The For Carnation at the Speed Museum's "Art After Dark" event (Louisville, 9 pm $10)
The For Carnation is a really awesome Louisville band featuring Brian McMahan (of Slint) and a rotating cast of characters. Not sure what the exact line-up will be for this show, but i think it includes Todd Cook (Parlour, Shipping News, Crain, etc.) and;
I was under the impression that The For Carnation was a thing of the past and that as often as I listen to their self-titled album (which is great!), they were one of those bands I would never get a chance to see live. Then recently I learned they were playing the ATP 10 years anniversary party in England, and then they (rather quietly) announced this "Art After Dark" event (which also features multi-media art, zombie theater, fire dancing and an early performance by renowned Lexington cellist Ben Sollee). Word on the street is that this will be an all cover set, which is slightly a bummer to me because I really love their originals, but maybe they didn't feel the Louisville art museum crowd would take to their suuuuuuper sloooooow and heavvvvy post rock (kind of like Slint on some really good downers). Anyway, I've been told to expect Nina Simone, George Michael, Curtis Mayfield (which may be why the Art After Dark description describes them as being "R&B-influenced," a term I would never personally employ when talking about The For Carnation, but which I guess sort of makes sense in a weird way...)
RIYL Slint, Shipping News, Explosions in the Sky.
Highly recommended :)

Broadcast and Atlas Sound at the Wexner Center (Columbus, Ohio)
It's a bit of a haul, but shit, Broadcast came all the way from England and your 3-hour drive will TOTALLY be worth it.
Broadcast = sexy British femme fatale shoegaze magic. New mini album with The Focus Group drops October 26. Maybe the merch guy will hook it up at midnight.
Atlas Sound = aka Bradford Cox = aka Deerhunter frontman = aka dude who told you at Boomslang that if you acted that if you talked during the set of a Phil Elverum show (Microphones/Mt. Eerie), Phil would beat the shit out of you and your blood would totally be on his sweater = aka beautiful and lo-fi melodic space pop.
