Big Adventure
Adventure weren’t down for long. Following the departure of their rhythm section, the band regrouped with a new backseat driver, Josh Clark, and new bassist Kirk Kiefer (Yardsale), and will preview songs from their forthcoming record, due out in October, twice in the next week or so. They play at ear X-tacy (1534 Bardstown Road, 452-1799) on Friday Aug. 21, followed by a show at the Rudyard Kipling (422 W. Oak St., 636-1311) on Saturday, Aug. 29. Guitarist/singer Jordan Forst says the album contains a lot of four-track material, “to keep it in the likeness of Adventure.”

Bright lights
If you happen to see a 7-foot-tall gentleman bumping his head on the ceiling of Zanzabar (2100 S. Preston St.), that would be Guy, the star of Lucky Pineapple’s forthcoming video, “Moment in an Empty Street.”
On Friday Aug. 28, the Pineapples celebrate the national release of The Bubble Has Burst In Sky City on SonaBLAST! Records. The band play two sets, one of which is the album in its entirety.
