Friday, Dec. 14
Kaiju
The drums-and-guitar scream-rock duo GRLwood has been one of the most impactful and important bands in the Louisville music scene over the past couple of years, with a visceral, unhinged style and sharp lyrics. FuzzQueen from Washington D.C. and local staples Joann & The Dakota open.
Harpy
Saturday, Dec. 15
Kaiju
Harpy — the solo project of musician/visual artist Yoko Molotov — is an eccentric and brilliant dive into noise-punk and other experimental ideas. The latest Harpy album, Music for Paying Tolls Online, is an atmospheric reflection of being frustrated while trying to use an Internet payment system. The album Wrong Songs, which was released in 2016, is ominous, lo-fi and distortion-heavy, leaning into a gritty, underground punk style. It’s a project that Molotov is capable of moving in a lot of different directions. The bands Wet and 38-Barbies open.
