A note from J. Brightskull….

Thrown Brick Records is dead, long live
BRIGHTSKULL RECORDS. (http://www.brightskull.com and
www.myspace.com/brightskull are up. In the wake of
this reorganization, Ayin are touring the northeast in
June in support of “nothing islands”. Ayin is going
out again with In Tongues in August (yes, In Tongues
is gearing to actually play out!). Pocket Bomb full
length CD out at the end of may. Lastly, the Kodan
Armada/Montcalm split 7″ has been repressed one last
time and is now available, a portion of the proceeds
benefit Adele Colins. And i’m spent.

New songs, new records, new, new, nudes… er, nevermind that last one.

*Coliseum’s new EP – GODDAMNAGE – is out today on Manic Ride records. It will be available at the show tonight, but I don’t know when Ear X-Tacy will have it.
*No Where Fast has new songs up on their myspace at http://www.myspace.com/nowherefastmusic so go and check it out. They will be touring with TastyFace soon. I saw the tour poster by Typocracy (MGL).. pretty sweet.
*Redhanded will be coming back this summer… look for them at Headliner’s with Dead City Rejects in June. Check the shows page for up-to-date info.
*Lord’sSwords” LP still isn’t out.
*Thommy Brown (Automatic, Enkindel/The Enkindels/BTGOG/more), Matt Weider (Mouthpiece/Kiwi/Automatic/The Enkindels/more), and Jeff Drake (Squarewell/My Life Denial) have started not one, but two new bands to be on the lookout for.. one is a “stoner rock” (TB’s words) band named GET DEAD, and the other is a more traditional hardcore band with no name. Get ready, this shit is sure to be off the proverbial hook.
*Straight Laced has lost their drummer. Graham moved from guitar to the drums to cover, but I’m sure they’re looking for someone to take the throne from him. Preferably someone that knows something about I dunno.. skinhead and mod stuff or something. They have also recently been picked up by Sta-Press Records, and will be releasing a full-length recorded with Kevin Ratterman soon.
*The Kinghorse tribute page has been updated with VIDEOS!. Yup.
*LHxC.com t-shirts should be in soon and ready for the Louisville Hardcore Cookout/Group Photo (hopefully). Everyone should come out to Hogan’s Fountain on May 21st and hang out around 2pm.. Skins, Punks, Goths, “normal” dudes, hardcores, fat kids, skinny kids, emos, whatever. Check for details on ye olde messageboard.

The Punk/Hardcore Guide To…..

Well, while I’m working on getting the message board back up, as well as preparing the April mp3s of the month (to be announced in the next 2 days), i’ve gotten sidetracked with other updates. An index page for The Punk/Hardcore Guide To Louisville has been prepared, and pictures have been taken for many of the places listed throughout the section. Better resturaunt reviews and whatnot will also be put into place shortly. And speaking of Punk/Hardcore guides, the Hardcore/Punk Guide To Christianity will be mirrored on this site soon as well as being reprinted in the near future.
p.s. the Kinghorse mp3s and videos will be up as soon as my future site hoster gets my stuff set up on their server.

Message Board

The forums will be down for a day or two. I’m working on the database and trying to get it ready to move to the new server.
It went down this morning for some unknown reason (maybe I accidentally did something, who knows/cares)…, and although I have a perfectly up-to-date back up from last night, I won’t have a chance to stick the backup files in place til maybe wednesday afternoon. (And I mean shit, it’s fuckin’ nice outside, go play in the damn sun! you don’t need a message board to run your life/entertainment/news gathering)
For anyone that hasn’t noticed, I put some messages on the contact page regarding show submissions. Some of you people/bands are driving me fucking nuts. Get a grip. And if you are just some douchebag frat-rock band, don’t bother with this site.

Local Internet Radio

For anyone that hasn’t noticed, Louisville Showcase has set up a streaming radio deal, jam packed w/ local music. Shit, I’m sitting here right now jamming to Omnicron by Guilt. Hit up the LS site, there’s a link to the stream on the right side of every page. You can’t miss it unless you’ve been snorting coke off the toilet seat at Cahooters all night.
