TONIGHT’S STONE TEMPLE PILOTS SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED:
STONE TEMPLE PILOTS were forced to postpone the last four shows of their summer tour after lead singer Scott Weiland was diagnosed with “inflamed vocal cords.” The band was scheduled to perform last night (Tuesday, September 13) at the Taft Theater in Cincinnati, Ohio and tonight (Wednesday, September 14) at Iroquois Amphitheater in Louisville, Kentucky. But per Weiland’s physician’s diagnosis, Scott was put on immediate vocal rest. Dr. Sid Khosla, director of the UC Health Voice Center in Cincinnati, said, “Today myself, Dr. Eva Van Leer and ENT Dr. Keith Casper consulted with Mr. Weiland. Upon a video stroboscopy, we determined his left vocal cord has likely scarring and his right vocal cord is tremendously inflamed. With such a heavy concert schedule and vocal activity, we determined that Mr. Weiland could potentially run the risk of a vocal hemorrhage or suffer permanent damage, hence putting him on complete vocal rest.” STP apologizes to their fans and refunds will be issued at point of purchase.
Dwight Yoakam plays Horseshoe Casino
Dwight Yoakam
Review by Jess Terrell
Someplace between Classic Country and the Rockabilly roots of Rock n Roll is the guitar infused upbeat Honky Tonk sound popularized in the fifties by the young George Jones and the late Johnny Horton. In later years Honky Tonk was carried west to California where it evolved to the Bakersfield sound of Merle Haggard and the late Buck Owens.
Last night at Horseshoe, Dwight Yoakam proved that Bakersfield Honky Tonk is alive and well. Rockin guitar and rapid fire nasal vocals punctuated an upbeat country sound that had the sell-out crowd dancing and singing for the entire 90 minute show. Yoakam delivered his vast catalog of hits in rapid fire succession pausing only to comment that he had family in Louisville and to let the crowd lead on “I sang Dixie”. The show was marred only by a distorted sound system and a 30 minute late start. Otherwise the party boogied on.
Yoakam payed homage to his influences with Johnny Horton’s “Honky Tonk Man” that featured an audience sing-a-long. Yoakam’s tribute album to Buck Owens found life in “My Heart Skips a Beat” as well as an impromptu take on the “Buckaroo” instrumental that used to feature Owen’s late guitarist Don Rich. Owens’ work was revisited in both ballad “Close up the Honky Tonks” and fun “Act Naturally”. The “Streets of Bakersfield” that Yoakam recorded with Owens shortly before his death was particularly moving.
The performance moved quickly from one tune to another mostly mirroring the studio versions with superb musicianship the only deviation was a more laid back version of Elvis’s “Little Sister” that was at first unrecognizable. Otherwise one toe-tapper after another kept the audience on their feet. Steam continued to build with “Little Ways”, “Ring of Fire”, and “1000 Miles” culminating with “Long white cadillac”.
The audience left reluctantly after the encore to scan the dial for Yoakam hits on the radio and dig the Buck Owens albums out of the closet.

Zombie Attack Walk 2011
On 8/29 at 8:29 Danger Run held its 2011 Zombie Attack Walk. It was a photographers dream. The Louisville Zombie Attack Walk has become a HUGE tradition in the Louisville area. The Zombie Attack Walk is a annual event that occurs every year. Why 8:29 on 8/29? This is the tradition that was started by it’s creators John King, Mike Welch, and Lyndi Lou marking their birthday. Little did they realize at the time that it would turn into such a popular event. That tradition reanimates itself each year in form of thousands of zombies walking down the middle of Bardstown Rd. Zombies stop the traffic in the streets and Louisville is in chaos. Much like the Dan O’Bannon’s Return of the Living Dead set in Louisville.

The ambitious eight-member pop outfit includes trombone, trumpet, cello, violin, guitar, organ, upright bass and drums. The smart music with lyrics about everyday adventures is a pool of Beatnik energy. Drake’s songwriting recalls the Beatles’ obscure tracks and the group gracefully moves through “wall of sound” alt-country with intensity and roaring musicality. This powerhouse of fun music is playing with a full deck. Their debut LP The Declaration of Ulysses will be released on Grape Juice Records this winter.
TUNESMITHS: [http://www.myspace.com/thetunesmiths]
These four craftsmen have made a name for themselves with high energy performances and creating unforgettable music at an incredible pace. Their genre-bending, timeless material combines the raw energy and power of rock n’ roll guitar, the smooth vocals of R&B, and the catchy rhythms of Soul. This group is a “must see” for music-goers looking for a great show and inventive music.
JACK HOLIDAY & THE WESTERNERS [http://www.facebook.com/BecomeAWesterner]
Incorporating strings and horns into the traditional rock format, Jack Holiday & the Westerners have developed an expansive sound that is reflective of their Louisville upbringing.
