LDB Fest 2024 Set Times

It’s time! LDBBB Fest kicks off with the preshow tonight at Portal. I couldn’t get tickets so I hope someone gets video of the Nine Eyes reunion set and the Walk Alone first show back.

Set times for the rest of the weekend can be found below and on all LDB socials. As with the last few years, the main day’s events will be streaming on Twitch, so if you couldn’t get a ticket or are otherwise engaged (like… going to the Louisville City home opener), you can still check things out.

Not quite continuous integration, but just getting some cleanup and decent PHP linting was good enough for this site for now.

Guitarist Keith Lucius let it be known that tracks 1,2, and 4 are all new songs, with the balance being re-recorded versions of songs from the 2012 demo. Check out a preview in the embed below for now:
