Two weeks ago we had our first show in the SUMMER 7″ SERIES on the Glassworks rooftop with The Bad Reeds and Workers with a free 7″ record to everyone at the door. It was a great night despite the looming rain that kept a lot of folks home, and it got new music from local bands onto some sexy yellow vinyl.
This series is supposed to have a show every month through the summer with the next one on JUNE 24th on the Glassworks Rooftop with Second Story Man and Adventure.  It is an ambitious series, maybe too ambitious, that celebrates local music as well as the timeless art of Vinyl, and for just $10 a show you get both. Unfortunately vinyl costs a fortune as well as playing at such a unique venue such as Glassworks, and after several financial hits I fear we may not be able to continue. But, I am not giving up, as I never have, and I am asking you to please give and in supporting local music and spreading the word about this Unique and exciting project.
We are asking for you to help by pre-ordering tickets to this series so that we can pay for the next round of vinyl, and in exchange we are cutting the price and giving away a ton of extras.
By pre-ordering your ticket for the 6/24 show w/Adventure+Second Story Man for just $10 you will get the limited edition 7″ from both bands as well as the Bad Reeds+Workers 7″.
tickets are also avialable for the Scott Carney band+Deloreans show on 8/19 or the Gallery Singers+Whistle Peak show on 9/16 for just $8 each.
Or for just $25 you can get a season pass for all three shows/7″s as well as 2 more 7″s, that’s 3 shows and five 7″s for only $25. it’s an unbeatable deal. Please help us by telling your friends about this project!

Season Pass: $25 (for the 3 remaining events at the glassworks rooftop). 21+. comes with a season pass and poster, at the door of first show. order now and receive an additional two 7″s, the workers/bad reeds 7″ and the gallery singers/another7astronauts 7″ from last summer. that’s 5 records and 3 events for just $25!                 note: must be at event to get  7″, we cannot set aside records.

The local section already has some great ‘must haves’ from the Louisville is for Lovers family including Whistle Peak’s first Album and many others.  so head on down to the main branch and look for the local music section…

after carefully reviewing the footage, our top scientists have concluded that on 8/29/10 at 9pm there were 5,400 zombies within the barricade on Bardstown RD. with a conservative estimate of 6 thousand total!

we would like to thank everyone who came out to help us break the world record (previous record: 4K) we will dot our I’s and cross our t’s and send our findings to the Guinness Book of World records, and hopefully we have met their guidelines, and met their counting requirements.

we will begin adding photos and videos to our zombie attack page, if you have any to share please send them to zombieattack@louisvilleisforlovers.com
