Anderson
Primitive bar guitarist, Anderson has appeared in small
local venues sporadically for nearly half his 3+ decades on the instrument.
Although often fairly traditional in approach, this is no pocket-folk act,
billing more often with experimental ensembles, or acts hatched from punk and
outside jazz. The company he keeps reflects his uniquely aggressive approach of
fierce and intricate finger picking coupled with pre- emphysematic vocals.
Offering a fair balance of original material as well as a rare selection of the
spoils from local and general larceny, Anderson shows many faces on stage.
Stylistically agile, he is often subtle and beautiful or forceful and offensive,
but always intensely present.
- “Feels like car trouble in the desert; I thought he was dead.” - Doug Martin
PhD
- “…through smoke and whiskey to soak into your consciousness whole. Anderson's
played chattering bar rooms and humid porches, dim nightclubs and open
wilderness. He's traded licks with cowboys and bluesmen, with rockers and
honkey-tonk casualties, with punkers and jazzmen.” -Bill Zink
- ”Si me tocas una vez mas, dicere mi esposo” -anonymous
Furlong
Hailing From the bourbon swigging, horse bettin’ town
of Louisville, Kentucky, Furlong, named for a 1/8th of a mile distance in horse
racing, is a nasty beautiful bloody train wreck of genres. You will hear
elements of Punk, Rock, Jazz, Pop, Indie, Funk, Roots, Blues, and Reggae in the
middle of this loud and fiery wreck of sound that has no musical boundaries or
set style. Yet, the music is set in a pop sensibility. This seasoned three piece
consisting of Dave Rucinski-Guitars/Vocals, Jim Hall- Bass and Andy Matter-
Drums has been playing together since 2003. Their music has been included on
“The Indestructible Gubbey Records Sampler” Vol 1 & 2.(2003,2006), Louisville Is
For Lovers Vol. 10 (2010) and a split seven inch
record (2010) with Anderson on the Louisville, Kentucky based independent label Gubbey
Records, buy it here. Their music has seen airplay on several radio stations
WFPK, WNYU, and KALX. They have shared the stage with such acts as Audrey Ryan,
Adventure, The Slow Break, The Mad Happy, The Kentucky Prophet, Yardsale, Ron
Whitehead, Sara Elizabeth, The Tallest and many more. Comparisons have been made
to Captain Beefheart, Pavement, Frank Zappa, Ween and The Velvet Underground.

Rare Treats
Rare Treats-Wolf In People’s Clothing is an album
conceived, written and performed by Louisville folk artist Patrick Thompson.
This album was recorded over the last year and a half in a very stripped down,
DIY fashion. This raw and gritty sound was achieved by using only two
microphones and unorthodox recording techniques. Half digital, half analog.
Thompson wanted to make a record that didn’t sound entirely like it came from
Louisville, Kentucky. The music is equal parts punk rock, experimental and
no-wave. Song structure is simple but full of multiple layers of instrumentation
and lyrics.
Originally meant to be for friends only, it is now available to the public on
Gubbey Records.
Mr. Samples
Mr. Samples is not a pirate, a chiropractor nor a former pope. Rather a musical project of Louisville citizen Dave Rucinski .He plays catchy semi-electronic noise funk music with sound samples thrown in the mix. He has been featured on The Indestructible Gubbey Records Sampler Vol.2 with the song “I’m Going To Grout your Bifka” and also has an ep due out soon. Until then he will be enrolling in classes to become a pirate.
