covers. Big things are ahead for these guys.

Nerves Junior put on an incredible performance as well, similarly performing covers and originals, and the general consensus in the room was that it was their best performance to date. These guys are a young band still developing and finding their sound and stage manner, but their potential is as scary as their facepaint. With a great album in tow, when it clicks for these guys…it’s going to explode.

See more photos below…
