I’m sure you all have been stumped by the Forecastle headliner clues (so were we). Well, we think we may know some of the headliners at this year’s Forecastle Festival (July 9-11). We could be wrong, but this is what we have heard:
SPOON
TOOL
WIDESPREAD PANIC (AGAIN)
THE POGUES
UMPHREY’S MCGEE
My brother over at We Listen For You has a new Green Building Session out today and it is perhaps my favorite yet. Ben Sollee and Daniel Martin Moore stopped in with Cheyenne Mize (did you see our post about her new album today?) and percussionist, Dan Dorff. They played the title track from their new album, Dear Companion (the song that stole the show at their ear x-tacy in-store performance). Enjoy.
Cheyenne Marie (Mize) has a new 7 song EP out now, Before Lately, and I must say I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. We’ve said it before, she is one of our favorite local artists and possibly the most talented person alive. Everything she touches is amazing and this album is no different. You may have seen her play with Arnett Hollow, Ben Sollee, Bonnie “Prince” Billy or Thomas A. Minor & The Picket Line, but now she takes the stage front and center. All seven songs are original compositions and she plays all the instruments. She recorded it with Daniel Kiely at In Room One Studio in Louisville, mixed with Duane Lundy at Shangri-la Studio in Lexington, and mastered with Kevin Ratterman at The Funeral Home Studio in Louisville. Interested yet? Check out the entire album, streaming below, then buy it for $5 bucks.
TRACK LISTING:
1. Best
2. Friend
3. Waiting
4. Rest
5. Path

RUDE WEIRDO (from Louisville)
TALK NORMAL (from Brooklyn, New York; on Rare Book Room Records)
NZAMBI (from Louisville, formerly PAX TITANIA)
Sunday, April 4th
at SKULL ALLEY
1017 E. Broadway
8 PM, $5, ALL AGES!
Louisville’s RUDE WEIRDO are a return to classic, three-chord punk. Consisting of Eric Ronay, Dave Bird, Jason Hayden, and Jason Fuller, these veterans of “the scene, man” really throw it down. The first time I saw them (with an almost entirely different lineup, with the exception of bassplayer/singer Ronay), they covered Agent Orange. They’ve released a compact disc on Louisville Lip Records, and hopefully more good things are coming soon.
Sarah Register and Andrya Ambro allied as TALK NORMAL in 2007, after years of friendship, and haven’t stopped moving. Since their lightning-strike first appearance, TALK NORMAL’s sound has stormed upward and outward, referencing few and relating to many, a jarringly songful gale of rhythm and noise supporting pleas and plaints, signal-calls and marching orders. Each show builds on past ones: up-to-the-moment updates of ideas previously stated, new phrasings of old upheavals delivered with increasing focus and joy. Darkness and light; fury, silence, space and sound. Opening for Xiu Xiu in the rest of the U.S. this spring, TALK NORMAL is returning to Louisville for another rare performance!
NZAMBI is the new synth project from Christopher Cprek, who has also released work under the PAX TITANIA moniker. Christopher uses an arsenal of DIY modular synthesizers. His former projects include Darker Florida with Irene Moon, Auk Theatre with Irene Moon, and as a member of Warmer Milks a few years back. NZAMBI’s debut as a project was in October at Zanzabar, with Regression, Spykes, and others.

As you probably know by now, we are vinyl fanatics here at B.S. If you are too, here is an opportunity for you to get Sade’s new album on vinyl. Just comment below and let us know which vinyl you own is your favorite. I know it is like picking a favorite child, but mine is probably The National’s Cherry Tree EP on clear cherry red vinyl. The album releases on March 23rd, so I’ll announce a winner on the 20th. Good luck.
VINYL FORMAT. Epic Records is pleased to announce the release of Soldier of Love, the highly anticipated new body of work from Sade. Soldier of Love is Sade’s first official studio album since the multi-platinum release of Lovers Rock in 2000. That’s a long time Sade, where have you been?! Writing sweet lovejamz, I guess.
Pitchfork gave it “Best New Music.” Read the review here.
“Soldier of Love” is based entirely around a single staggering groove, a wounded stride anchored simply by a regular kick drum and delayed snare. Around this motif, and its unrelenting-yet-damaged steps, a song is gradually carved: a sensuous sculpture that refuses to congeal, an effect not unlike making out an uncertain shape by touch in total darkness…. – Pitchfork.
Or you can PRE-ORDER it at Insound.
Abbey Road on the River, a five day Beatles music festival, is back again for it’s another year at the Belvedere and Galt House Hotel from May 27th – May 31st, beginning with a free lunchtime concert on the roof of the Louisville Visitors Center. 2010 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Terry Sylvester of The Hollies will headline this year’s festival, along with performances from over 50 bands on eight stages. Other popular returning acts include Canada’s Hal Bruce and All You Need is Love, Chicago’s Britbeat, Moscow, Russia’s Alyona, Puerto Rico’s The Jukebox, Athens, Georgia’s Abbey Road LIVE, Norway’s Norwegian Beatles, and Sweden’s The Repeatles. The festival is also expanding out of Louisville, bringing the show to Washington D.C. over Labor Day weekend. While Abbey Road should remind me of my youth, but it really just reminds me of hanging out along Abbey Road headed to St. John’s Wood…
Festival tickets are currently on sale at www.abbeyroadontheriver.com, with a free 21 or under pass for each ticket bought before April 30th.
