Karate Body @ Forecastle

June 30, 2010





Lucky Pineapple, The Fervor and The Ravenna Colt are scheduled to perform at the ninth annual Forecastle Festival, July 9-11 at scenic Waterfront Park in downtown Louisville. Tickets are on sale now, and you can find more information and scheduling at Forecastle’s website. Devo, The Flaming Lips and Smashing Pumpkins are among the headliners for this year.

Lucky Pineapple (12:30 p.m., July 10, East Stage) and its horny rhythm romp “Kablooey” appears on The Yellow Belt, a limited edition split 7-inch with Chicago’s Prizzy Prizzy Please, who contribute “Super Volcano.” Prizzy is on a U.S. tour now, so be sure to check out when they’re arriving, like a bright white UFO in the night.

The Fervor (6 p.m., July 11, North Stage) and its previously unreleased single, “No Apology” appears on The Green Belt split 7-inch with Cincinnati favorites and tourmates Wussy. Stay tuned for more as The Fervor’s finishing up work on its new album, Arise, Great Warrior.

The Ravenna Colt (8 p.m., July 11, North Stage) limited-edition, hand-numbered LP “Slight Spell” is in stores now. Each LP comes with a free download. He’s performing a free in-store show at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, July 7, at CD Central in Lexington, Ky. These will be the last two shows in the area for Colt ringleader John Quaid before he relocates to Boise, Idaho later this summer. More shows and video news on the way.

As well, Maiden Radio, featuring Cheyenne Mize, performs July 9 on the North Stage, as does Whistle Peak on Sunday, July 11. Both artists are featured on our inaugural release, Louisville Is For Lovers Vol. 9, available now in double LP on limited edition red-and-white marble vinyl. Mize’s duet album with Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Among The Gold, is available as a special MP33.3 release from Think Indie.
