No doubt you’re already all up on the double vinyl release Monoliths & These Flowers Never Die. The party for Phantom Family Halo goes down this Wednesday at Lisa’s Oak Street Lounge with openers Softcheque (for fans of Blues Control, Broadcast, Stereolab). I’ve got two guest list passes for the show. Want to go? Leave a comment or shoot an email to kb[at]thedecibeltolls with the answer to the following question:

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR, PILGRIM?!

A winner will be chosen at random, or maybe a winner will be chosen for best response, or… I dunno. But someone will be crowned tomorrow evening by 1800 hrs (that’s 6 p.m.), so shoot that shit my way. You must verify that you’ll be in the Louisville area for the holiday week.

Ask and ye shall receive!

A couple of posts ago, I said that Louisville was not hoppin’ in the awesome show department so far this year, and they needed to step up their game (like the Cards should have two weeks ago, but that’s another story). And what do ya know, all ages art space Skull Alley decided to step the fuck up! Democracy in action, ya’llz. This makes up for the recently announced, totally bummer Forecastle lineup (two nights of Widespread Panic is two too many nights, ya heard?).
