Music only knows what the people feel

Weekend music review:

Saturday night we caught the late show at the Jazz Factory feating Louisville's own, Cabin. What a great band these guys are. For the guys, there's Sarah Welder on violin and keys. And for all the ladies, there's Noah Hewitt-Ball. Mmmmmm, mmmmm. What a yummy little treat he is. Not only does he write the lyrics and music for the band, he also sings lead, plays the piano and guitar. Quite the package. This was the first time I have see them play and I was pleasantly surprised. They are definitely on the rise, so keep an eye out for them.

Sunday afternoon brought a little more ear candy as well. Queens of the Stoneage were in town for the weekend and treated a small group of 300 or so to a free afternoon show at the local record store, ear X-tacy. After standing in line in the 100 degree heat (this is fact, not exageration) they finally let us in, 25 people at a time. And after about 20 more minutes of standing inside, the guys finally came out. Now, normally I don't like or listen to hard rock. But after hearing these guys play, I may have a change of heart. They played an acoustic set of about 6 songs and they killed it. If I wasn't a fan before, I am now. And to top it all off, the lead singer looks just like Jeremy Rizer.
