Bands are ghosts.

They show up, play for 20 minutes, leave a bourbon stain on the floor, and vanish. All that's left is grainy footage and the people who were lucky enough to be in the room. 

This is TTG. May 17th, 2014, Modern Cult Records for their debut show and the latest in the Louisville archive live music series. High energy angular guitars, hooky keyboards, and a locked-in rhythm section. The kind of nervous, danceable punk rock that never leaves your head. 

They're gone now. But this night still exists—because the tape was rolling.

Go watch something that doesn't exist anymore.

Subscribe if you believe in preserving the rubble.

Volume 9 of the Louisville Archive takes you back to Dreamland Louisville, 2014, featuring IamIs. There are bands you hear. And then there are bands you feel. IamIs is the second kind. Out of Louisville comes a sound that is unmistakably R&B at its core, but wrapped in a mystic carnival haze. Floaty. Hypnotic. Utterly unique. This is the perfect soundtrack for staring at the clouds or the stars. Music that evokes the quiet drama of your own thoughts and refuses to play by anyone's rules. What they do is a rare kind of alchemy. Songs that drift through different parts of your psyche, anchored by some of the best vocals you have ever heard. 
Haunting.
Smooth.
Important. 
Press play. Let the haze wash over you.

Louisville Archive Volume 8 is here. Get ready for some serious energy. This volume features Jaxon Lee Swain—imagine a 1950s boogie-woogie band that went punk. High-octane, charismatic as hell, and backed by an absolutely killer band. Pure Louisville magic. Recorded at Monnik Beer Company in 2017,  restored and mastered by Thomas. Burgos. Watch the full set now and check out their wonderful EP Night Diamonds  via SonaBLAST records. Hope you dig it and subscribe so you don't miss future volumes!

 Here is volume seven of our new Louisville archive live music video series ,featuring Twenty First Century Fox. TFCF are a long running Louisville, Kentucky based band who defy all descriptions. While they are super high energy and hip shaking danceable party music, there is something much more complex going on under the surface, making them one of our favorite bands of this era. This show took place on August 26th, 2016 at Zanzabar and was the release party for their excellent cassette YR WELCOME. TFCF were prolific and dropped four full-lengths and a split seven inch.  Sit back, relax and enjoy!

This is volume six of our Louisville archive live music video series. The series focuses on preserving video/audio of various bands and musicians performing live in Louisville, Kentucky. This volume features The Instruction, who were a Louisville‑based vocal driven atmospheric indie rock group. They released two records: Failure By Design (2009) (SonaBLAST Records) and Monster Maker (2019) (Independent Release). The show took place on October 17th, 2015 at The New Vintage​. Sit back, relax and enjoy!

This is volume five of our Louisville archive live music video series. The series focuses on preserving video/audio of various bands and musicians performing live in Louisville, Kentucky. This volume features Cheyenne Mize & Julia Purcell with special guest Tori Fisher (Fire In The Saddle), who play some of the most authentically beautiful bluegrass, folk, country and Appalachian music we have ever heard. This performance took place at Modern Cult Records on December 11th, 2015 and was one of the release shows for the Head Cleaner Compilations and fundraiser for community radio station ARTXFM. Mize and Purcel made up 2/3rds of the group Maiden Radio which have an amazing vinyl record from OK Recordings called Wolvering that is highly recommended. This is a particularly sizzling performance that builds, so we suggest you sit in for the whole thing. Our deepest gratitude goes out to Thomas Burgos for his audio restoration and mastering of this show! Our recording rig was having issues that evening and through much care,  he was able to make this audio more than presentable. Otherwise, this show would have been lost to history, much love! Sit back, relax and enjoy!!

This is volume four of our new Louisville archive live music video series. The series focuses on preserving video/audio of various bands and musicians performing live in Louisville, Kentucky. This volume features Isolation Tank Ensemble, a cinematic, instrumental, progressive group hailing from Louisville, Kentucky. The group is full of expert musicians that take big risks with their genre defying sounds that pays off in a huge way for the listeners! This is a video of  a very early show of theirs (with a slightly different lineup) that took place at the Louisville institution Dreamland on July 30th, 2016. Isolation Tank Ensemble are still at it too, go check out their two independently released records or see them at one of their highly recommended shows. The audio for this volume was expertly restored and mastered by Thomas Burgos. Sit back, relax and enjoy!!

This is volume three of our new Louisville archive live music video series. The series focuses on preserving video/audio of various musicians performing live in Louisville, Kentucky. This volume features Cher Von,  a Louisville‑based experimental vocalist and composer who creates otherworldly soundscapes using her voice, a vocal processor, a bass drum, and other found objects. Cher Von was a serious force in the experimental scene in Louisville, we recommend checking out her record " Kuhh Duuh" on auralgami SOUNDS. The show took place on October 17th, 2015 at The New Vintage. The audio for this show was beautifully restored and mastered by Thomas Burgos.

This is volume two of our Louisville archive live music video series. The series focuses on preserving video/audio of various bands performing live in Louisville, Kentucky. This volume features Rude Weirdo, a fun, high energy Louisville‑based punk group started in 2008. So fun in fact, that during this performance their lead singer removes an aluminum foil package from under his wig containing a cocktail shrimp and proceeds to take a "Shrimp Break"! The show took place on December 28, 2013 and was held at the 1880's vaudeville theater Nelligan Hall to support the CHIME music series that was curated by Brian Manley. Rude Weirdo is still alive and well and will be performing live at Whirling Tiger on February 20th with Decline Effect and Devils.

It has been a long time ya'll, but it is so good to see you in 2026! We are very excited to announce our Louisville Archive live music video series. We recently found a hard drive with many interesting live shows from various eras of Louisville music of all shapes and sizes. The plan is to release one show per week on our youtube page until we run out. I have partnered with Thomas Burgos and much care was taken to cleanup, preserve and master the audio of these shows. Volume one (linked below) features the very awesome Black Birds of Paradise, a Louisville‑based psychedelic lounge‑metal quintet that crafts eclectic, genre‑defying music. This is a video of the release show for their incredible sophomore album Terror Bird (2016) which captures their unique blend of dense instrumentation, noise, and melodic hooks. The show also included the amazing hand done visual displays by Spettra. Sit back, relax and enjoy! Like and subscribe to our Youtube page for further notifications.
